Its nearest affinity ‘isperhaps with the Encyclia patens (Bot. Mag. t. 3013, Ept- endrum odoratissimum, Lindl. Bot.

Dr Arnott, however, about the same time repeated his analysis and found nO appearance of dissepiments. Perhaps they are extremely fugacious and disappear by the drying of the specimen.

Mr Babington, however, on the authority of our friend Dr Klotzsch of Berlin, says that Lagasca’s is differ- ent; but as no proof of this is offered, no notice given of the Points in which the two differ, no description made of the specimen in the possession of Dr Klotzsch, so that one might Judge how far it agrees with Lagasca’s character, nor any mention made whence that specimen was obtained, we are still disposed to adhere to our former opinion.— Aru.

A very singular and well-marked species of Antrophyum, as 1 am disposed to consider it, quite distinct from any hitherto de- scribed. The root is tufted, consisting of numerous downy fibres. Fronds 3—4 from one point, erect, a span or more high, quite sessile, rather broad at the base, lanceolate, thin and almost membranous, especially at the margin, where it is some- What transparent, slightly falcate, obtuse at the apex. A rather obscure costa runs through the centre, gradually becoming fainter upwards; but there are no visible reticulations or veins, even when the plant is held up between the eye and the light. Sori consisting of elongated, interrupted, flexuose lines, between the Costa and margin, and nearly parallel with them : these lines send out oblique branches on the side next the margin only, and they are sunk into the substance of the frond.

Dr Arnott observes that both this and B. caryophylloides of Blume “ have the germinating tigellus tapering slightly, and ob- Scurely angled towards the point. I as yet know of no charac- ter to separate the two, except the narrower and more pointed leaves, and longer peduncles of the Malabar plant. I have never, in the present one, observed more or less than three flowers on each peduncle, but the two lateral ones often drop off before expansion.” In our figure one of these lateral flowers has very constantly fallen off, hence the peduncles are repre- sented as if two-flowered. - Fig. 1.

This pretty species, whose leaves bear so strong a resem- blance in shape to those of Asarum Europeum, may rank next to the Dorstenia tubicina, figured at Tab. 2804 of the Botanical Magazine. The root is thick, between fleshy and woody, toothed below, clothed with membranous scales above: from the sides of this root or trunk descend several branching fibres, and in one case there is a pendent stalked tuber from the bot- tom. Leaves two or three from the top of the root, quite reni- form, membranous, toothed, beneath, as is the petiole and in- florescence, more or less downy, especially in the young state. From the same point of the root arise the scapes or peduncles, 2—4, shorter than the peduncles, and expanding at the nis into a hemispherical or shallow cup-shaped fleshy —— a the margin lobed and involute: the concave disk studded wit minute flowers, as in the genus.

Summit of Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, _ (Thunberg) ; near the spring there which flows into Camps _ Bay; Hon. W. H.

The one is the Orobanche squamosa, (See our Tas. CDI.) of Thunberg; the other the _ 0. Capensis of the same author. The latter is the species here . figured, and the whole is ‘of an intense scarlet, relieved with _ Shades of a rich orange.” Both are parasitical, leafless, scaly and tuberous-rooted, nearly allied to our Harveya. This genus, _ 0n account of the structure, Mr Harvey is disposed to refer to 4 Schrophularinee, rather than to Orobanchee, if the latter be -eally a distinct family from the former.—Our drawing was Made by Mr Harvey from recent specimens at the Cape. _ Fig. 1.
