 to E. stellatum, Lindl. The flowers are very fragrant ; the sepals and petals 

 light green, and the lip deep purple, with light green margin. It is named in 

 compliment to Mr. F. W. Moore, of Glasnevin, who first sent it to Kew"

E. MYR\MTH\JM, Lindl. — A charming plant of a "most brilliant" character, 

 very rare in cultivation. It has tall but graceful stems growing about 3 feet 

 high, and clothed with long linear-lanceolate distichous leaves, the sheathing 

 bases of which are marked by black dots ; above the leaves is borne a magnificent 

 pyramidal compound panicle of small but very numerous flowers, which are of 

 a nearly uniform ruby-red. It flowers in June, and continues long in beauty. 

 It will not bloom if subjected to much heat; the cool house, therefore, will suit 

 it best. — Mountains of Ouatemala.

 1 foot long, of a light green colour, and from between them a stout warty 

 peduncle 3 feet long, supporting an ample drooping panicle of flowers which are 

 individually 4 inches across, and, when expanded, have a remarkably handsome 

 appearance. It makes a fine exhibition plant, on account of its being well 

 adapted for travelling, and from its distinct and pleasing colour. The sepals 

 and petals are linear-lanceolate acuminate, of a delicate rosy-mauve, the three- 

 lobed lip having the middle lobe oval crenulate, white in the centre, with three 

 short red lines, and bordered with deep rose. There are several varieties of this
