This species of Ornithidiam flowered with Mr. F. W. Moore, A.L.S., 
at Glasnevin, in March 1 3, and in the collection of Sir Trevor 
Co., of St. Albans. It is allied to the Mexican Ornithidium densum, 
Rchb. f., bie has far more numerous flowers, of about a third the 
size, much more compressed pseudobulbs, and longer leaves. The 
flowers are whitish, faintly suffused with mauve- purple, and the front 
lobe of the lip dull mauve-purple. The flowers are fragrant, something 
like heliotrope.
