VANDA. 499 
The lip is of a rose-tinted white, the side lobes being small, 
and the central one ladle-shaped and about lin. across. 
For many years a totally different plant, a variety of V. tri- 
color and a native of Java, was grown under this name, 
which was originally given to the species by Blume. A 
native of the Moluccas. The flowers are borne at mid- 
summer.

Var. Schrederiana has sepals and petals of a light orange- 
yellow, and a cream-coloured lip. 
V. Kimballiana.—This lovely species has been introduced 
recently by Messrs. Low, of Clapton, with whom it flowered 
for the first time in the autumn of 1889. The leaves differ 
from those of any other Vanda, and may be described as 
intermediate between those of V. Amesiana (its nearest 
ally) and the terete form seen in V. teres; they are rft 
in length, narrow, subulate, with a thin furrow running 
down the upper side, and are closely arranged on the 
stem. The flowers are 2in. to 3in. in diameter. The sepals 
and petals are of the purest glistening white; and the lip 
is of a beautiful rosy purple, except the small side lobes, 
which are yellow, spotted with light brown. The upper 
sepal and the petals are much smaller than the two oblong 
lower sepals. The lip is broad and spreading, prettily frilled 
at the margin. The spur is tin. long and slightly recurved. 
The native country has not been published.

V. Parishiii—This is a distinct and beautiful species, 
stout and dwarf in habit, and of very slow growth. The 
leaves are bright green, thick, and fleshy, in shape oblong, 
tapering somewhat towards each end, and notched at the 
apex. The raceme is ascending, and bears six to ten 
flowers; the sepals and slightly broader petals are firm in
