The flowers have no smell. 
112. MASDEVALLIA floribunda. 
M. florihunda ; folio carnoso spathulato obtuso apice tridentato, scapo lon- 
giore unifloro, flore bilabiato, sepalis lateralibus oblongis dorsali duplo 
breviore ovato omnibus in acumen linearem obtusum productis, petalis 
truncatis antice infra medium unidentatis lineis duabus brevibus carnosis 
versus apicem incrassatis, labello ovato-oblongolaevi lineis duabus elevatis 
carnosis rotundatis obsoletis. 
A little Mexican Orchidaceous plant, from the collection 
of John Rogers, Esq. of Sevenoaks, flowering profusely during 
a large part of the year. The leaves are olive green, about 
three inches and a half long, including the stalk, of a thick 
texture, and a rounded, not acute, margin. The flowers are 
a dull brownish yellow, and grow singly on slender stalks five 
or six inches long. The length of the sepals is about three 
quarters of an inch. It is the only species of this singular 
genus not found in the northern hemisphere. 
113. RODRIGUEZIA carnea. 
R. carnea ; pseudobulbis compressis ovalibus, foliis lanceolatis canaliculatis 
acutis, racemo secundo foliis breviore ascendente, sepalo supremo forni 
cato inferiore bidentato, petalis ovatis obtusis, labello juxta basin aurito 
disco interrupt^ bilamellato apice cuneato emarginato, columna elon^ata 
basi lanata. ° 
A discovery of Mr. Linden in Columbia, in the year 1842 
very like a small pale specimen of R. secunda. It differs 
however not merely in size and colour, but in having only two 
instead of three raised plates on the bend of the labellum, and 
in its column being unusually long and woolly. We are in- 
debted for our specimen to the Rev. J. Clowes. The foliage 
is much the same as that of R. secunda, but narrower.
