XXXVI. Angraecum luridum. 



Limodorum luridum. Afzelius. 

 Plants sent to the Society from Sierra Leone, by Mr. 

 George Don in 1822, produced sufficient flowers to enable 

 me to identify them with the Limodorum luridum of Afze- 

 lius, and to ascertain that that species belongs to the genus 

 Angraecum. The plants arrived in a sickly state, but are now 

 recovering in the stove from the effects of the voyage. 



XXXVII. Eulophia Guineensis. Brown. 



XXXVIII. Eulophia gracilis. Lindley. 



Both these species, which are inmates of the stove, have 

 been figured in the Botanical Register from the Garden of 

 the Society, the first at tab. 682, the other at tab. 742. 

 E. Guineensis is a plant with spikes of middle-sized white 

 flowers, tinged with pink, rather difficult to cultivate, but 

 flowers readily. E. gracilis, on the contrary, has long spikes 

 of greenish flowers, grows very freely, blossoms in abundance, 

 and is easily propagated. They were both sent to the Society 

 by Mr. George Don, from Sierra Leone, in 1822. 



BULBOUS PLANTS. 

 XXXIX. Ornithogalum corymbosum. Ruiz and Pavon. 

 A bulb from Chili, which proved, upon flowering, to be the 

 species described and figured under this name in the Flora 

 Peruviana. It is very like O. Arabkum, of which it is, perhaps, 

 a mere variety ; remarkable, however, for being a native of a 

 country far distant from any in which O. Arabicum has yet 

 been found. That it is wild in Chili cannot be doubted, both 

 from the bulbs in question having been sent with other wild
