Phalenopsis Sanderiana, which is of recent introduction, and was discovered. by 
one of Messrs. Sander and Co.'s collectors on one of the islands of the Eastern 
Archipelago, has been named by Professor Reichenbach after the head of that firm, 
Mr. F. Sander. It is generally considered to be a natural cross between P. 
amabilis and P. Schilleriana. In its manner of growth and general habit it takes 
very much after P. amabilis, as a glance at the accompanying plate will show. 
The general outline of the flower also is that of P. amabilis, but the sepals and 
petals, instead of being white as in that species, are flushed with a pleasing rose 
colour, which in the best varieties becomes a deep rosy purple; the lip is white, 
marked with purple stripes, the side. lobes being bordered with yellow, and the 
crest spotted with cinnamon-brown. It flowers during the summer and autumn months, 
and is worthy of a place in every collection. 
It requires the same treatment as that recommended for P. amabilis, under 
Plate 11 of our first volume. 
OpontocLossum Uro-Skinnert.—Edward Salt, Esq., Ferniehurst, Shipley, has — 
forwarded us a spike of a grand variety of this old Orchid, in which the sepals 
and petals are heavily marked with brown,-and the lip is unusually high-coloured, 
being of a bright rose-purple, with scarcely any white markings. The effect of 
this bright colour in combination with the dark-coloured sepals and petals is very 
fine. We must congratulate Mr. Salt upon obtaining such a beautiful variety —_
