Drawn in Mr. Griffin’s conservatory at Lambeth. In- 
troduced by the Horticultural Society from China. We 
had no opportunity of inspecting the plant; but comparing 
our figure and the description we have quoted above 
with the character given by Mr. Brown of Neorria 
australis, a native of India as well as New Holland, 
we can as yet see no sufficient ground for determining 
a difference in their species. At all events no distinction 
has been pointed out, nor the two compared by any 
author; and until that has been done they are evidently 
too near akin to be idly disposed of by different names.
