but square. Thus I finally adopt M. Endres’ view that it must be regarded 
a peculiar species. It was discovered so early as June 1867, in Costa Rica, 
by M. Endres, who proposed to name it in honour of one of his acquaint- 
ances. I have only lately had the pleasure of obtaining fresh flowers from 
Messrs. Veitch, who obtained it from Costa Rica. These gentlemen had, 
however, obtained the flower from W. Burnley Hume, Esq., who had pro- 
cured the plant from them.” 
Shortly afterwards it was figured in the Botanical Magazine (t. 6003), and 
in 1883 also in the Gartenflora (xxxii, p. 98, t. 1114, fig. 1), the latter figure 
being from a plant which flowered in the Zurich Botanic Garden. It is 
much handsomer than the original species. 
There is a Colombian variety, Wallisii, described by Reichenbach as 
Batemannia Burtii var. Wallisii (Gard. Chron., 1873, p. 575). The author 
observed :—‘‘ It is a very interesting fact that Mr. Wallis discovered this 
plant in New Granada, where it appears in large quantities. Mr. Linden 
has, I believe, disposed of it largely in London sales, so that flowering 
examples may soon appear in England.” In 1880 he received fresh flowers 
from Messrs. Veitch, and described it as a species under the name of Bate- 
mannia Wallisii (Gard. ‘Chron., 1880, xiii, p. 776), but the differences 
pointed out are slight. It is figured in the Orchid Album as B. Wallisii 
major (iv. t. 185), but is still very imperfectly known. According to Roezl 
a similar variety is found in Ecuador. 
HUNTLEYA ALBIDO-FULVA was described and figured by Lemaire in 
1868 (Ill. Hort., xv. t. 556). It was received from Brazil in the previous 
year, and flowered in the establishment of M. Ambrose Verschaffelt.. The 
author was a little doubtful about its specific distinctness, for he remarked 
that it was extremely near to Huntleya meleagris, and if not specifically 
distinct, was at least a variety wholly different in the colour of the flowers. 
He also pointed out that the genus was utterly different from Batemannia, 
to which Reichenbach had united it, and ought to be considered as distinct. 
The species has since been met with in Trinidad, in hills of the Aripo 
district, and the scanty dried materials available for comparison show some 
differences, which seem to confirm Lemaire’s views of its distinctness. 
H, Lucipa [Zygopetalum (§ Huntleya) lucidum Rolfe in Gard. Chron., 
1889, v. p. 798,] isa very distinct and pretty little species which was intro- 
duced from British Guiana in 1886, by Messrs: F. Sander & Co., and 
flowered three years later in their establishment at St. Albans. Itis a 
much smaller plant than its allies, but otherwise very similar in general 
character, and in colour. The flowers are but little over two inches in 
diameter.
