This splendid novelty was imported by Mr. Griffin from 
the Brazils. It flowered in the hothouse at South Lambeth 
in December last. A name had been already attached by 
ourselves to the species, taken up in a paper on this genus 
in the second volume of the Journal of Science and the Arts 
from a transient view of a sample produced in the gardens 
at Kew. 
The species belongs to a division of the genus dis- 
tinguished by a crowned tube. In most this crown is an in- 
conspicuous shallow colourless pellicle shredded into a kind 
of fringe; but in a group of 3 newly recorded ones among 
which is the present, this appendage is nearly entire, sub- 
stantially membranous, conspicuous, and seemingly associ- 
ated with the production of a two-flowered scape, if we are
