5 
specimens from Mr. Skinner. The flowers are very pale 
green, almost white, with no spots or stains upon them. It 
has not much beauty. It is near E. tripunctatum. A very 
singular feature in it is the presence of one or two fine pointed 
horns on the anther on each side, which give it, when seen 
in front, the appearance of some insect’s head. 
5. CLEISO STOMA dealbatum. 
C. dealbatum; foliis linearibus canaliculatis carnosis dealbatis, spicis sim- 
plicibus glaucis, sepalis petalisque rotundatis, labelli calcare ovato emar- 
ginato lobis lateralibus acutis intermedio ovato carnoso multo majore 
incurvo, column® dente bilobo. 
An Orchidaceous plant of little beauty, obtained from 
Manilla by Messrs. Loddiges, through Mr. Cuming. The 
flowers before they expand are almost white, when open they 
are bright yellow, with a white lip ; but they are too small 
to produce much appearance. 
6. DENDROBIUM aqueuin. 
D. aqueum , (§ foliis planis, floribus gemellis, labello trilobo) foliis ovato- 
oblongis undulatis acuminatis, floribus patulis cornu brevi obtuso, sepalis 
petalisque ovatis, labelli trilobi pubescentis lacinia media ovata denticu- 
lata basi alte excavata lateralibus latioribus rotundatis margine anteriore 
serrulato. 
A native of Bombay, whence it was imported by Messrs. 
Loddiges, with whom it flowered in November, 1842. The 
habit is that of D. Pierardi : the flowers are rather larger, 
and of a pale watery green colour. 
7. PLEUROTHALLIS foe tens. 
P . /ceteris ; folio ovali coriaceo subtus concolori cauli carinato triquetro 
sequali, spatha univalvi acuta coriacea striata pauciflora, floribus sub- 
sessilibus tomentosis coriaceis, sepalis oblongis convexis subsequalibus 
intus papillosis lateralibus connatis, petalis oblongis acutis glabiis denti- 
culatis subdiaphanis, labello lineari-oblongo obtuso lsevi lineis duabus 
elevatis carnosis basi excavato. 
A species very near the Mexican P . aphthosa , with an 
unpleasant odour. It has no beauty, and is a native of 
Brazil, whence it was obtained by Messrs. Loddiges. The 
leaves are rather narrower than in P. aphthosa, and green 
not purple underneath.
