The following are rare in cultivation : V. ctliatum, V. japonicum, 
V. parvifolium, V. vacillans. 
VAGARIA. Syn. Vaginaria. Orpd. Amaryllidex. A 
monotypic genus. The species, V. parviflora (Syn. Pan- 
cratium parviflorum) is a half-hardy, bulbous plant, with 
small, greenish flowers; it was introduced into gardens 
in 1815, but is probably no longer in cultivation.

VALLOTA. To the species and varieties described 
on p. 132, Vol. IV., the following should be added : 
V. hybrida (hybrid).* A beautiful hybrid between V. purpurea 
and Cyrtanthus sanguineus. Alike as to flowers and foliage the 
hybrid is intermediate between the two parents. The flowers

apex. May. lJ. pinnately twice or three times trisected. /. Yin. 
1827. SYN. Epimediwm hexandrum. 
VANDA. One of the most remarkable additions to 
the Vandas since Vol. IV. was issued is the garden- 
raised hybrid Miss Joaquim. It was obtained from the 
intercrossing of V. teres and V. Hookeriana (Fig. 745), 
and it is a most remarkable plant. In this hybrid 
vigorousness has been increased threefold, and this is well 
seen in the racemes of flowers, which have the inter- 
mediate characteristics of the parents in shape. In the 
colour Vanda teres predominates. The hybrid referred to 
requires an abundance of light, and the same conditions 
generally found suitable for V. teres. 
To the species and varieties described on pp. 133-6, 
Vol. IV., the following should be added: 
V. Amesiana (Ames’).* jl. creamy-white, with a rich rosy hue 
mostly on the lip (which changes, when the flowers begin to 
fade, into light yellow), deliciously perfumed, thin and delicate 
in texture; sepals and petals cuneate-oblong, blunt-acute ; 
side laciniz of the lip small, nearly square, the middle one 
reniform, bilobed ; spur conical, empty ; inflorescence one- to 
twelve-flowered. /. lorate, complicate. India, 1887. A charming 
species. (B. M. 7139; W. O. A. vii., t. 296.) There is also a 
white variety (alba). 
V. Arbuthnotiana (W. N. Arbuthnot’s). /. golden-yellow, 
transversely striped with purple, 24in. by l4in., having the 
mid-lobe of the lip pandurate. & thinner than is usual, 
bilobed at apex. Malabar, 1892. Allied to V. Roaburghii. 
V. Batemanni is synonymous with Stawropsis lissochiloides. 
V. Bensoni tristis (sad). /. sulphur-yellow outside, dirty 
brown within ; lip whitish-yellow, with green side lobes. 1896.
