16. LAELIA albida. 
A beautiful variety of this, with a violet lip, painted at 
the base with purple veins, has flowered with Mrs. Lawrence 
at Ealing Park. 
17. TRICHOCENTRUM recbrvum. 
T. recurvum ; bracteis distichis cucullatis ovatis acutis, sepalis petalisque 
ovatis acutis, labello oblongo basi purpureo bidentato, calcare recurvo 
ovarii longitudine, columnse alis cuneatis denticulatis, anthera pubescente. 
A Guayana plant, imported by Messrs. Loddiges. It 
resembles Tr. fuscum in habit, but is smaller. The lip is 
white, with a deep purple spot at its base; afterwards it 
changes to pure yellow. The spur is long, and curved back- 
wards and upwards, so as to arch over the back of the flower. 
18. TRICHOCENTRUM candidum. 
T. candidum ; bracteis ovatis acutis, sepalis petalisque ovatis acutis, labello 
oblongo emarginato basi obsolete bidentato ecalcarato gibboso, columnse 
alis ovatis acutis, anthera villosa. 
A little Guatemala plant, with white flowers, slightly 
tinged with yellow. It is remarkable for the want of a spur, 
whose place is supplied by a short projection. 
19. ODONTOGLOSSUM Rossii. 
Lindley in Bot. Reg. 1839. t. 48. 
A pretty variety of this charming plant has flowered with 
Mr. Barker. It has narrower and darker coloured sepals, 
smaller flowers, and the callus at the base of the lip white, not 
yellow. It seems almost intermediate between O. Rossii and 
O. stellatum ; especially as the lip is rather more ovate than 
in the former species. 
20. EPIDENDRUM rubrocinctum. 
E (Spathium) rubrocinctum ; panicula ampla cernua, sepalis ob- 
longis concavis acutis coriaceis, petalis anguste linearibus, labello trans- 
verso cordato trilobo supra tricarinato ; lobi medii trilobi dente inter- 
medio minuto, columna inappendiculata. 
Of this I know no more than that it is a plant with the 
B — 1843 .
