NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 
THE GESNERIA TRIBE (Gesneriaceas.) 
Drymonia bicolor. Two-coloured Woodwort. A West-Indian plant, of 
easy growth, in loam and vegetable mould in a moist stove, where it fixes itself 
upon the wall in great luxuriance. It is not a showy plant; the flowers are of 
the shape of those of a Gloxinia, and of a light colour. It does well in the atmo- 
sphere of an orchicleous house, where it spreads with the rapidity of ivy on the 
open wall. Bot. Reg. for January, New Series, 4. 
CLASS II. — PLANTS WITH ONE COTYLEDON (MONOCOTYLEDONE^.) 
THE ORCHIS TRIBE (Orchidece). 
Maxillaria aurea-fulva. Golden-brown Maxillaria. This is certainly an 
interesting addition to the genus Maxillaria, the flowers having much of the colour 
and appearance of those of Trigonidium obtusum, except that the orange of the 
former is brighter. The plant seems to have much the appearance of M. racemosus. 
Bot. Mag. for January, 3629. 
Epidendrum papillosum. Warty-fruited Epidendrum. A rich addition to 
the already many fine species of Epidendrum, remarkable for its warty fruit and 
very pretty flowers. It was discovered by Mr. Skinner. The bulbs are broadly 
ovate, dark-green, the scape rises one foot long, bearing a terminal raceme of eight 
or ten rather distant flowers. The sepals and petals are a yellowish green, the 
column is tipped with orange, and the lip is white with three deep pink streaks. 
It is of easy culture. Bot. Mag. for January, 3631. 
Cattleya Perrinii. Mr. Perrln's Cattleya. This species is a native of 
Brazil, and is not unlike C. labiata, although inferior to it in beauty. The species 
has been named after Mr. Perrin, Mr. Harrison's (Aigburgh) intelligent gardener, 
under whose care so many fine South American Epiphytes have been for the first 
time brought into flower in this country. For culture, &c, see the account 
accompanying the plate of C. crispa in the present number of this magazine. Bot. 
Reg. for January, New Series, 2. 
Stanhopea quadricornxs. Four-horned Stanhopea. An exceedingly pretty 
species of Stanhopea, allied to S. oculata, from which it differs very obviously in 
the general want of spotting upon the flower, and especially in the two short horns 
which project from the crimson base of the lip. In some circumstances it also 
approaches S. insignis, especially in the colour and form of the sepals and petals, 
but the lip is altogether different. It was received by Sigismund Rucker j unior, 
of Wandsworth, from the Spanish Main, who describes the pseudo-bulbs and leaves 
as extremely like those of S. grandiflora. Bot. Reg. for January, New Series, 5.
