To these garden Roses two welcome additions have 

 recently "been made, albeit they are single — Paul's 

 Crimson and White Perpetual. These Roses, though 

 so opposite in colour, are both alike furnished with 

 yellow stamens that add very much to their distinct- 

 ness and beauty. The wholn of the White Hybrid Per- 

 petual Roses should also be reckoned among the 

 very best for the garden; and, indeed, few or none 

 are sufficiently full to be included among show

 Lyon, are all snorts from Baroness Rothschild, and

 white Roses for the garden. 



ORCHIDS. 



Bt William Huuh Gowek. 



Huntleya.— This genus was named, upwards of 

 forty years ago, in honour of the Rev. Thomas 

 Huntley, who was a, most enthusiastic lover of 

 plants. The genus, however, is still very little 

 understood, for this, together with Bollea, Pescatoria, 

 Warscewiczella, Jf'arrea, Zygopetalum-, and Batemaiiia, 

 are very much jumbled together, and it is very 

 difiicult to strictly define their distinctions. 



Huntleyas and their relatives have been somewhat 

 uncertain plants, and have rather puzzled the culti- 

 vator to keep them alive for many years. Even 

 where they grow and flower profusely, they have a 

 bad habit of casting their leaves from the previous 

 years' growths, so that it is not often that one sees 

 very large specimens. These plants must never be 

 allowed to suffer from drought, for although during 

 our dull winter days less moisture is necessary, it 

 must never be entirely withheld. In potting, rough 

 fibrous peat should be used without sphagntim, and 

 this only as a thin covering to the roots, the pot 

 being filled with drainage. They are found growing 

 at some 6,000 to 8,000 feet elevation, oftentimes in 

 the company of Tric/iopilins, Pihwmas, and similar 

 plants, and should be kept at the cool end of the 

 Brazilian House. 



JS. albido-fidva. — This plant has always been 

 scarce. It produces broad ligulate leaves, which are 

 dark green above, paler below, and arranged in a 

 distichous manner. Peduncles erect, one-flowered; 

 sepals and petals oblong-acuminate, sub-equal, the 

 basal half white, the tips tawny-yellow. Lip white 

 tipped with rosy-red, crested at the base. Summer 

 months. Brazil. 



IT. cerina. — The name of Waxy Huntleya is most 

 applicable for this species. It was originally dis- 

 covered by that veteran amongst plant collectors, 

 Warscewicz, in 1851, growing- in abundance on the 

 volcanic mountain of Chiriqui, in the company of a 

 host of Tric/iopilias, at nearly 8,000 feet elevation. 

 The leaves are arranged in a two-ranked manner, 

 they are oblong-acuminate, narrow, 9 to 12 inches 

 long, and deep green ; peduncle erect, shorter than 

 the leaves, one-flowered. Flowers large, thick and 

 waxy, upwards of three inches in diameter. Sepals 

 and petals nearly equal, thick and fleshy, and of a 

 uniform very pale straw-colour. Li]^ ovate, rich 

 yellow, ornamented near the base with a lunate 

 fringe, composed of numerous raised plates. It 

 flowers during spring and early summer, lasting long 

 in full beauty. Central America. 



louopsis. — A small genus of very beautiful epi- 

 phytes, very nearly allied to Burlingtonia. The name
