VANDA ca#ruescens, var. BoxaLu. 
Native of Transgangetic India. 
Nat. Ord. Orcutpackm.—Tribe Vanpex. 
Genus Vanna, Lindl. (Bot. Reg. 1843 ; Mise. p. 14). 
Vanna caerulescens, Griff. (Bot. Mag. 5834), var. Bowallii ; sepalis petalisque 
lateralibus pallidioribus, labello violaceo"disco albo-lineato.—Reichenb. Jil. 
in Gard. Chron, 1877, pt. i. p. 749. 
This lovely form of Vanda caerulescens, a species already 
well represented in this Magazine (Tab. 5834) was figured 
from a specimen flowered by Messrs. Low, of Clapton, last 
June. It is merely a horticultural form of the type-species, 
presenting no tangible botanical difference entitling it to 
rank as a variety. Those specimens, in which the outer 
perianth becomes pure white, must be especially charming. 
In the flowers figured they are a very pale violet. 
_ Descr. Stem and leaves as in Vanda caerulescens, the 
latter numerous, rigidly distichous, with an obliquely toothed 
apex, four to six inches long, half to three-quarters of an 
inch broad, strongly keeled. Raceme many-flowered from 
the lower axils, in our specimen rather shortly pedunculate ; 
pedicel and ovary one inch to one and a quarter inch in 
length, subtended by very small ovate or lanceolate bracts. 
Flowers one inch to one and a quarter inch in diameter ;
