supplementary to the Encyc. of Plants and Hort. Brit. 79 



is of easy cultivation, and the most free flowering individual of 

 the genus. (B. M. B., Jan. 1839, No. 4.) 



-f Epidendron calamarium Lindl. " A Brazilian species, allied 

 to E. fragrans, imported by Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it 

 flowered in October" last. In has "yellowish green flowers, 

 with five small violet-coloured spots at the base of the lip." 

 (B. M. B., Nov., No. 163.) 



+ Satgriimi candidum Lindl. " One of the terrestrial Orchi- 

 daceae of the Cape of Good Hope, concerning which so little is 

 as yet known in Europe. It was brought home by Sir John 

 Herschel, with whom it flowered in Hanover Terrace, Regent's 

 Park, in October, 1838 ; its flowers are a pure white, and emit 

 a most delightful aromatic fragrance." {B. M. B., Nov., No. 153.) 

 -f- S. papillosum Lindl. " The flowers are of a deep clear rose 

 colour, melting into white, and richly spotted with purple in the 

 throat : they smell like sweet vernal grass." This species was 

 brought over in a growing state in a box of Cape earth. (B. M. B., 

 Nov., No. 154.) 



+ Noti/lia inciirva Lindl. The flowers are of a pale straw 

 colour, and very large. " Messi's. Loddiges obtained it from 

 Trinidad." (B. M. B., Dec, No. 167.) 



+ N. Barken Lindl. " Very like the last, but the flowers 

 are smaller and yellower." Introduced from Mexico by Mr. 

 Barker in 1837. {B. M. B., Dec. No. 168.) 



+ N. tenuis Lindl. This species was received by Messrs. 

 Loddiges from Demerara. Its flowers are smaller than those of 

 the preceding kind. (B. M. B., Dec, No. 169.) 



+ N. micrdntha Lindl. This is also a native of Demerara, 

 and its flowers are not more than half the size of the last. They 

 are of a pale green, with a yellowish lip ; and the petals have no 

 spots. {B. M. B., Dec, No. 170.) 



+ Mormbdes pardma Bate. Discovered by Baron Kar- 

 winsky in Oaxaca. It is of a robust habit, with primrose flowers 

 spotted with reddish purple, which " exhale a most delightful 

 perfume" It flowered with Mr. Bateman at Knypersley in 

 July last. Mr. Barker has a self-coloured variety of this species. 

 {B. M. B., Dec, No. 176.) 



The Cyclosia maculata of Klotsch Dr. Lindley considers to 

 be the same as this species. 



+ Bifrenaria ? longicornis Lindl. Dr. Lindley considers it 

 doubtful whether this plant can be referred to Bifrenaria, as 

 "the lateral sepals are extended into a long clavate spur; and 

 there are two glands, as well as two caudiculae, to the pollen 

 masses. Its relationship to B. aurantlaca is, however, such as 

 to make us unwilling to separate it at present. The flowers 

 are orange, spotted with brown ; and in a raceme very like that of 

 the species just mentioned." (R, M. B., Dec, No. 177.) 



+ Trichocentron iridifblium G. Loddiges. " A small species,
