Var. grandiflora; flore albo pallide vireacente, 5 poll, diamotro. 



A fine old Orchid, now rarely seen in cultivation, and 

 which has, according to Dr. Lindley, been re-christened over 

 and over again, as our knowledge of the Order and limita- 

 tions of its genera have advanced or retarded, as the case 

 may be. That it is now rightly placed in Lycaste there can 

 be no doubt; and the present variety is certainly the largest 

 flowered, if not the showiest, of the genus. The specimen 

 here figured was flowered by Mr. Bull, F.L.S., of Chelsea; 

 had leaves fully two feet long, and was very sweet-scented. 

 The species is a native of the West Indies and South Ame- 

 rica.
