Colombia; and is also found in precipitous 
places about Muna and Chincao, and in the 
woods of Tarma, in Peru. 
Ania Bicornis, Lindley. (Two-horned 
Ania.) — A terrestrial species from Ceylon, 
bloomed by the Rev. J. Clowes. It has long, 
rather narrow leaves, on stalks of consider- 
able length, and bears a tall spike, rather 
thickly set towards the top with flowers, of 
which the sepals and petals are of a brownish 
green, and the lip of a pale lemon-yellow. It 
has no extraordinary beauty to recommend it, 
but will be prized by those who fancy this 
tribe of plants. 
Aspasia Lunata, Lindley. (Crescent- 
lipped Aspasia.) — The sepals and petals of 
the flowers of this plant are yellowish, blotched 
with brown, the lip being large and white, 
stained in the middle with pale purple. It is 
a native of Brazil. 
Bolbophyllum Macranthum, Lindley. 
(Large-flowered Bolbophyllum.) — This plant 
has a procumbent, rooting stem, from which 
at intervals springs up a large leathery oval 
leaf, the stalk of which is thickened at the 
base; from this base the solitary flower rises, 
on a stalk much longer than that of the leaf ; 
the lip is the longest of the segments, and is 
triangular and pointed; the sepals and petals 
are also of the same shape, but the two upper- 
most ones stand erect and curve towards each 
other, whilst the two others stand out at 
nearly right angles from the rest; they are 
yellowish in the centre, and dull purple spotted 
with brown towards the extremities. It is a 
native of Singapore. 
Bolbophyllum YiLEATVM,Lindley. (Capped 
Bolbophyllum.) — Also a native of Singapore. 
It is one of the smaller and less interesting of 
this tribe of plants. The flowers are yellow 
ochre coloured, with the lip stained with two 
purple ridges near its base. 
Brassia Clowesii, Lindley. (Mr. Clowes' 
Brassia.) — This is a very handsome plant. It 
is pseudo-bulbous, with narrow sword-shaped 
leaves, and loose panicles of large and gay- 
coloured flowers. These consist of five nar- 
row-pointed spreading sepals and petals, of a 
deep orange colour, with transverse bands of 
rich red brown, and a lip broadly heart-shaped 
at the point, and nearly white, then suddenly 
contracted, and again widened, so as to form 
another heart-shaped portion at the base, 
which is of a deep rich purple. It is a native 
of the Organ mountains of Brazil. 
Catasetum Naso, Lindley. (Snout-flowered 
Catasetum.) — This is one of the singular 
kinds, with club-like stems, and hood-like 
flowers : the sepals and petals, instead of the 
usual dull green or yellow which prevails in 
the genus, are nearly white ; and the lip, 
which terminates in a long snout, not alto- 
gether unlike the head and trunk of an 
elephant, is of a very dark colour. From the 
curious structure of the flowers, it deserves a 
place among its allies in the collections of the 
curious. It was introduced from Colombia. 
C(ELOGYNE Fuscescens, Lindley. ( Brown- 
ish-spotted Coelogyne). — A very rare pseudo- 
bulbous species. Its blossoms, though large, 
are far from brilliant, or this would be one of 
the handsomest species of the genus : they are 
of a pale greenish yellow, with a few brown 
spots on the lip, and a band on the two side 
lobes of the flowers. 
Comparettia Falcata, Poppig. (Sickle- 
leaved Comparettia.) — Much resembles C. 
Rosea, but has broader and larger leaves : it 
bears long drooping racemes of flowers, of a 
rosy purple, the lip being reticulated with 
veins of a deeper tint. It was introduced by 
Messrs. Loddiges, from the neighbourhood of 
the river Polochica, and succeeds best when 
grown in a cool stove. 
Dendrobium Chlorops, Lindley. (Green- 
lipped Dendrobium.) — The flowers of this 
species are small, and of a pale nankeen colour, 
the base of the lip being pea-green. It is 
cultivated by Messrs. Loddiges. 
Dendrobium Criniferum, Lindley. (Hairy- 
lipped Dendrobium.) — A Ceylon species, with 
small yellowish flowers of little beauty. It 
is allied to D. Scopa. 
Dendrobium Kingianum, Bidwill. (Mr. 
King's Dendrobium.) — This plant has pseudo- 
bulbs, four or five inches long, tapering into a 
long narrow neck ; on the top of this, two 
oblong dark green wavy leaves are situated, 
and between these rises the flower stalk, 
having about two rosy flowers gaily spotted 
inside with crimson. The flowers being 
freely produced, render it a very handsome 
plant. It is a native of New Holland. 
Dendrobium Secundum, var. (One-sided- 
racemed Dendrobium.) — Sent from China by 
the collector of the Horticultural Society. 
The plant produces small dense spikes of small 
flowers, all arranged on one side, and the 
present variety differs from the species in the 
rich, deep, rosy purple colour of the flowers, 
with which those of the original kind bear 
no comparison. 
Epidendrum Aeridiforme, Booth. (Aeri- 
des-like Epidendrum.) — This species in habit 
and mode of growth has some resemblance 
both to E. Natans and E. Patens. It was 
introduced from Rio in 1839, to the collection 
of Sir C. Lemon, Bart. M.P., at Carclew, and 
flowered there in December 1843, and about 
the same time the following year. The leaves 
are from six to eight inches long, and 
from an inch to an inch and a half wide, 
clasping the stem at the base: the stem is 
terminated by the loose panicle of eight or
