sepalis oblongis undulatis patentibus apice recurvis basi intus pilosis, 
petalis erectis columna longioribus oblongis carnosis apice recurvis mar- 
gine postico versus apicem sublobato, labello breviore oblongo concavo 
apice trilobo : lacinia intermedia subrotunda crenata pilosa, appendice 
linguseformi concavo adnato inter lacinias laterales rotundatas incurvas, 
anthera villosa. Peru. Flowers greenish, with a little purple on 
the lip. According to Poppig it inhabits dry thickets. 
2. L .plana (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1842. misc. 96.); bractea suprema ventri- 
cosa cucullata ovario longiore, sepalis oblongis planis basi in cornu brevi 
conico connatis, petalis conformibus apice tantum recurvis, labelli tri- 
lobi lobis lateralibus apice crenulatis intermedio subrotundo serrato callo 
elevato obtuso obsolete trilobo, columna pubescente, anthera villosa. 
Peru. Nearly allied to Lycaste macrophylla, of which it has 
quite the habit. It differs in the petals being quite even not undulated, 
and in the lateral sepals being much more exactly oblong ; the tubercle 
on the lip is also much more obtuse. In colour too they are different. 
L. macrophylla has olive-green sepals, and petals almost colourless. L. 
plana has the sepals a deep rich madder-red inside, and the petals are 
richly tipped with crimson. 
3. L. costata (Maxill. costata, Bot. Reg. 1838. misc. 175.); bractea herbacea 
cucullata acuta ovario multo longiore, sepalis petalisque M. macrophyllae 
similibus, labello trilobo concavo lacinia intermedia rotundata serrata, 
appendice carnoso emarginato adnato 5-costato inter lacinias laterales, 
anthera glabra. Peru. Quite with the habit of L. macrophylla, 
but certainly distinct in the foregoing characters. Its colours are 
unknown. 
4. L. lanipes ; bractea obtusa cucullata ovarii longitudine, sepalis petalisque 
oblongis elongatis, labelli laevis lobis lateralibus ovatis obtusis brevibus 
intermedio oblongo obtuso basi serrato, tuberculo obtuso concavo costato 
glabro, columnsepede villoso. Guayaquil. Found by Mr. Hartweg 
at Paccha, a village on the Andes, in the vicinity of Loxa, and sent to 
the Horticultural Society. It has pale green flowers, two inches and a 
half long before they expand, without a trace of any other colour. It 
differs from L. costata in the flowers being much larger, while the bract 
is not longer than the ovary ; and from L. gigantea in the very short 
bract, ribbed tubercle, and rounded not acuminate middle segment of 
the lip. 
5. L. yiyanlea ; bractea, herbacea sepalis subtequali, sepalis oblongo-lanceo- 
latis lateralibus falcatis, petalis conformibus paulo minoribus, labello 
lanceolato acuminato laciniis lateralibus acutis intermedia ovata acumi- 
nata serrata, appendice carnoso emarginato. Guayaquil. Flower- 
ing stem more than two feet high. Sepals full three inches long ; green 
according to Hartweg. 
6. L. Deppii (Maxill. Deppii, Lodd.Bot. Cab. t. 1612. L. no. 24.); scapo 
foliis breviore: vaginis ventricosis acuminatis, sepalis oblongo -lanceolatis 
patentissimis, petalis minoribus oblongis undulatis conniventibus, labello 
cucullato 3-lobo apice recurvo in axi calloso margine piloso subcrenato : 
laciniis lateralibus rotundatis intermedia oblonga obtusa, callo elevato 
ovato. Mexico. Sepals green and chocolate. Petals white. Lip 
yellow. 
7. L. Skinneri (Maxill. Skinneri, Bateman in Bot. Reg. 1842, misc. 13.); 
bractea herbacea acuta cucullata ovario multo longiore, sepalis patentibus 
oblongo-lanceolatis acutis, petalis 2-plo brevioribus ovalibus erectis supra
