A plant we have seen in no collection except in that of 
Messrs. Lee and Kennedy of the Hammersmith nursery, 
where it first flowered in the tan-bed of the hothouse in 
February last. We have not been able to identify it with 
any published species. We are informed by Messrs. Lee 
and Kennedy, that the plant was received by them from 
Paris. Probably native of the East Indies?
