ting and forming 2 pairs. Ovary very long, round, scarcely twisted, 
slightly thickened upwards, STYLE none. Stiema a viscid concave 
disc, situated immediately below the anther, with a stigmatic canal, 
which extends to the ovary. 
Popunar aNp GeocrapHicat Notice. Few more interesting spe- 
cies of orchidaceous plants have come under our consideration, than 
that which we have just described. Yet itis by no means a newly-dis- 
covered plant, for besides being known to Dr. Wallich, who described 
it under the name of Dendrobium Calceolus, from Dr. Carey's Gar- 
den, in India, it was found in the progress of Symes'’s interesting Em- 
bassy to Ava, in 1795, and described by Dr. Hamilton (now Buchan- 
nan) in Symes’s Narrative, 4to Edit. London, 1800, p. 478, from which 
we learn that the Birmese name is Thee-kna-nec. It would appear to 
have a considerable geographical range, for it occurs at Rangoon in 
Gosuingstham in Nepaul, and at Pegu. Neither is the superb character 
of the flowers their only recommendation, for they diffuse a faint odor, 
resembling musk; a conjunction of properties which never fails to at- 
tract us most forcibly towards their possessors. 
Notwithstanding the different colour of the flowers, and the narrow 
leaves of the plant, which Dr. Hooker describes in Exotic Flora, plate 
184, under the designation of Dendrobium Calceolaria, we agree with 
Dr. Lindley in his conjecture that it is the same as Dendrobium mos- 
chatum. - 
INTRODUCTION; WHERE GROWN; CULTU This plant was sent, 
some years ago, by Dr. Wallich, from Calcutta, to the Liverpool Bot- 
anic Garden. To this extensive and well-conducted establishment, we 
are indebted for the opportunity of figuring it, in which we have been 
admirably assisted by the experienced pencil of Miss Nicholson of 
Liverpool. It flowered in June of the present year, 1837. 
DerRivaTION OF THE NAMES. 
Denprostum from Azvépov a tree, and Boe life, from living upontrees. Mos- 
cHatum from Moschus, musk: but Dr. Wallich says the smell resembles Rhu- 
SynonyMEs.
