A. quinqueviiluemm Farmeri, Williams, is a variety of the 

 preceding, j)rocluciug long spikes of white flowers ; it grows like 

 A. quinqiiev nine rum , and blooms about the same time. This 

 plant first came under our notice at Nonsuch Park, Cheam, 

 the seat of W. F. G. Farmer, Esq. ; it is extremely rare.— 

 Manilla. 



A. ReiclienhacMi, Linden. — A beautiful species allied to 

 A. virevs and A. quinquevulnerum, the latter of which it 

 resembles in habit and foliage. It has long dense drooping 

 racemes of flowers, of which the sepals are white blotched with 

 purple, the dorsal one cuneate-ovate, with a large spot near 

 the apex, and the lateral ones bluntly triangular ; the linear 

 falcate petals are also white with small dots of purple, and 

 having a large purple spot near the apex ; the lip is trifid, 

 white dotted with purple, with the yellow side lobes erect 

 and dolabriform, and the middle one cuneate-ligulate. The 

 disk of the lip runs out behind into a conical incurved spur, 

 which is white below, green at the tip. — Borneo.

A. Reichenbacliii cocMncMnensis, Hart. — A variety which 



has the inflorescence more dense ; the sepals are not blotched, 

 but neatly striped at the apex, and the yellow of the hp is 

 much deeper. It has been flowered by Sir Trevor Lawrence, 

 Bart., M.P., and proves to be a very grand thing. — Cochin 

 China. 



A. Robbelenii, Bchb. /.—According to Prof. Reichenbach, 

 this is a fine novelty presenting some new features. It has 

 the habit of A. quinqnevulnerum, and produces erect racemes 

 a foot in length bearing as many as twenty-five very fragrant 

 flowers as large as those of the species just named, the sepals 

 and petals greenish white with white tips, the petals often 

 toothletted, the lip rosy, with yellow oblong side lobes 

 lacerated on the upper edge, as is the much longer oblong 

 curved middle lobe. The flowers have a short conical spur.

A. Rohanianiim, Bchb. f. — This novelty has not yet 

 flowered in cultivation, but is said to be a grand thing, near 

 to A. Beichenbachii, its racemes being longer and denser. 

 The sepals are described as being white, rose, or mauve rose, 

 always edged with white ; the segments of the lip are narrow,
