Harrisdni Paxt. Mrs. Hiirdson's Catileya. A stove epiphyte; growinjr sixteen inches; 



with nist-C'iloveil lloueis; appeaiii!'.' in autumn. Pax. Mag, Bot., Vol. IV, p. 247. 

 Syri. C. Lodiligesit var. liairihonif of the garden?. 



Another splendid variety or species, with large and beautiful 

 flowers, almost equalling the C. labiata. The lip has not that 

 brilliant marking which is the peculiar charm of the C. labiata, 

 but the whole flower has a very showy appearance. Added to 

 this, its rather robust growth often producing, under good man- 

 agement, forty or fifty blossoms, and it is a desirable plant. The 

 drawing was taken from a plant at Chatsworth, which produced 

 nine spikes, nearly all with five blossoms each. It is grown like 

 the other species. {Pax. Mag, Bot., Dec.) 



ANiETOCHTLUS Blame (apparently from annildns, open, and clieilos, a lip, in allusion to the 

 spreading apex of that organ.) 

 setAc^us Blume Frinjed Anajtocliilus. A curii-us epiphyte; growing eight inches high; 

 witli white and pink (lowers; appearing in June; a native of Ceylon. Bot. Reg., 2010. 



Of no great beauty, the flowers being "white and green, and 

 very inconspicuous. But the leaves are singularly plaited with 

 golden veins upon a brownish purple ground." It is a terrestri- 

 al species, and requires the same treatment as Goodyera, &c.

 lilue and chocolate flowers; appearing in .'; a native of Rio janiero. Fax, JNlag. Bot. Vol. 

 IV. p. 271. 



Z. Mackau is tolerably well known for its great beauty, but al- 

 though the flowers are considerably larger than the present spe- 

 cies, still it cannot lay any more claims to beauty. The present 

 species is truly elegant. The lip is full and of a deep rich blue; 

 the sepals are green, spotted with chocolate, the scape of flowers 

 pendant and racemose. Mr Paxton states that it remains in bloom 

 upwards of two months. It was sent to Messrs Loddiges from 

 Rio Janiero in 1829. {Pax. JMag. Bot., Jan.)

 quadricorncs Lbull. Foar-hornei! Ptanhopea; a stove epiphyte; crowing a foot high; with yel- 

 low and rod flowers; a native of the b"panish Main. liot. Reg. 5. 



"An exceedingly pretty species of Stanhopea, allied to S. oc- 

 ulata." The flowers are very large, of a bright yellow, and the 

 sepals and petals spotted witji chocolate. It is a very desirable 

 sjjecies. The drawing was figured from a specimen furnished by 

 Sigismund Rucker, Jr., Esq., of Wandswoi-th. 



Appended to this is an article by Mr. Paxton upon the man- 

 agement of this most beautiful tribe of plants; and as many of 

 them are now about being added to our collections, we offer no 

 apology for making an extract therefrom. 



"Over the drainage hole of the pot to be used, is inserted one 

 of a smaller size, generally covering about half the bottom of the 

 pot; over this is carefully thrown a quantity of broken pots, suf- 

 ficient to fill the former to within one third of the top. A suf-
