port in an erect position the filaments, which immediately fall down

This splendid plant flowered in the stove of Professor Dun- 
bar at Edinburgh on the 20th of June of this year (1825), 
when the drawing was made by Dr Greville, and the full 
and accurate description above given was drawn up by Dr 
Graham. It far exceeds the Marica Northiana in the 
beauty of its blossoms : from which species it differs, not only 
in the colour of the flowers, but in the relative number on each 
scape, as well as in the shape and direction of the exterior seg- 
ments of the corolla.
