No. 1767, 
PLEUROTHALLIS LANCEANA. 
Class. Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
We received this plant in June 1831, 
from our kind friend Mr. Lance, of Suri- 
nam, who has sent us home many interest- 
ing plants ; and in grateful recollection of 
this, we could not do better than name this 
new species after him. It appears to grow 
upon trees, and flowered here in August. 
It requires the stove at all seasons, and 
seems to succeed pretty well, like the others 
of this genus, potted in vegetable earth: 
it will most probably increase occasionally 
by dividing its roots.
