the other, perhaps not perfect, was ovate, and appeared deeply cleft, al- 
most to the base, into two lobes, yellow : Stigma concave, placed just be- 
low the anther. Germen almost cylindrical, sulcated, curved at the top. 
A native of trunks of trees in Jamaica, and first made 
known to the scientific world by Sir J. E. Smith in his Icones 
Pictce, from a plant which blossomed in the garden of the Ho- 
nourable Mrs Bauiiington at Mongewell, where it flowered 
in 1791. During the next year, the same species bloomed at 
Chelsea. But it seems to be rare in our gardens, and no figure 
of it has ever appeared in any of our more popular botanical 
publications. 
The plant from which the present drawing was taken, was 
imported from Jamaica by Messrs Shepherd five or six years 
ago, and flowered in the stove of the Botanic Garden at Liver- 
pool in April 1824. It is obviously allied to the Dendrohium 
Harrisonice of this work, although differing from it in many 
important points. 
Not having the opportunity of referring to Smith's Icones 
Picice, I rely upon my friend Mr H. Shefherd, for the ob- 
servation that it agrees with the figure there referred to, in al- 
most every respect, except that the bulb is not in that repre- 
presented as quadrangular, as it really is in the present species, 
and the lip is more coloured.
