THE ORCHID REVIEW. 333 
(t. 207), ‘‘received from Rio, through Captain Graham, in 1824, and 
flowered in the stove of the Edinburgh Botanic Garden in March, 1826”; 
Catasetum semiapertum (t. 213), ‘‘ sent by Bell Edward Lloyd, Esq., from 
Brazil, to Miss P. S. Faulkner, of Fairfield, who presented them to the 
Liverpool Botanic Garden,” where they flowered in the stove in May, 
1826; Maxillaria parvula (t. 217), communicated from the collection of 
Mrs. Arnold Harrison, whose brother sent it from the Organ Mountains in 
Brazil; and M. aromatica (t. 219), procured by Lord Napier from Mexico, 
and communicated to the Botanic Garden at Edinburgh, where they 
bloomed in May, 1826. The two latter are now referred to Bifrenaria and 
Lycaste respectively. The collection at the Liverpool Botanic Garden was 
evidently very successfully managed at this period, for we also find a hand- 
some plate of Cattleya Loddigesii (t. 186), with the remark that the species 
“was introduced for the first time into Great Britain at the Botanic Garden 
at Liverpool, from the neighbourhood of St. Paul’s, Brazil, by Mr. 
Woodforde, as long ago as the year 1810. It blossomed there in 1811, 
and has done so every year since, and from it, Mr. Shepherd believes, have 
originated all the individuals that exist in other collections.” Brassia 
caudata (t. 179) is also mentioned as a “‘ superb specimen” from the same 
coliection. 
In 1827 Dr. W. J. Hooker, then Professor of Botany at Glasgow, 
became Editor of the Botanical Magazine, and the volume for this year con- 
tains plates of no less than thirteen Orchids, eight of which were novelties, 
and two of them new genera. The latter were Zygopetalon Mackaii (t. 2748), 
described as a plant of great beauty, introduced from Brazil, and flowered 
with Mr. Mackay, of the Dublin College Botanic Garden, in February, 1827 ; 
and Lockhartia elegans (t. 2715), which was sent from Trinidad by Mr. 
David Lockhart, and flowered at Kew. The others were :—Oncidium 
Pulchellum (t. 2773), sent from Demerara by C. S. Parker, Esgq., and 
flowered at the Liverpool Botanic Garden in June, 1827; Maxillaria Parkeri 
(t. 2729), with the same history as the preceding; M. racemosa (t. 2789), 
Teceived from Rio de Janeiro, and flowered in the “rich collection ” of 
Richard Harrison, Esq., of Aigburth, near Liverpool (now referred to Bi- 
frenaria) ; Pleurothallis foliosa (t. 2746), received from Brazil, and flowered 
at the Dublin College Botanic Garden in February, 1827 (now referred to 
Gomeza) ; Bletia Woodfordii (t. 2719), which flowered at Kew, and after- 
wards proved identical with Phaius maculatus, so that the record, ‘‘ com- 
Municated, in 1820, from Trinidad,” is probably erroneous ; and Gongora 
Speciosa (t. 2755), which afterwards became the type of the genus Coryanthes. 
Its history is given in the following interesting note:—‘‘ There are two 
Collections in this country that are pre-eminently rich in the plants of Brazil, 
that of Mrs. Arnold Harrison, and of Richard Harrison, Esq., both of
