of Roxburgh, and it has since proved to be a native of China. It is now 
known as D. Loddigesii. 
Cycnoches Loddigesii (t.2000) was described as follows :—‘‘ This extra- 
ordinary plant is a native of Surinam : it was sent to us in 1830, by our kind 
friend Mr. Lance, and it flowered in May, and again in the winter of 1832. 
We have preserved it in the stove, suspended from a rafter, and planted in 
moss and broken bits of pots; but it has not yet increased.” It may be added 
that the name was given by Lindley, who described the genus from this 
very plant. This plate concluded the work, it being remarked that the 
artist’s health prevented it being carried on further. 
Our last paper brought us down to 1832, in which year Mr. Cattley 
died, and his collection passed into the hands of Mr. Knight, of Chelsea. 
Orchids were steadily growing in popularity, and it may be remarked that, 
in 1833, that young enthusiast, Mr. James Bateman, sent Mr. Colley to 
Demerara to collect these plants, with what results we have already seen 
(Orch. Rev., vi., pp- 11-12). : 
The novelties of 1833 were not very striking from a horticultural stand- 
point, and the majority were Brazilian, sent from Rio de Janeiro by Mr. 
William Harrison. : 4 
First we may mention the pretty little Leptotes bicolor (Bot. Reg., 
t. 1625), the type of a new genus. Lindley remarked :—‘‘ It is to Mrs. 
Arnold Harrison that we are obliged for this pretty little plant, which 
flowered in her stove in April last. It is a native of the Organ Mountains 
of Brazil.” 
Cyrtochilum flavescens (t. 1627) is said to have flowered for the first 
time in the collection of Richard Harrison, Esq., of Aigburth, who com- 
municated a specimen, together with a sketch from the pencil of Mr. Arnold 
Harrison. An additional note, to the effect that itis “a native of Mexico, 
~ whence it was imported by Mr. Tate about three years ago,” is evidently 
erroneous, for the plant is now well-known to be Brazilian. It is now known — 
as Miltonia flavescens. 
Epidendrum oncidioides (t. 1623) was another Brazilian species from the 
collection of Richard Harrison, Esq., also accompanied by a sketch from 
Mrs. Arnold Harrison. | 
Gongora maculata (t. 1616) was also from the same collection, and it is 
stated that it was “ originally introduced from Demerara, 1832, by Mr- 
Thomas Moss, of Otterspool. It flowered in the hothouse in May; its 
bunches of flowers were two and a half feet long, and hung down grace- 
fully from the pot in which the plant was suspended.” Lindley added the 
following interesting note :— Many a strange figure has been met with 
among Orchideous plants, and numerous are the animal forms which 
botanists have fancied they could recognize among their singular flowers.
