flowers are figured of a bright golden colour that must 

 have a brilliant effect ; it is described as a very free flower- 

 ing but not very vigorous form. Var. Pottsianum is 

 figured with an ivory-white flower with a triangular lip, 

 and dimidiate-lanceolate petals speckled with red, there 

 are also a very few speckles of the same colour on the disk 

 of the lip. 



The specimen here figured is from a purchased plant 

 that flowered in the Royal Gardens in October of last year ; 

 it differs from any of the varieties previously published in 

 the pale greenish yellow of the flowers, and it wants the 

 sharp toothlets or serratures on the margin of the lip 

 which are represented in the " Gardener's Chronicle " figure, 

 though there are traces of them. The flowers are slightly 

 fragrant, and Mr. Brown informs me that as many as 

 sixteen have been produced on one spike. — /. D. H.
