PSEUDO-BCLBS oi'oíc, compresseil at the edges, deeply fiirrmixtl, almnt an inch and a half high,
hearimj tico or three rather short, acute, msiform LEAVES. SCAPE slauler, rising t„ the height of
three feet and vpicards, branched (simplg) at lax intermU thnmghout almost its entire length.
SEPALS and PETAZS nearlg equal, linear-lanceolate, waced at their margin, white, elegantbj blotched
ami spotted with lilac, shorter than the PETIOLES, which are an inch lang. Lip three-lobed, the
lateral labes dwarf, rounded, the intermediate one mucronate, sub-ratnnd, hollow, with a crest of
which the lon-er half is depressed and thrown into lines, while the upper consists of thret elccatcd
ribs. CoLUify destitute of wings.
A N elegant addition to the genus Oucitliun,, for ^vhicll ive ore indebted to Mr. ISÍBKEO, in «'hose
ample collection at Springfield it flowered for Üie first time in the early part of 1S40.
0. mcm-mm, like its nearest lüly 0. arnithorhjndmm (figured iit Tab. IV. of this work), is a native of
Mexico, but apparently much less extensively ditVuscd Üian the latter specics, and much rarer even in its
proper liaimts In tlie general aspect of their flowers a certain degree of similmty exists between the two
plants, but their habit and the colour of their flowers are perfectly distinct, as is also tl.e structure of the
latter when carefully examined. Both are of tlie easiest culture.
An elegant manufacture in gold and silver f.Ugree is carried on at Lima and other towns on the shores
of the Pacific, of which the butterfly delineated in the Vignette aflbrds a pleasing example.
