Sarcochilus parviflorus. Lindl. Small-flowered Sarcochilus. Bot. Reg. 

 N. S. p. 34. This species is of no beauty. The flowers are green with a few 

 spots of dull purple in the sepals. The labellum is less green beneath, almost 

 white, banded with dull purple, articulated with the column, and covered over 

 in the inside with various crowded tubercles, of which the three largest form a 

 crescent next the apex of the lip. Bot. Reg. 



Oncidium stramineum. Bateman. Straw-coloured Oncidium. Bot. Reg. 

 N. S. p. 39. A beautiful stove Epiphyte, sent from the neighbourhood of Vera 

 Cruz to the Horticultural Society of London by their collector, Mr. Hartwig. 

 It has pale straw-coloured flowers, about as large as those of 0. flexuosum, with 

 a faint smell of primroses. The base of the lower sepals, the lower part of the 

 lip, the column, and the line along the origin of the petals, are neatly dotted 

 with brown. Honey is secreted by the lip at the base of the lateral lobes next 

 the column. The young plants are very like 0. pumilum, but they have much 

 thicker leaves. Bot. Reg.
