closely frilled at the edge, of a rich deep magenta-purple, the 

 crests forming a broad oblong patch of yellow frilled keels 

 occupying thn disk. It flowers in June, and makes a fine 

 plant for exhibition. We saw a spike of this species recently 

 flowered by Mr. Swan, gardener to W. Leach, Esq., Fallow- 

 field, Manchester, which bore eighteen flowers — a most unusual 

 number. — Mountains of Moulmein.

T. DodgSOniana, Williams. — A handsome and distinct species, 

 with erect terete stems, and oblong-lanceolate acute nervosa 

 stem-clasping bright green leaves. The flowers are produced 

 in terminal drooping racemes like those of T. alba, which the 

 plant resembles in its general aspect, the oblong-lanceolate 

 acute sepals and petals being pure white, and the lip, which is 

 denticulate in front, is sulphury white outside, yellow within, 

 -the throat freely striped with crimson. The lateral sepals 

 are produced backwards so as to form a short blunt chin 

 or incipient spur. This plant was exhibited by us at the 

 Royal Horticultural Society's Meeting in August, 1871, and 

 was awarded a first-class certificate. — India.

T. Marshalliana, Bckh. f. — A lovely species of free-growing 

 character. The reed-like stems are erect terete and leafy, 

 as in the other cultivated species, and the leaves are oblong- 

 lanceolate acuminate, six inches long, semiamplectant, dis- 

 tichous, pale green, glaucous beneath. The flowers, which 

 are produced in June and July, are large, white, with the 

 lanceolate-oblong acute spreading sepals and petals two 

 and a half inches long, and the lip white, with the lower 

 part convolute around the column, streaked with yellow and 

 purple on the upper side near the front, and produced 

 behind into a retuse falcate spur, the front part spread out, 

 roundish, golden-yellow, with numerous forking veins of deep 

 orange-red covering the whole surface except the extreme 

 edge, which is white and beautifully frilled ; the disk bears 

 five yellow raised veins and five shorter ones on each side, 

 all pectinately fringed with crystalline hairs. It continues to 

 throw fresh flowers for a long time, and makes a good 

 exhibition plant, being so distinct from any other Orchid. — 

 Moulmein.
