370 ORCHIDS. 



lanopsis amabilis and P. rosea, the former of which it re- 

 sembles in habit. It bears a long drooping and branch- 

 ing spike of pure white flowers ; lip bright rosy-red, 

 tinted with orange. Only two plants of this species are 

 known to have been imported, and these differ somewhat 

 in intensity of color.

Fl. des Ser., 1645. Pax - F1 - G -> 7 2 - 

 Lem. Jard., 283. Jen. Orch., 27. 

 A small-flowering species. Flower white, tinged with 

 pink ; lip violet or ruby, with yellow at base, upper part 

 intense violet, without the tendrils which occur in Phal- 

 cenopsis amabilis and P. grandiflora. A very free bloomer, 

 and continuing long in beauty. 



A. Phalanopsis Schilleriana. Philippine Islands. 



Bat. 2d Cen., 171. B. M./ 5530. 



Jen. Orch., 15. Fl. des Ser., 1559. 



War. Orch., i. I. H., 348. 



Leaves very large, dark green, mottled with gray or 

 white. Flower stems from one to three feet long, much 

 branched, covered with multitudes of lovely flowers from 

 two to three inches in diameter, of delicate shades, mauve, 

 edged with white, yellow, with reddish cinnamon spots. 

 No two plants have flowers exactly alike, and all are 

 lovely. In attempting to describe this flower one feels 

 how poor words are to convey an idea of its beauties. 

 Very free-flowering ; plants have borne more than three 

 hundred flowers. 



A. Phalcznopsis Sumatrana. Sumatra. B. M., 5527.
