CYPRIPEDIUM SANDERIANUM, Rem. ғ 
MESSRS. PROTHEROE anp MORRIS are instructed by Mr. F. SANDER 
to SELL by AUCTION, at their Central Sale Rooms, 67 and 68, Cheapside, E.C.. on FRIDAY NEXT, 
May 6, at. half-past 12 o'Clock precisely, an importation of the splendid new winter-flowering CATTLEY А. 
BOWRINGIANA-—the whole of which are offered. The plants have arrived in the best possible condition, with 
plump dormant eyes. It is one of the most desirable Cattleyas, and no collection should be without it. From the 
excellence and beautiful colouring of its inflorescence, and flowering as it does in November, when Orchid bloom 
is very scarce, it has а twofold claim on all lovers of this beautiful genus. The flowers are produced in clusters, 
with sepals and petals of mauve, tinted rose, and a rich dark crimson labellum, the throat of which is stained 
yellow. See Gardeners’ Chronicle, November 28, 1885, page 683. Awarded a First-class Certificate by the Royal 
Horticultural Society, October 31, 1885. 
large and fine newly-arrived consignment of CYPRIPEDIUM SANDERIANUM, well-furnished with 
splendid green leaves, and in good order, including many very distinct-looking plants, with large broad leaves. These 
invite special attention. C. Sanderianum is a most distinct and lovely species—certainly one of the most extra- 
ordinary and beautiful of the genus. The petals are broad at the base, 18 to 20 inches in length, of a reddish- 
purple colour, mottled with a lighter hue, and the pouch is dark brownish-red. It is altogether a showy and 
remarkably fine new introduction. See Professor Reichenbach’s description in the Gardeners’ Chronicle, May 1, 
1886, p. 554; also illustration in Reichenbachia, t.3, Part I. It was awarded a First-class Certificate by the Royal 
Horticultural Society, September 21, 1886.

GRANDIFLORA, M. SPECTABILE RADIANS, PLEIONE, new species; SACCOLABIUM BLUMEI,
