Sarcochilus Berkeleyi, Hook. f. FI. Brit. Ind. VI. p. 37 (1890). Thrixspermum 

 Berkeley!, Rclib. in Gard. Chron. XVI 1. (1882), p. 537. 



A very handsome species, discovered by Major-General E. S. Berkeley, 



as he himself informs us, in several islands in the Malay Archipelago. 



It is known in gardens under the name of Thrixspermum BerTieleyi, to 



Sarcocliilus I5cikeloyi. 



which genus it \vias referred by Reichenbach, who first described it; 

 but Thrixsperraunl being now merged into Sarcochihis, Loureiro's 

 barbarous name will, it is to be hoped, disappear from orchid nomen- 

 clature.
