DENDROBIUM. 223 
Var. nobtlius.—Flowers larger than in any other form. 
The sepals and petals brilliant amethyst, paler towards 
the base; lip deep maroon, with a zone of milk-white in 
front. 
Var. Sanderianum.—F lowers large, and brilliant in colour. 
Var. Schrederianum.—Flowers large; sepals and petals 
white; lip deep maroon-purple, almost black, yellowish in 
front. 
D. ochreatum.—A beautiful plant when well flowered. 
It has short, thick, knotted pseudo-bulbs, which are rarely 
1ft. long. Leaves deciduous, lance-shaped, 3in. long, thin 
and succulent. Flowers on the young pseudo-bulbs at the 
same time as leaves, 24in. across, full; sepals and petals 
equal; lip almost circular, slightly concave, downy; colour 
deep golden yellow, with a large blotch of deep maroon on 
the lip. A native of the Khasia Hills, whence it was 
introduced in 1837. This is somewhat difficult to manage, 
as it often grows freely, but flowers poorly. The best 
treatment for it is as follows: Plant in teak baskets, in 
sphagnum, with a little peat-fibre. When making new 
growth, the plants should be in a hot, moist stove. After 
flowering, which should occur in April or May, they should 
be removed to an airy house, such as a cool vinery, and 
kept there till they begin to push new growths, when they 
must be top-dressed or re-basketed, and put back into the 
stove. Syn. D. Cambridgeanum.

D. Parishiii—A distinct and beautiful species, named in 
honour of its discoverer, the Rev. C. P. Parish. It bears 
a certain resemblance to D. nobile, but is in reality 
perfectly distinct. Even when out of flower it is readily 
distinguished by its thick, fleshy, leafless stems, which
