NEW ORCHIDACEOUS PLANTS. 
313 
species ; in the other, they are much paler 
than in the species. They have been im- 
ported from Java ; and bloom in the spring. 
Dendrobiuji anosjiuji, Lindley. (Scent- 
less Dendrobe.) — This is perhaps only a 
variety of the handsome D. maavphyllum. 
Its flowers are smaller, and shorter, and 
broader in all their parts ; even, and not un- 
dulating ; scentless, and consequently free 
from the strong odour of rhubarb, which 
renders the flowers of D. macraphyllum 
somewhat disagreeable to the olfactory nerves. 
It is from the Philippine Islands, and was 
introduced thence by Messrs. Loddiges, in 
1840. It is new. 
Dendrobiuji aduncum, Wallich. (Hooked 
Dendrobe.) — A very pretty little stove spe- 
cies, with pendent stems and short racemes 
of three or four small delicate pink flowers, 
which open in July. Its half-transparent 
flowers, of the most delicate texture, and of 
the clearest tints, are very pretty. Nothing 
is known of its history ; it is fig. in Bot. Reg. 
1846, t. 15, and is new. 
Dendrobiuji fijibriatum, var. oculatum. 
(Dark-eyed variety of the Friuge-lipped Den- 
drobe.) — This is a truly splendid plant ; it has 
stems a foot and a half long, from which the 
racemes of six or seven large and handsome 
golden flowers are produced. This variety is 
rendered conspicuous by the dark blood- 
coloured spot on the lip, which contrasts well 
with the bright gold colour of the other parts 
of the flower. It is from Nepal. Fig. in Bot. 
Mag. t. 4160. 
Dendrobiuji Kingianuji, Bidwill. (Capt. 
King's Dendrobe.) — This is one of the smaller 
Dendrobia, the plant not being above six 
or eight inches high. It is nevertheless 
exceedingly pretty, producing an elongated 
pseudo-bulbous stem, with a few leathery ellip- 
tic oblong leaves at the top, terminated by a 
spreading spike of three or four pinkish rose- 
coloured flowers, in shape a good deal like a 
Larkspur. It is from New Holland ; the early 
part of the spring appears to be the usual sea- 
son of flowering. Fig. in Bot. Beg. 1845, t. 61. 
Dendrobiuji scticeninuji, Lindley: (Fluted 
Dendrobe.) — This is a curious little stove or 
green-house epiphyte, with slender-jointed 
stems, terete fluted leaves, and solitary white 
flowers, the lip three-lobed, and edged with 
crimson. In its growth it resembles a little 
Bamboo ; it is often erroneously called D. 
canaliculatum ; it was received from New 
Holland by Messrs. Loddiges, and is new to 
our gardens. 
Epidendruji dipus, Lindley. (Two-footed 
Epidendrum.) — A species of no great beauty, 
imported by Messrs. Loddiges from Brazil, 
and bearing densely clustered drooping pani- 
cles of small sweet-scented flowers, green, 
brown, and white. Fig. in Bot. Rg. 1845, 
t. 4. 
Epidendrum njevosuji, Lindley. (Freckled 
Epidendrum.) — A pretty little stove epiphyte, 
with oval pseudo-bulbs and lanceolate leathery 
leaves, about three inches long; the scape is 
erect, bearing a drooping raceme of flowers, 
which continue in bloom upwards of two 
months ; the sepals and petals are white, the 
lip yellow, with numerous purple freckles. It 
was received from Oaxaca by Mrs. Lawrence, 
and is quite new. 
Epidendruji ktsyvm, Lindley. (Rufous Epi- 
dendrum.) — This is allied to E.Jlavum; it 
has large pear-shaped pseudo-bulbs, from the 
top of which the flower-scape, eighteen inches 
high, proceeds, bearing a profusion of brown- 
ish yellow flowers in a loose panicle. It is 
from Rio, whence it was sent to the garden 
of Sir C. Lemon, of Carclew. 
Epidendruji jiarginatuji,Zto/i', etc. — This 
is the Ep. radiatum of the Bot. Reg. 
Epidendruji Lindenii, Lindley. (Linden's 
Epidendrum.)— A beautiful Orchid, discovered 
in rocks near Merida by Mr. Linden. It has 
a simple upright stem, with oval obtuse leaves, 
and the flowers in an oblong raceme. The 
sepals and petals are of a dull but pleasing 
salmon-colour, and the whole centre rose- 
coloured. Mr. Linden found three distinct 
varieties ; in one the flowers were bright car- 
mine, in another rose-coloured, and in the 
other of a yellowish orange. It is a handsome 
new species. 
Eria Dili/wtnji, Hooker. (Dilhvyn 
Llewelyn's Eria.) — This is a pseudo-bulbous 
species, of moderate sized growth, with about 
four oblong obtuse leaves, and spike-like up- 
right racemes of flowers, remarkable for 
having the stem numerously furnished with 
obtuse reflexed pale-coloured bracteas through- 
out its whole length. The flowers are small, 
greenish white, or cream-coloured, not very 
showy, although, from their being numerously 
produced, the plant is worth cultivating. It 
is from the Philippine Islands, whence it was 
sent by Mr. Cuming to D. Llewelyn, Esq. 
of Penllergare. Fig. in Bot. Mag. t. 4163. 
It is new. 
Gongora truncata, Lindley. (Dean-bud- 
ded Gongora.) — A handsome pseudo-bulbous 
species, producing long drooping spikes, beset, 
as if by insects, with pale straw-coloured flow- 
ers, with some brownish purple specks and a 
clear yellow lip. Before they open, the buds are 
of the shape of a bean ; it has a peculiar but 
not pleasant scent ; it is a native of Mexico ; it 
is probably the same plant as G. GaUottiana, 
and is new to oar gardens. Fig. in Bot. 
Reg. 1845, t. 5G. 
Govenia utkhtt.ata, Lindley. (Bladdery 
Govenia.) — One of the terrestrial Orchids.
