as in so many of the Urticeae, to which natural order it is probably correctly 



referred ; though whether it be a true Brosimum, as Mr. Don is inclined to 



suppose, or a new genus, as Humboldt has suggested, must yet remain a 



doubt." (Hot. Mag., May.)

This species " was found near Oaxarca by Count Karwinski, and is probably 

 not uncommon in collections, large quantities having been received by various 

 persons from Mexico." It should be cultivated in a cooler house than usual 

 for orchidaceous plants. (Bot. Reg., May.) 



30133. autumnalis, syn. Bletia autumnalis La Llave, Bot. reg. 1839, 27. 



This beautiful species flowered for the first time in England at Woburn. 

 (Bot. Reg., May.) 



L. majdlis Lindl., syn. Cattleya Grahami Lindl. This plant, the Flor de 

 Mayo of the Mexicans, was sent home in 1839, by M. Hartweg, "who found 

 it on the mountains near Leon, growing upon oak trees, at the height of 

 8000 ft., where it sometimes freezes." From the dried specimens it appears 

 to be a magnificent species ; but " it proves exceedingly difficult of culti- 

 vation." (B. M. R., No. 42., May.) 



3734. SCHOMBU'RGKjM 37708 marginata, var. petalis sepalisque immarginatis Hook., Bot. mag. 3729. 



Differing from the species in the margin of the petals not being yellow, and 

 the lip more waved. It is a native of Surinam, and was flowered by Thomas 

 Brocklehurst, Esq., of the Fence, near Manchester, in Dec. 1838. ( Bot. Mag., 

 June.)

 coloured flowers, having crimson blotches. Imported by Messrs. Loddiges 

 from La Guayra. (B. M. R., No. 68., June.) 



Trigonidium tenue Lodd. Cat., No. 582. A native of Demerara, with brown- 

 ish purple flowers. (B. M.R., No. 59., June.)

This plant was sent to Woburn (where it blossomed in Feb. 1839.), by 

 Mr. Gardner, from the Organ Mountains ; and it differs from the species in 

 having very glaucous foliage and a white lip. (Bot. Mag., June.)

+ferruginea Lindl. rusty 1? ZD or 2 mr Pk Calcutta 1837. D r.w.p Bot. reg. 1839, 35. 



The foliage of a very dark green, and the smooth delicate pink petals, form 

 a striking contrast with the coarse green shaggy sepals. The lip is most 

 singularly crested, and looks more like the edge of some cowrie shell, than 

 the petal of a flower. (Bot. Reg., June.) 



-f- Dendrobium Paxtoni Lindl. A very handsome species of a well known 

 genus, found at the foot of the Khoseea Hills by Mr. Gibson, and named by 

 Dr. Lindley in honour of Mr. Paxton. (B. M. R., No. 56., June.) 



Dendrobium Heynewam Lindl. " This very pretty species has flowered 

 imperfectly with Messrs. Loddiges, who received it from Bombay by the over- 

 land conveyance." (B. M. R., No. 41. May.) 



D. macrophyllum Lindl. This, the handsomest species of the genus, has 

 been received by Messrs. Loddiges from Manilla. (B. M. R., No. 46., May.)

 No. 43. May.) 



Polystdchya affinis Lindl. " has lately flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 

 who imported it from Sierra Leone. It proves extremely different from P. 

 puberula." ^ (B. M. R,, No. 44., May.) 



-+- Isochllus lividus Lindl. " A small dingy-flowered plant, imported from 

 Mexico by George Barker, Esq., of Birmingham." (B. M. R., No. 45., May.)
