All these plants have a fine robust habit, the foliage is ample and deco-

It was introduced last spring by the HorticutturE INTERNATIONALE, where 
‘it flowered for the first time in June. It is a native of the Philippine Islands. 
Exhibited at a Meeting of the OrcuipEeNNE, on June 16", it obtained great 
success, and the Jury unanimously awarded it a First-Class Diploma of Honour. 
It is with a particular pleasure that we have seized the opportunity of 
. dedicating a new Orchid to M. Georce Mantin, the eminent French amateur, 
whose collection, at the Castle of Bel-Air, near Olivet, is famed for its richness 
and variety. M. Mantin is one of the Orchidists who do not merely collect and 
cultivate the representative of the tropical flora for the pleasure of the eyes, but 
who study and wish to know them thoroughly. Nothing concerning Orchids is 
indifferent to him, and in his hot-houses, we may admire, next splendid gorgeous 
flowers such as his superb hybrid Cattleya x Mantini, more modest and less 
familiar flowers, or rustic Cypripedium, which he has been the first to set the 
example of crossing with Indian species.
