D. HEYNEANUM, Lindley. — A charming deciduous species furnished with erect 

 clavate stems, 6 to 8 inches high, which bear linear-lanceolate leaves, and produce 

 from their upper part at different times of the year lateral racemes of several 

 small white flowers, that have somewhat the appearance of sprigs of white-thoru ; 

 the lip is greenish-yellow beautifully streaked with violet. It is best grown on 

 a block, with a moderate supply of moisture during the growing season. It 

 continues about ten days in perfection.— irec^ia ; Western Peninsula.

D. INFUNDIBULUM, Lindley. — A species of the nigro-hirsute section, of great 

 beaut}'', distributed in the first place under the name of B. moulmeinense, and 

 resembling jD. formosum in habit of growth and in flower, but with more slender 

 stems, li to 2 feet high, which are terete, with lanceolate acute unequally bi-lobed 

 leaves, and glorious flowers, which sometimes measure 4 inches across, and, like 

 those of its allies, are remarkable for their very broad petals ; the sepals and 

 petals are pure white, the serrulate lip white, having in the throat of its funnel- 

 shaped base a large blotch of deep golden-yellow. The flowers are produced in 

 great profusion from the top of the stems during the summer, and last flve to six 

 weeks in perfection. It will be most useful for supplying cut flowers for 

 decorative purposes. — Moulmein.

D. INFUNDIBULUM CARNEOPTICUM, BM. /.—A very distinct variety of 

 B. infundiiulum, introduced by us from Burmah, in which the blotch on the lip, 

 a broad central line, and a few streaks on the sides, are of a pretty flesh colour ; 

 whence, observes Professor Reiohenbach, " I propose to give it the above- 

 mentioned name." He adds : " The B. Jamesianum, Rchb. f., is not dis- 

 tinguished from B. infundibulum, Lindl., by the red paint on its lip, but by 

 the side lobes of the lip being covered with asperities, and by the distinct shape 

 of the lip itself." — Burmah. 



D. JAMESIANUM, BcUh. f. — ^This is a very flne nigro-hirsute species, named 

 in honour of the late Mr. James Veitch. It is in the way of B. infundibulum, 

 and is considered by many to be a variety of it. The stems grow from 1 foot 

 to 1^ foot high ; the flowers are nearly as large as those of B. formoaum, pure 

 white, except that the lip is deeply stained with cinnabar-red. It blooms during
