THE ORCHID REVIEW. 71 
In 1831 Cattleya guttata flowered at Chiswick for the first time, and | 
was figured in the Botanical Register (t. 1406). It had been sent from Brazil 
by the Right Hon. Robert Gordon. 
Lycaste tetragona also appeared, being then described and figured under 
the name of Maxillaria tetragona (Bot. Reg., t. 1428). It was imported 
from Rio de Janeiro by the Horticultural Society, in whose collection at 
Chiswick it flowered in June, 1830. 
The most interesting. novelty, however, of the year 1831 was Peristeria 
elata, which flowered in the collection of Richard Harrison, Esq., of Liver- 
pool, and was figured in the Botanical Magazine (t. 31 16). Its history was 
given at page 277 of our last volume. 
The genus Coryanthes was also described from a plant which flowered 
in the Liverpool Botanic Garden, and which had been sent from Demerara 
by James Ankers, Esq. It was called C. maculata (Bot. Mag., t. 3102). 
Another species was, however, already in cultivation, under the name 
of Gongora speciosa, and was now transferred to Coryanthes, as C. 
speciosa. 
Oncidium bicornutum was also described and figured (Bot. Mag., 
t. 3109). It flowered in the collection of Mrs. Arnold Harrison, who 
had recéived it from her brother at Rio de Janerio. 
Two species of the Australian genus Pterostylis were also figured in the 
Botanical Magazine, both having been communicated from Kew, where they 
had flowered. They were P. nutans (t. 3085), and P. curta (t. 3086). 
In 1832 Stanhopea eburnea appeared, and was figured in the Botanical 
Register (t. 1529). Lindley remarked:—“ We are indebted for our ‘now: 
ledge of this noble epiphyte to James Bateman, Esq., who most obligingly 
sent us specimens from his rich collection of Orchideous plants at Knypers- 
ley Hall, near Congleton, in July last. It was introduced from Rio de 
Janeiro by Messrs. Loddiges, and Mr. Bateman remarked that one scape 
was broken off, and the other only preserved froma similar fate by breaking 
an opening through the sides of the pot. This seems to have been the 
first plant figured from a collection which afterwards became one of the 
most famous in the annals of Orchidology.” 
Angrzecum superbum also now appeared, but wa 
allied A. eburneum, and figured under the latter name (Bot. Reg., t. 522). 
It was introduced from Madagascar by “the unfortunate Forbes,” and 
flowered in the collection of the Horticultural Society in the November 
Pr€vious, nee 
Other interesting introductions of the year were Brassavola Perrinti 
(Bot. Reg., t. 1561), a Brazilian plant from the collection of Mrs. Arnold 
Harrison, after whose gardener, Perrin, it was named ; Nanodes discolor 
(Lc., t. 1541), a native of Rio de Janeiro, which flowered in the collection
