A very graceful, though minute plant, belonging to the fa- 
mily of Orchidece, and blossoming in the stove, when treated 
in the same manner with other parasitics, in the month of No- 
vember. It is a native of Jamaica, and has been long known 
in our gardens. Sir J. E. Smith having given an excellent fi- 
gure and description of it from an individual that flowered at 
White Knights, in the possession of the Marquis of Bland- 
ford, nearly twenty years ago. 
The Stetis ophioglossoides of Loddiges's Botanical Ca- 
binet, t. 442. appears to me hardly distinguishable from this 
species, except by its large and brown flowers.
