 A. Clowesii eburnea, supra. A. eburnea, Williams' Orch. Alb. III. t. 133. 

 According to his own statement published in Pescatorea, M. Linden 

 first detected this orchid near the village of Jaji in the province 

 of Merida in 1842; it was shortly afterwards gathered by Schlira 

 near Ocana, and a little later still further north by Purdie who 

 sent it to the Royal Gardens at Kew. Its range is now known 

 to extend along both slopes of the eastern Cordillera of New 

 Granada from Santa Martha to Bogota, it being in some localities 

 very abundant. It flowered for the first time in this country in 

 the collection of the Rev. John Clowes, at Broughton Hall, near 

 Manchester, in the summer of 1844. Of the origin and introduction 

 of the variety, a very beautiful and rare one, we find no record ; 

 our knowledge of it is derived from a plant in the collection of 

 Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., at Burford Lodge.
