New Orcuip. 
VANDA tricolor ; folis distichis canaliculatis racemo paucifloro longioribus, 
sepalis coriaceis unguiculatis obovatis obtusis, labello zequilongo trilobo 
per axin 3-lineato, calcare brevi obtuso, laciniis lateralibus rotundatis 
intermedio convexo cuneato emarginato latioribus. 
Under the name of Vanda insignis, a very different 
plant, this fine Javanese species, has been brought into culti- 
vation by Messrs. Veitch. It has quite the habit of Vanda 
Roxburghii, and its flowers appear in the same manner, but 
they are larger, have yellow and brown spotted sepals, and 
a rose-coloured lip, with the lateral lobes rounded, not acute, 
and colourless. It is nearer V. Hindsü, a New Guinea plant, 
not yet in cultivation; but that species has a long many- 
flowered raceme, extending as far as the points of the leaves. 
As to Vanda insignis, no description has yet been pub- 
lished of that plant; but, by the kindness of Dr. Blume, we 
possess a figure of it, from which we learn that it has a 
concave, not convex, lip, with very small lateral lobes, and 
the broad central lobe deeply heart-shaped.
