sometimes purplish spots on the flower. It has been frequently 
imported from Brazil, as it appears from Rio J aneiro. It came 
generally to the great disappointment of amateurs. Tt was also 
gathered by Sello, the excellent Prussian traveller (locality 
unknown), and by Dr. Kugen Warming near Lagoa Santa. 
Very shortly caulescent. Rhizome very strong, with distichous 
triangular chestnut-brown sheaths. Pseudobulbs distant, nearly 
terete or pyriform, with some furrows when they get older, when 
they are incumbent on the rhizome, and leave a hollow; they are 
generally two-leaved, but occur also one-leaved. Leaves fleshy, 
semiterete, impressed or channelled on the inner side, folded 
together at the very base. Flower-stalks sheathed by membranous 
triangular sheaths, imbricate one over the other. Bract wider 
and larger, longer than the stalked ovary. Chin obtuse-angled, 
moderate-sized. Sepals lanceolate-triangular, acute. Tepals ligu- 
late, bluntly acute, reflexed at the ends, a little shorter. Inp 
cuneate-oblong, three-lobed; lateral lobes nearly half-rhomboid, 
serrate or toothed; middle lobe porrect, semioblong, retuse or 
emarginate. Column clavate. Anther mitrate. Pollinia incum- 
bent in pairs on a broad caudicula getting broader above the 
transverse glandule. 
Materials :—Several descriptions from the living plant in the 
Hamburgh Garden and in the Saundersian garden; analytical

A very remarkable Mazillaria, with orange-brown flowers. 
The plant is from Brazil, and was presented to me by Lady 
Dorothy Nevill, to whom I am much indebted for this and 
various other very interesting plants. It flowers freely treated 
as recommended for the T'richopilia, No. 100.—W. W. S.
