PINELI A hypolepta. A minute and little-

 It is a tufted epiphyte, only two inches 

 high, the pseudobulbs bearing single 

 fleshy ovate leaves, three-toothed at their 

 apices, and a terminal slender solitary- 

 flowered peduncle clothed with three dis- 

 tant sheaths. The flower is comparatively 

 large, like a miniature Cattleya, but preen, 

 with free spreading petaloid sepals, the la- 

 teral ones unequal at the base, similar but 

 smaller petals, a large undivided lip con- 

 tinuous with and adnate to the base of the 

 column, which is short almost horizontal, 

 and has petaloid edges. [A. S.]

PINGUICULA. A family of small stem- 

 less herbaceous plants belonging to the 

 Lentibulariacece, well marked by bearing 

 close above the root a tuft of spreading 

 leaves, of membranous texture, incurved 

 at the edges, and greasy to the touch. 

 Several species are natives of the British 

 Isles, of which two are common : namely, 

 the Common Butterwort, P. vulgaris, and 

 P. lusitanica. The former sends up from 

 the tuft of leaves several slender leafless 

 stalks six to eight inches high, each bear- 

 ing a solitary drooping violet-purple flower, 

 which is two-lipped and spurred ; it is fre- 

 quent in boggy ground in the North, and 

 is highly ornamental. The latter is a plant 

 of similar habit, but smaller in all its parts, 

 and with pale pink inconspicuous flowers ; 

 this is very frequent in Devonshire and 

 Cornwall, in Ireland, and in the Hebrides. 

 Both systematic aad English names were 

 probably given to these plants from the . 

 unctuous matter found on the leaves, 

 which the ancient herbalists perhaps fan- i 

 cied to have some affinity with butter. The ! 

 leaves are said to coagulate milk ; and ; 

 Gerard tells us that the 'oilous juice' was 

 used in his time, in Yorkshire, to anoint the 

 wounded teats of cows. French, Grassette ; 

 German, Fettkraut. [C. A. J.]
