anda Parisii bears the name of the well-known traveller to whom we 
are indebted for so much valuable contributions to the flora of tropical 
Asia, and by whom it was first introduced in 1862. The species was 
lost sight off shortly afterwards, and re-appeared in the gardens only eight years 
later, through an importation of Messrs Hucu Low & C°. 
It is a native of Moulmein, and is apparently somewhat rare in its natural 
state, having always been imported in small quantities. A few plants only of it 
are to be found in the great collections. 
The variety Mariottiana is far more richly coloured and more highly appre- 
ciated than the type, and one of the gems of the indian house. It flowered for 
the first time and was described in 1880. Its story was recently traced by the 
well-known italian amateur, Mr. J. Ross, in a letter directed to the Fournal des 
Orchidées. 
Le Vanda Parishi porte le nom du célébre explorateur auquel sont dues tant 
de précieuses découvertes dans la flore asiatique, et qui l’introduisit pour la 
premiére fois en 1862. L’espéce fut perdue peu de temps aprés, et ne fit sa 
réapparition dans les cultures qu’en 1870, grace 4 une importation de MM. Hucu 
Low et C°. Elle est originaire du Moulmein, ot elle est probablement assez 
rare A l’état naturel, car elle n’a jamais été importée en grandes quantités et
