Sp. 1. Clowesia rosea. 
The account which Mr. Clowes’s gardener gives of the ap- 
pearance of the plant, which I have not yet seen, is this. Pseudo- 
bulb ‘2j inches long, ovate, and tapering to a point, covered 
with a thin brownish white sheathing ; each pseudo-bulb has 
two or three small dark brown bands, which entirely surround 
it, and are apart from each other about half an inch. Leaves 
three, resting on the summit, seven inches long and one 
inch across, lanceolate, ovate, and acuminate, at the point 
twisting a little on one side. Both leaves and pseudo-bulbs 
are in the way of Catasetum ; it was imported a few years ago 
from the interior of Brazil. The scape rises from the apex 
of the pseudo-bulb.
