Sent by the kindness of Dr Graham, together with a 
beautiful drawing by Dr Greville, and many notes taken 
from the growing plant. The bulbs were procured at Mexico 
by Lord Napier, and by him obligingly communicated to the 
Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, where they blossomed, being 
kept in the stove, in the month of May 1826. 
The flowers having the fragrance of Cinnamon, suggested to 
-Ur Graham the specific name of the plant, which I have here 
adopted. 
There can be no doubt about the genus of this. It cannot 
be separated from Maooillaria; yet the pollen-masses differ re- 
markably from those of the hitherto published species of the 
genus, as characterised by Mr Lindley.
