THE DARK-EYED FRINGED DENDROBE (DENDRO- 

 BIUM FIMBRIATUM ; VAR. OCULATUM). 



A stove Epiphyte of great beauty from the East 

 Indies, belonging to Orchids. Of this most beautiful 

 plant our gardens contain two distinct varieties : one 

 with whole-coloured flowers, the other with a deep 

 rich pitch-brown spot in the middle of the lip. In 

 both the colour is otherwise of a rich apricot-yellow, 

 rendered the more brilliant in consequence of the 

 surface and edge of the lip being cut up into glitter- 

 ing points innumerable.
