DESCRIPTIVE LIST Of NEW PLANTS. 
21 
perfectly new and most distinct species, possessing handsome, 
dark green, glossy foliage ; flowers among the larger of the genus, 
pure white, deliciously scented; the calyx furnished with large 
leafy segments ; the corolla of the purest white, its limb cut into 
seven long segments, which are soon reflected. Though shrubby, 
it is eminently suited to pot culture, and deserves a place in every 
stove. It blossoms in October and November, and will probably 
be found to do so at other seasons.— Bot. Mag. 4343. 
Ericaceae. —Becandria Monogynia. 
Thibaudia Pinchinchensis (3 glabra (Hooker). Our plant was 
raised from seeds sent from the elevated mountains of Columbia, 
by our collector, Mr. Purdie; and it flowered first in the green¬ 
house at Sion, in September 1847. The species is eminently 
beautiful, with its bright green, rather ample foliage, and rose- 
coloured flowers, larger, and as waxy, as those of any heath. 
According to Hartweg, it becomes a large shrub (six to twelve 
feet high).— Bot. Mag. 4344. 
Orciiidace^e. —Gynandria Monandria . 
Stenorhynchus cinnabarinus (Lindley). Por the knowledge of 
this rare plant we are indebted to Messrs. Loddiges, who received 
it from Mexico, and flowered it in July last. The dull olive green 
of the bracts belonging to its large compact spike, the vermilion red 
of the flowers externally, and the bright yellow of the inner face 
of their narrow spreading points, give them an appearance 
unusually gay among these terrestrial species.— Bot. Beg. 65-4/. 
Oncidium amictum (Lindley). A native of Brazil, whence it 
was received by Messrs. Loddiges, with whom it flowered in April 
1847. Its large yellow flowers, more or less spotted in many 
parts with rich brown, give it a very handsome appearance. It 
is nearly allied to O. Gardneri , differing from that species in 
having an inversely wedge-shaped lip, much larger basal lobes, 
oidy two pair of tubercles on the crest, large column wings, and 
an anther head, surrounded as it were by a membranous frill.— 
Bot. Beg. 66-47. 
Cymbidiim eburneum (Lindley). The flowers of this charming 
plant are not only among the largest of the genus, but among the 
sweetest. They resemble in fragrance those of the Chinese 
Cymbid, than which nothing is more delicious. The species has
