tins, it is a cheap plant, so tliat everyone having a cool house can procure and grow 

 it without much expense or trouble. Our drawing was taken from a specimen 

 which flowered in the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries. 



Codogyne harhata is, as we have just said, an evergreen plant, with short 

 pseudobulbs and stout foliage, which grows about a foot long, and is of a lively 

 green colour. The sepals and petals are white ; the lip is sepia-brown, distinctly 

 bearded with long fringes of coloured hairs, which give it a very distinct and 

 quaint appearance, the fringe and beard contrasting very strongly with the white 

 sepals and petals. It blooms during the autumn months, and continues flowering 

 for a long time, if the flowers are kept' free from damp. The plant should, 

 therefore, be placed at the dry end of the house when in bloom, or be removed to 

 a drier house than that in which it has been grown. We find it to grow well in 

 a pot, if allowed perfect drainage, and planted in rough fibrous peat, allowing it a 

 moderate supply of water during the growing season, but reducing the quantity 

 when the plant is at rest. 



There were three very interesting New Orchids exhibited by Sir T. Lawrence, 

 Bart., M.P., at the meeting of the Eoyal Horticultural Society on April 22nd last, 

 all being remarkably distinct and pretty : — 



Angr^ecum FASTT70SUM.— The growth of this species is somewhat similar to that 

 of A. articulatum, but the leaves are rounder and broader. The spikes are short 

 and drooping, the flowers pure white, sweet-scented, with the lip larger than the 

 petals ; very distinct. 



OdoxtoglossUxM cinnamomeum.— a new species, much resembling the true and 

 rare 0. odoratum. The sepals and petals are, however, broader, and the markings 

 are much denser ; the Up is yellow, with a large brownish crimson blotch in the 

 centre, and the margin faintly spotted with the same colour, the whole surface 

 being covered with fine downy hairs ; very strongly scented. 



Dexdrobium Haeveya^um.— This is a great surprise, being in the way of 



Dendrohium Brymerianum, but it has this peculiarity, that the petals are fringed 



in the same way as the lip, thus practically giving to the flower the appearance"" of 



three lips instead of one, although somewhat modified. The flowers are smaller than 



those of D. Brymerianum, but the plant resembles it in growth ; and, indeed, 



it was imported with that species, so that possibly it may be a sport from it, 



which has become fixed. ■ This plant has been named in honour of E. Harvey, 



Esq., Riversdale Eoad, Aigburth, Liverpool, in whose collection it first bloomed —
