P. HYBRIDUS GRAVESII, Bolfe.— This was also raised by N. C. Cookson, Esq., 

 and is the inverted cross of the preceding. " The general habit and shape of 

 flower is much like that of P. Wallichii ; the flower 5 inches across, the sepals 

 and petals cinnamon-brown in front and white behind, and the lip white with a 

 yellow keel, and rose-pink in front." It flowered in the collection of H. Graves, 

 Esq., of Orange, New Jersey, to whom it is dedicated. — Garden hybrid.

P. MACULATUS, Lindl. — A very handsome species, by far too much neglected 

 by the majority of Orchid growers, being of a very showy character during the 

 spring months. The pseudobulbs are large, ovate, oblong ; the leaves are ovate- 

 lanccolatc acuminate, plicate, dark green spotted with yellow ; the scapes are 

 2 feet or more in height springing from the side of the bulbs, and bearing a 

 raceme of ten or twelve flowers, which are yellow, the lip involutely cylindrical, 

 fleshy, with a blunt spur, three-lobed in front, the middle lobe plicate-crenate 

 streaked with reddish-brown at the edge. There are two varieties of this plant, 

 the best one being very showy and desirable. — Norlhern India ; Japan.

P. PHILIPPINENSIS, N. E. Brown.— This new species appears to be the first 

 that has been recorded from the Philippine Islands, and was introduced by 

 Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons. "The pseudobulbs are 1| to 2 inches long, cylindrical ; 

 leaves petiolate, 10 to 20 inches long, IJ to 2 inches broad, lanceolate, acuminate, 

 plicate, bright green ; scape about as long as the leaves ; . . . . flowers 

 2J inches in expanse ; sepals and petals oblong-lanceolate, sub-acute, the petals 

 a little narrower than the sepals, all flat, spreading, and directed upwards, of 

 good substance, white outside, reddish orange-brown inside with a narrow 

 yellow edge ; lip 1 to IJ inch long, trumpet-shaped with a truncate mouth ; 

 the margin recurved, crenate, and more or less frilled, but not three-lobed 

 inside ; . . . . spur almost wanting, reduced to a very small, blunt chin " 

 (N. E. Brown in Gardeners' Chronicle, 3rd scr., 1889, vi. p. 239.) — Mindanao, 

 Philippine Islands. 



P. ROSEUS, Bolfe. — Said to be a very distinct plant, collected by the Earl 

 of Scarborough, with whom it flowered in December, 1892. Its habitat is not 

 known with certainty, but it is believed to be of West Tropical African origin. 

 "The flowers are of a delicate rose shade, the lip somewhat marbled with white 

 spots, the disk with a white hairy fleshy keel and a minute tooth at the apex 

 and the spur deep yellow. In fading the flowers pass to a light orange-buff 

 shade" {Kew Bulletin, 1893, p. 6).— West Tropical Africa (?)
