MAXILLARIA. 511 



the erect ovateioblong leaves are also dark green, and about a foot long ; 

 the flowers are produced singly on bracteate scapes about 6 inches in length ; 

 the lateral sepals having a spread of about 3^ inches ; the oblong-acute sepals 

 and shorter petals are pure white, the lip pouched, dark purple at the sides, the 

 triangular middle lobe yellow in front, white towards the base. A very desirable 

 plant, blooming during autumn, the flowers deliciously fragrant. This fine 

 plant enjoys a very cool atmosphere ; indeed, to succeed with it, the coolest end 

 of the Odonioglossum house should be selected for its reception, and the 

 atmosphere kept very moist. — Feru ; U. S. of Colombia.

M. HUBSCHII, Bohl. /.—While collecting for Messrs. Sander & Co., Mr. 

 Hiibsch discovered this fine new Maxillaria, and it was deservedly dedicated to 

 him by the late Professor Eeichenbach, who thus describes it : — " The plant is 

 quite like that of M. fucata; the peduncle has a few inflated sheaths ; bracts 

 shorter than the ovary ; lateral sepals much rounded ; petals linear, rhombic, 

 acute ; lip transverse, rhombic ; there is a transverse yellow emarginate 

 callus on the disk, and strigose hairs behind ; flowers white, as large as those 

 of Masdevallia molifor; lip with mauve-purple margin inside, and two blotches 

 of that colour and a few purple dots at the base outside ; column white, with 

 nearly parallel mauve stripes in front " {Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd ser., 1888, iii. 

 p. 136). It flowered in the collection of E. H. Measures, Esq., Woodlands,
