This is a remarkable plant, with brilliant mage slated flowers collected
in a close raceme envelo in thin cucullate membranous bracts, and never
opening except at their point. The leaf is neat six inches long, narrow,
channelled, rather shorter the scape, which bears two distant mem-
branous sheaths. Mr. Linden referred it to Brassia ; from which, however,
it differs in some im ticulars :—1, the lamellz of
fiuent branous ; 2, the lip is parallel with the column and solidly
united to the base of it ; 3, the column is twice as long as in other B.
i at the base; 4, the caudi and obovate, while
and thin-edg: cle is short
the gland is cireular. For this Feason I place it atthe end ofthe glamaccous
rassias. Possibly it may be related to Rehb.’s genus Brachtia, a plant of

We here find a set of creeping species, with true pseudobulbs, sessile
(or nearly sessile) flowers, and a lip adnate to the column. They differ from
Aulizeum and Osmophytum in the pecudobu a in the flowers not being in
conspicuous racemes ; from Lanium in their flowers not being panicled and
woolly ; from Spathium, hualiadidtiien, roe gee dendrum in their stems
not being leafy.

For the distinction between this well-known genus and Opon-

In some of the sections, whether artificial or natural, into which
Oncidium is here divided, the limits of the Species are clearly
definable ; in others it is extremely doubtful whether some which
the author still retains ought to be admitted as anything more
than forms of one common type, as
