P. "JOHN SEDEN," J?o7/e.— Of all the hybrid PhaUenopsis raised by 

 Mr. Seden this is undoubtedly one of the finest, and has deservedly been 

 dedicated to its raiser. It is the result of a cross between P. Luddemanniana 

 and P. grandiflora. The flowers measure 3 inches across ; sepals ovate- 

 lanceolate, the lateral ones oblique ; petals much broader, obovate ; sepals, 

 petals, and lip ivory-white, covered over the whole surface with minute dots of 

 purple ; lip three-lobed, lateral lobes fleshy ; mid-lobe diamond- shaped, the 

 upturned apex provided with two awl-shaped tendrils ; ground colour of lip 

 pale rose densely dotted with purple. — Garden hybrid.
