villous, and equally convex, not divided into equal quarters. The lateral lobes of 

 the lip are also crisp in this species, and not plain as in 0. divaricatiim. 



It is a native of Rio Janeiro, whence it was sent to Mr. Richard Harrison of 

 Aighburg, in the year 1834, by his brother, Mr. William Harrison. It requires 

 different treatment from the others. Bot. Reg.

 t. 44. This is a sweet-scented Epiphyte obtained from Brazil, by Messrs. 

 Loddiges, with whom it flowered in May, 1838. Its flowers are yellow spotted 

 with cinnamon colour, and the labellum is stated to be white at the base. The 

 horns, on each side the apex of the column, are of a crimson colour. 



This species is said to decide the point of the propriety of the separation of

CALENDAR, OF GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. 

 Early in the month finish shifting greenhouse-plants. 



Frequently reset greenhouse-plants placed out of doors, to prevent their getting 

 rooted in the ground : otherwise they will receive a check upon being placed in 

 the houses for the winter, which should be done sometime from the beginning to 

 the end of the month, according to the state of the weather. 



Camellias that have been placed, out of doors should, be housed early in the 

 month, otherwise many of their leaves will get yellow and unsightly. 



Chrysanthemums, where there is convenience of early vineries or cold pits, 

 should also be housed early in the month, so as to retain their foliage in good 

 condition. 



Saxifrages should now be re-potted in order to get good flowering plants for 

 the next season. 



Layers of hardy Ericas, that are rooted, should now be taken off and trans- 

 planted. 



Attentively examine the capsules of Balsams for seed ; as the capsules burst 

 and disperse them as soon as they are ripe. 



Pink Pipings should now be transplanted into store beds, or flowering beds, 

 according to the strength of the plants. 



Dahlias will require much care this month in staking and tying up. The 

 flowers should also be shaded from the sun when fine flowers are wanted. 



Layers of Carnations, Picotees, Jand Cloves, should now be taken off and 

 planted into pots. 



Sow Californian and other annuals, that are hardy enough to endure our 

 winter, for early planting next season ; also collect seeds of annuals and other 

 plants as they ripen. 



Put in cuttings of such Ericas and Epacrises as are most difficult to root, 

 choosing cuttings of fine wood, and they will be rooted by next spring.
