C. Triange Atalanta, Marshall. — This extremely fine variety 

 was flowered by Mr. Wilson, gardener to W. Marshall, Esq., 

 and was exhibited at one of the meetings of the Eoyal 

 Horticultural Society, when it received a first-class certificate. 

 The sepals are upwards of three inches long and about an 

 inch broad, white shaded with rose ; the petals are of the 

 same colour, but broader and less pointed ; the lip three 

 inches long, pale rose with a broad band of orange in the 

 throat. 



C. Trianse Backhousiana, Backhouse. — A very chaste and 

 beautiful variety, which was imported by Messrs. Backhouse & 

 Son, of York. The sepals and petals are blush pink ; the lip 

 large, and having a large bright magenta stain on the anterior 

 part ; the throat marked with pale yellow. This is one of the 

 finest of the dark varieties, and bears very large flowers. 



C. Triange Colemanili, Williams. — This fine variety was 

 flowered by E. J. Coleman, Esq., Stoke Park, Slough. The 

 flowers measure eight inches across, the sepals and petals 

 tipped with rose ; the lip is prettily fimbriated, and of a deep 

 rose colour, and the throat beautifully striped with various 

 shades of yellow. This is a very free-flowering plant, and a 

 grand addition to the already large number of varieties of this 

 species.
