of Messrs. Lucren Linpen & C?, at Moortebeek, among the Colombian impor- 
tations from which so many choice plants have already been derived. So 
far as size is concerned the variety grandiflorum is far superior to the type, 
and has besides a more highly coloured lip. It adds a fresh lustre to this charming 
species which will without a doubt become greatly sought after for its cut bloom 
by collectors and amateurs when it becomes better known and more abundant. 
OBITUARY. 
It is not to France alone that the sorrow and deep regret caused by the death 
of Madame Furrapo-HEInE are confined. Her unbounded charity, glorious in its impar- 
tiality, has been productive of good in all quarters, and has excited universal admiration. 
The philanthropic institutions, to which she has devoted not only the capital necessary 
to establish them on a solid basis, but also the revenue requisite to maintain their 
efficiency, will transmit her name to posterity. 
Here we have souvenirs to which no one can remain indifferent, being as they are 
an honour to mankind. Perhaps we may be permitted to add that Madame Furrapo- 
HEINE, took a keen interest in Orchids, and that we feel honoured in being able to 
count her among the number of Patrons of Horticulture, and also among the subscribers 
to our different publications. In this we seem to be able to trace another mark of her 
great sympathy for everything indicating progress and work, as well as for those in 
suffering. 
We desire to offer our sincere condolences to one of her nearest relatives, M. CarRDAzO, 
whose name is already known to our readers, and whose devoted attachment was so 
highly cherished to the last moment by the deceased.
