tach themselves to certain adjoining processes of the stigma, 
where they are held, probably with the same intent as that 
which has been surmised in Orchidew; and the recompo- 
sition they undergo is not improbably analogous. 
The summary of the natural character of Orchidew 
stands in the Prodomus of Mr. Brown as follows: “ Corolla 
superior. Filaments and style united either at the base or 
along their whole length. (Anther one, seldom two): pol- 
len resolving into concretions of determinate shape. Capsule 
one-celled, with three many-seeded receptacles attached to 
the axis of the valves. Seeds minute, with an albumen, but 
no vitellus;” (from the Latin.) Denprosium ruscifolium 
and racemiflorum of Swartz were both included in this ge- 
nus by Mr. Brown. rruy i 
The drawing was taken at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, in the 
King’s Road, froma plant sent from the Governor's garden 
at Trinidad by Mr. David Lockhart; and is the first of the 
species that has appeared in our hothouses. _
