A very pretty little Chilian shrub, with scaly leaves like a Thuja, and white 

 heath-like flowers, which it produces in great profusion. In its native country 

 it grows on the sandy banks of rivers. It requires the protection of a green- 

 house in winter, but in summer " it should be turned out of doors, but not 

 exposed to too bright sunshine." It is propagated by cuttings, and should be 

 grown in a mixture of peat and sand. There are plants in the nurseries of 

 Messrs. Lucombe and Pince at Exeter, and Messrs. RoUisson of Tooting.

2554. EPIDE'NDRON (Encyclia) 



cepiforme Hook. Owion-rooted £ □ or 3 my O Mexico 1838. D p.r.w Bot. mag. 3765. 



A very splendid species of Epidendron, belonging to the division considered 

 as a new genus by Sir W. J. Hooker, under the name of Encyclia ; but 

 which Dr. Lindley thinks will not stand, and which Sir W. J. Hooker himself 

 appears to have abandoned. The present species is a native of Mexico, 

 whence it was sent, in 1838, by Mr. Parkinson, the consul there, to the late 

 Duke of Bedford, at Woburn. {Bot. Mag., Dec.) 



+ inversum Lindl. A native of Brazil, nearly related to E. fragrans. 

 " The flowers are straw-coloured, with a few purple streaks on the column, 

 and at the base of the lip, and have a heavy not very pleasant smell, some- 

 thing like that of ground ivy." Dr. Lindley proposes to include all the species 

 of Epidendron, of which E. fragrans may be considered the type, in one 

 section under the name of Osmophytum. (^B. M. R., No. 133., Nov.)

eldta Lindl. This species has lately flowered in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden. " The leaves are more than a foot long," and the flowers are white, 

 " stained with yellow near the point of the lip, and having an unpleasant 

 smell, very like that of the berberry blossom." (i?. M, R., No. 151., Dec.)

" This plant has very much the aspect of a gigantic Cymbidium, with long 

 coriaceous leaves, distichous at the base." The raceme is large and hand- 

 some, but the flowers themselves want brilliancy of colour. (Bot. Reg., Dec, 

 and PaxL Mag. of Bot.) 



3538. CYRTOCHI'LUM

A curious little plant, a native of Peru, imported in 1837. When this 

 plant was first mentioned in the miscellaneous matter of the Botanic Register 

 for 1838, the flowers were described as "bright yellow white- coloured," 

 instead of "bright yellow whole-coloured." {Bot, Reg., Nov.)
