In the figure is depicted a branch, or part of one, bearing 

 three leaves, and a raceme of 24 flowers : that part of the raceme 

 upon which the flowers are seated is about 6 in. long. The 

 colour of the flowers and bracteas is yellow; the labellum is of 

 a golden yellow, and pubescent. The flowers are rather large. 

 The figure has been prepared from the species in a living state, 

 in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges. " Beautiful as is the 

 specimen represented, it is still inferior to what is produced in 

 India ; so that cultivators have still a point to gain in respect to 

 this charming species." {Bot. Reg.,, Jan.)

Leafless, stoloniferous. Racemes tribrachiate. Perianths of 

 a brownish or golden-yellow colour, and the labellum white, and 

 elegantly penciled within, as in D. Pierard/. This species has 

 been discovered growing from the crevices of sandstone rocks, 

 on the eastern side of Sydney Cove, Port Jackson. Dr. Lindley 

 had derived the account published from Mr. Allan Cunningham, 

 who had derived it, and a specimen, from his brother, Mr. Rich- 

 ard Cunningham, who has called it cassythoides, from the 

 resemblance that, at first sight, it has to the laurineous " genus 

 cassytha, not only in its leafless character and short racemes of 

 flowers, but in its peculiar chocolate bronze or japanned papulose 

 stems." It is deemed remarkable of this species, that it should 

 have been so long overlooked, in a locality which, it is considered, 

 has, doubtless, been traversed by botanists of many countries of 

 Europe. It seems to be the fact, that this species has not yet 

 been received in a living state in Britain. (Bot. Reg., Jan.)

Leaves subrotundo- ovate, cucullate, acute. Spike many- 

 flowered, cylindrical. Germen purple. Sepals dark purple. 

 Lips dark purple in the middle, yellow and crenulate at the 

 edges. Received at the Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden, 

 from Mrs. Col. Walker, Ceylon. It has flowered twice since 

 in the stove. " It ought to stand, in the arrangement of the 

 species, between L. purpurascens and L. atropurpiirea, and is 

 distinguished from the former by its spike, and from the latter 

 by its acutely angled, almost winged, stem." [Dr, Graham, ia 

 the Edin. New. Phil. Jaurn., Jan.)
