For the outline of the genus and enumeration of the 
species we refer to Mr. Brown’s observations on Lissocutnus 
speciosus, vol. 7. fol. 578. of this work; where the name is 
written “‘ EuLopuus,” and has been now altered in the ter- 
mination on the suggestion of its author. 
The recorded species are from the Cape of Good Hope and. 
the East Indies; the unrecorded one before us from Sierra 
Leone, whence it was introduced last summer into the gar- 
den of the Horticultural Society by Mr. George Don, col- 
Jector for that public-spirited, well-directed association, 
The crested character of the label is, perhaps, less con- 
spicuously marked in the present species, than in any men- 
tioned by Mr. Brown; and is moreover strictly confined 
to the funnelform portion of that petal, where it appears 
in the form of several green slightly raised even parallel 
callously tuberculated symmetrically disposed vertical lines 
easily mistaken for as many varicose nerves. é 
The lid of the anther is remarkable for a thickened 
fleshy frosted three-lobed shallow border extended along the | 
hinder edge; the two lateral divergent lobes of which are 
let into corresponding indentations in a raised margin at the 
back of the apex of the column. Upon the flower being 
fully expanded this lid falls off, and when viewed in the’ 
microscope is not unlike the empty upper shell of the dimi- 
nutive Crabs so frequent on our shores. 
The two uncoloured outlines in the plate are front and 
side views of the flower when deprived of the five upper 
petals, and are intended to show the relative positions of the 
column and label. —
