lines. Mr. Scheidweiler gives the following definition of his 
new genus. 
Char. gen. Perianthium explanation, sepalis petalisque subsequalibus, sepalo 
supremo fornicato, labello indiviso oblongo apiculato, disco calloso, cum 
basi columnse accreto, saccato ; sacculi ore ciliis densis cincto ; columna 
brevis clavata apice auriculata. Anthera unilocularis, pollinia duo, 
pyriformia, postice sulcata ; caudicula subulata, glandula oblonga.

Scheidweiler in Gartenzeit. 1843 . p. 109 . 
C. Arembergii ; sepalis lateralibus falcatis obtusiusculis, supremo lanceolato, 
petalis latioribus undulatis, labelli trilobi lobis undulato-crispis, inter- 
medio margine lilacino lamina lutea, lateralibus margine lutescentibus, 
spatha herbacea compressa obtusa, pseudobulbis cylindraceis nitidis, 
foliis ovatis carnosis, obsure viridibus. Caulis 8 poll, altus, fol. 4 poll, 
longa, 2 poll, lata, flores inodori. 
This species, says Mr. Scheidweiler, although having 
much resemblance to some others, is nevertheless distin- 
guished by its beautiful dull green ovate leaves, and its great 
lilac flowers. It is a Brazilian species, and we presume 
described from Count Aremberg’s garden, though that is 
not stated. 
124. EPIDENDRUM glutinosum. 
Scheidweiler in Gartenzeit. 1843 . p. 110 . 
B. glutinosum; foliis in pseudobulbos pyriformes tunicatos glabros, binis 
linearibus coriaceis oblique truncatis, racemo subsimplici pedicellisque 
glutinosis, sepalis oblongis acuminatis petalisque spathulatis patentibus, 
labelli fere liberi trilobi lobis lateralibus oblongis obtusis integris erectis, 
intermedio ovato crispato, disco calloso depresso, columna bidentata. — 
Scapus terminalis pedalis, petala et sepala viri di-purpurea, extus lineis 
purpureis notata, labellum albo-lutescens , lobo intermedio lineis purpu- 
reis ornato. 
This plant, which comes from the neighbourhood of 
Rio Janeiro, and is remarkable for the glutinous condition of 
its scape and peduncles is, according to Mr. Scheidweiler, 
very near Epidendrum odoratissimum, which he considers 
identical with the Encyclia patens of Hooker and Macradenia 
lutescens of Loddiges. Its scape is a foot high. The petals 
and sepals are greenish purple, marked outside with purple 
lines. The lip is whitish yellow, its middle lobe being 
marked with purple lines.
