EULOPHIA GOODYEEA. 319 



Good Hope. It attains the height of a foot or eighteen inches, 

 beai'ing on the top of the stems from two to five of its beau- 

 tiful scarlet flowers in June and July. The blossoms last a 

 very long time in perfection. 



D. grandljiora superba. — This certainly ranks among the 

 finest of greenhouse Orchids, and is beautifully figured in 

 Warner's " Select Orchidaceous Plants." It has a creeping 

 underground stem, which throws up young shoots about six 

 inches in height, and of a light green colour. The leaves 

 are affixed to these stems, and the flower spikes, when present, 

 proceed from the top, to the height of eighteen inches or two 

 feet, bearing from two to eight flowers, more than four inches 

 in diameter, of a bright scarlet and crimson, veined with pink ; 

 the blossoms are generally produced in June, July, and August, 

 and continue for five or six weeks. It makes a fine plant for 

 exhibition on account of its splendid colour.

 not many in cultivation ; indeed, the greater portion of the 

 species are not sufficiently showy to render them worth the 

 attention of amateurs with limited space ; yet there are some 

 very pretty ones. The species here introduced, and which 

 flowered in the collection of Lord Eversley, at Heckfield, is 

 well worth growing. It is of free habit, producing spikes of 

 flowers which resemble little doves hanging by their beaks ; 

 the sepals and petals are chocolate colour, and the lip white. 

 It requires the same treatment as the Cypripediums. Native 

 of the Cape of Good Hope.
