Maxillaria.-] ORCHIDACEiE LINDENIAN^. 21 



lutis obtusis suprema ovario longiore, sepalis linearibus caudatis 

 petalisque brevioribus acuminatissimis, labello oblongo undulato trilobo 

 lacinia intermedia majore cochleata appendice acuta canaliculata. 



"An epiphyte, with oval, compressed pseudo-bvlbs, and a reddish flower. 

 Forests of Merida, at the height of ^QO feet; July." {No.—). 



Scape six inches high ; sepals three inches long ; leaves three- 

 quarters of an inch broad. 



LYCASTE, Lindl. 



108. L. fuhescens ; (Hooker in Bot. Mag. t. 4193). 



Not in the herbarium. This is labelled ¥<»^illaria Barringtonise in 

 some gardens, and also bears the nam ' Lycaste crocea, which 

 I called it before it was pubhshed in t ,. Botanical Magazine. 



109. L. gigantea; (Lindl. in Benth. Plant. Hartweg. p. 153). 



"Pseudo-bulbs very strong. Petals golden yellow; lip red. Forests of 

 Merida, at the height of 5000 to 6000 feet; August." {No. 663). 



This seems to be a variety differing in the colour, and larger size of 

 the flowers. 



ANGULOA, Bui^ and Pavon. 



110. A. Clowesii; (Lindl. in Bot. Reg., 1844 ; misc. 29. t. 63). 



" In low bottoms, in tlie midst offwesU, near the Indian village Jaji, growing 

 on the ground.'" Found only in one spot in the province of Merida, at 

 the height of 5600 feet; flowering in August, 1842." {No. 622). 



111. A. unifiora; (FL Peruv. Syst. p. 228, Bot. Reg., 1844 ; 

 t. 60). 



My specimen of this plant, from Mr. Linden, has no number, and is 

 marked as found May, 1844, in Cuba, on the Sierra Maestre, 

 "Both epiphyte and terrestrial. Petals dirty yellow; lip 

 whitish." But there must, in this case, be some error in the 

 ticketing, for it flowered in April, 1844, with Mr. Barker, of 

 Birmingham, just one month earlier than the date of this ticket. 

 It is no doubt Colombian. 



112. A. Euckeri; (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1846, t. 41). 



No specimen of this noble species exists in Mr. Linden's herbarium. 

 My knowledge of its being one of his discoveries is derived from 

 the plant which flowered with Mr. Rucker.
