Chron. 1872, p. 1035. A remarkable species introdaced by Messrs. Backhouse from Ecuador^ which flowered for the first time in this country in the collection of the late Mr. John Day, at Tottenham, in 1872. The labellum is very peculiar both in form and colour; the side lobes are small and reflexed so as not to be visible from the front; the middle lobe is covered with numerous warts, and its reflexed apex is of a greyish blue colour, a tint not to be seen in any other species of Oncidium yet in...troduced; the prominent crest somewhat resembles a Roman nose. We are indebted to the Royal Gardens at Kew for materials for description. On. Jonesianum. Pseudo-bulbs none. Leaves as in Oncidium CeboUeta, from which this species cannot be distinguished when not in flower. Peduncles 15—20 inches long, pale green mottled with purple, racemose, 10 — 15 flowered. Flowers 2—3 inches in diameter; sepals and petals obovate- oblong, undulate, yellowish white spotted with chestnut-brown; lip clawed with two yellow and rod auricles at the base of the claw, the blade transversely oblong with a deep sinus in the anterior margin, undulate, white with some red spots in front of the crest which consists of a broad central ridge with lateral processes at each end much tubercled.
