 ,,Many supposcd varieties occur in gardens . varying in colour and in the spotting of 

 ihe lip. There is one, called Barkeriana, which is more remarkable, than the others. 

 It looks like Sianhopea insignis with ihe lip of Stanhopea oculata , and is very hand- 

 some. The sepals, petals and column are covered with numerous purple freckles 

 raiher than spots , which, as the Hower fades, run together as if their colouring 

 matter was dissolved, so that at iast the flower becomes of a dull wine-red tint. This 

 is apparently Stanhopea Lindleyi of Zuccarini.") Flores vulgo albi seu albido citrini
