D. WARDIANUM GIGANTEUM, TFiZimms ei Jfoore.— A magnificent variety of 

 this grand Orchid, altogether stouter in all its parts than the type, as first intro- 

 duced. It sometimes produces growths as much as 5 feet in length and of great 

 thickness, and is altogether more vigorous in its habit as well as more erect in its 

 mode of growth than the original D. Wardianum. The flowers are of the same 

 colours, and similarly marked, but larger, and of stouter substance. It blooms 

 during the winter and spring months. — Surmah.
