Aerides "Wilsoniainim, Sander. — A very distinct dwarf 

 A'erides with a habit of growth similar to that of A. odoratum. 

 The flowers are produced on drooping spikes, and are pure 

 white with a lemon yellow lip. — Native Countri/ not stated. 



Calantlie colorans, Bchb. f. — This new and beautiful species 

 has recently flowered with us, and we have to thank Professor 

 Reichenbach for identifying it. It belongs to the C. vera- 

 trifolia section, and has large white showy flowers with a 

 double-toothed spur. The leaves are like those of C. vera- 

 trlfoUa in form. It grows in grassy places, which indicates 

 a terrestrial habit. This will make a useful autumn flowering 

 Calanthe, as it produces its blossoms during August and 

 September. — India. 



Cattleya crocata, Rchb. f. — This according to Professor 

 Reichenbach is near the Eldorado group, though the blossoms 

 are larger. The flowers are broad and of the purest white, 

 with a wide band of deep orange running from the base of 

 the lip to the disk of the anterior lobe, where it expands 

 into a pentagonal blotch toothed in front. It flowers during 

 the autumn months. — Brazil. 



Cattleya Hardyana, Hardi/. — The most gorgeous Cattleya 

 we have ever seen, doubtless a hybrid between C. gif/as and 

 C. Dowiana aurea, which grow together, and in a batch of 

 which it was imported. The growth resembles that of C. gujas. 

 The individual flowers measure eight inches across, the 

 sepals and petals are of a deep rosy purple ; the lip is three 

 inches across, its anterior portion much frilled, of a pure 

 magenta, the throat and upper portion of the lip rich yellow 

 after C. Dowiana, and handsomely veined with deep purple. 

 The lip has the two e3'es peculiar to C. gigas, which are in 

 this case of a richer yellow, margined with the magenta as in 

 the anterior portion of the lip. The flower is very strongly 

 scented. It blossoms iu August, and was flowered by G. 

 Hardy, Esq., Pickering Lodge, Timperley. — New Grenada. 



Cattleya labiata leucoplisea, Bidl. — A distinct variety of 



C. labiata, with blush white sepals and petals, and a deep 

 lilac-coloured lip margined with white, the throat yellow. It 

 was flowered by R. H. Measures, Esq., Woodlands, Streatham. 

 — Brazil. 



Cattleya Mossise Na'deriana, Brhb. /.—This variety is
