REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PLANTS AND FLOWERS. 109 



Of that magnificent orchid, Phaloenopsis grandijiora aarea, Mr. 

 Williams says, " This is certainly the granelest of the many 

 varieties of this fine orchid. It is a variety that bloomed among 

 several hundred I imported from Borneo ; the sepals and petals 

 are unusually broad, and rounded, and the lip is conspicuously 

 marked with deep orange. It is a compact growing plant with 

 light green foliage." 



From H. H. Hunnewell came a magnificent collection of Coni- 

 fers, such as has never been shown before ; many of them were 

 new and rare plants ; each one was a splendid specimen of its 

 kind, and was alone worth a visit. A list of the species is given 

 in full, it Ibeing impossible to select one more worthy than another.
