mong the novelties which are continually appearing in the interesting 
b3| family to which the present work is devoted, may be found occasionally 
one whose relation to previously described species is somewhat remote, 
so that it becomes difficult or impossible to fit it into any existing genus. This 
was the case with Moorea irrorata and Neobenthamia gracilis, two very distinct 
types which I felt bound to consider as representing new, and perhaps monotypic 
genera. And now a third case appears in which a similar course seems necessary. 
It is that of a plant introduced by Messrs Linpen, L’HorticuLturE INTERNATIONALE, 
Brussels, which has recently flowered in their establishment, and whose portrait 
is given in the annexed plate. 
It has the general habit of a Catasetum, or a species of Eulophia with an 
aérial pseudobulb, as Eulophia scripta, this organ bearing a number of rings or 
annular scars, which mark the bases of the leaves and sheathing bracts, remaining 
persistent on the pseudobulbs as a ring of fibrous threads. The leaves on the 
only young pseudobulb seen are four in number, narrowly lanceolate and attenuate 
below into the petiole, nearly two feet long, and with plicate veins. The scape, 
which rises from the base of the young pseudobulb, is nearly a foot long, somewhat 
arching, unbranched, and, together with the rather fleshy concave obtuse bracts 
and the pedicels, of a deep lurid vinous-purple, which contrasts strongly with the
