286 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
fatigable Dr. Wallich or his collectors, by Major Jenkins, Superin- 
tendent of the Tea plantations in Assam, and by Dr. Griffith. 
A very intelligent and well-informed collector, Mr. Simons, under the 
patronage of our excellent friend, Major Jenkins, now resident at Gow- 
ahatty, Assam, has already printed a list, which we give below, of the 
Orchideous plants, which he offers to cultivators on very moderate 
terms ; and to facilitate the communication, Messrs. Charles Cantor and 
` Co., in. Calcutta, have kindly arranged to receive orders; and they will 
despatch the plants carefully to Europe, either overland, which is prefer- 
able, or by sailing-vessel round the Cape. 
The price charged by Mr. Simons is fifty rupees for a box measuring 
three cubic feet, containing forty to fifty plants of the larger kinds, or 
fifty to eighty of the middle-sized and smaller kinds.—One rupee for a 
single plant of the common sorts. The rare and very rare in proportion. 
If any new plants, not discovered before, ave sent, a separate charge 
will be made. 
A “plant ” is generally composed of a bunch containing five to ten 
stems or more,—those with pseudo-bulbs, ten to twenty or more; 
and ZErides, Vanda, Saccolabium, and Orchidee of similar growth, two 
or three together. 
We mention this collector with the more satisfaction because he will 
collect other plants for cultivation on equally moderate terms; and we 
trust, too, that an arrangement may shortly be made with him to form 
large collections of dried specimens for sale among botanists. We 
know from experience that he is very competent to the task.—Ep.]
