twisted, brownish, with yellow ; the lip of a deep crimson, 

 with a narrow edge of white. It produces its blossoms in 

 May and June, lasting three weeks in beauty. 



Tri. suavis, — This is also a new species, and very 

 handsome ; grows in the way of Odontoglossum grande ; 

 the bulbs and leaves greatly resemble that plant. The 

 flowers are white spotted with pink. It blooms in March 

 or April, lasting about two weeks in perfection. 



Tri. tortilis. — A fine species from Mexico. The sepals 

 and petals are twisted like a corkscrew ; they are brown 

 and pale yellow ; the lip white spotted with red. It pro-

 lasts two or three weeks in beauty. There are two 

 varieties of the plant, one with much brighter coloured 

 flowers than the other. 



UROPEDIUM. 



Uropedium Lindenii. — A curious new Orchid. I have

 the upright spikes, all of which bear large waxy flowers,
