brown, veined with green; labellum large and yellow, with the breast 
spotted with red. This species requires the same treatment and temperature 
as O. Cebolleti.—Native of Demerara. 
279. Oncidium longifolium (long leaved). Plant destitute of bulbs; leaves 
3 feet long, rush-like; the colour of the flowers is but little different from 
O. Cebolleti, and it requires the same treatment and temperature.— Native of 
Demerara. 
280. Oncidium asce?idens. This may be considered only a mere variety of 
O. Cebolleti , with its flowers in a more dense mass; its treatment and tem¬ 
perature being the same.— Native of Guatemala. 
281. Oncidium divaricatum. (Flowers straggling.) Plant pseudo-bulbous ; 
bulbs much like O. pulvinatum ; leaves thick, nearly oval, terminating with 
an obtuse apex ; flower scape from 1 to 2 feet long; sepals and petals a fine 
bright yellow, coloured deeply at the base with orange red ; labellum large, 
flat, lobed, and notched, yellow spotted with dark crimson ; treatment and 
temperature the same as for O. pulvinatum.—Native of Brazil. 
282. Oncidium pulchellum (pretty). Plant destitute of bulbs; leaves 
similar in form to those of O. tricolor; flower-spike 6 to 9 inches long ; the 
sepals and petals pure white ; column white, with a slight tinge of rose ; 
labellum white, with a slight tinge of orange at the base. This species re¬ 
quires the same treatment and temperature as recommended for O. tricolor. 
■— Native of Jamaica. 
283. Oncidium variegatum. This species is not very showy ; the raceme 
is terminal, and contains from 8 to 12 beautiful flowers of a greenish yellow 
colour, spotted with dark brown. It requires pot cultivation, with a free 
drainage, and a mixture of turfy peat, sphagnum, and small potsherds, with a 
temperature of 65° to 70°.— Native of Guatemala.

LIST OF NEW PLANTS. 
Liltaceve. — Hexandria Monogynia. 
Lilium Thomsonianum. A native of Mussooree, one of the northern pro¬ 
vinces of British India, where it was found by collectors employed by Dr. 
Wallich, who regards it as a lily. Professor Royle afterwards referred it to 
Fritillaria ; but its floral leaves have not the honey-pore which is essential to 
that genus. In fact, it is far too near in structure to the common white 
lily to allow of its being distinguished generically. Its delicate rose-coloured 
flowers offer, however, a very marked feature of distinction. The character 
of the plant is that of a handsome half-hardy bulb, requiring the same kind 
of treatment and soil as Tigridias. Messrs. Loddiges flowered it in a green¬ 
house in April, 1844. — Bot. Beg. 1—45. 
Epacridaceas —Peniandria Monogynia. 
Epacris miniata. This beautiful plant was raised from New Holland seeds 
by Messrs. Loddiges. It is a dense flowerer with blossoms somewhat 
smaller than those of E. grandifora, but perhaps still more brilliant in co¬ 
louring, the bright vermillion tube being so elegantly contrasted with the 
snow-white limb. It is probably a variety of grandiflora, and requires a 
similar treatment. — Bot. Beg. 5 —45. 
Oleace^e. — Diandria Monogynia. 
Syringa Emodi. This Himalayan lilac has been raised in the garden of 
the Horticultural Society, from seeds received from India. It is a fine
