A highly curious little orchideous plant, which was reared 
in the stove of the Botanic Garden at Liverpool, to which 
establishment it had been sent, as Mr H. SuHerpHernD informs 
me, from Trinidad, through the well-known liberality of Baron 
De Suack, M.D. It flowered in May 1824. It had pre- 
viously blossomed in Mr Grirrin’s collection in South Lam- 
beth, in 1820, and was then figured by Mr Linp ey, in his 
Collectanea Botanica, under the same appellation, and with 
the generic characters, which I have adopted. —
