the kind just named, the lip in the present form being a rich crimson. This 

 was bloomed first by the late E. S. Holford, Esq., Weston Birt, Gloucestershire 

 in compliment to whom it is named. — India.

S. HENDERSONIANUM, Bahb. f. — This small compact-growing species is 

 very distinct, and makes a pretty subject either for basket or block. The 



ligulate keeled distichous leaves are 

 about 6 inches long, of a lively green, 

 and the erect racemes are produced from 

 the axils of the leaves, and bear numerous 

 flowers, which are of a beautiful rose 

 colour, with a compressed white lip, 

 reduced to little besides the spur. 

 R. H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham, 

 grows this plant to great perfection, and 

 flowers it freely. — Borneo.

S. MINIATUM, Undl.—A pretty dis- 

 tinct small-growing Orchid, not so showy 

 as some of the other species, but well 

 deserving attention on account of its 

 distinct colour. It has short erect 

 stems, clothed with lorate channelled 

 distichous leaves obliquely truncate at 

 the apex, and short spreading cylin- 

 draceous racemes of small but gay red-orange flowers, which are produced in 

 March and April, and last three weeks in beauty. This will do well on a 

 block of wood without moss. A variety called CITRINUM, said to be from the 

 Philippine Islands, has the flowers of a lemon-yellow with a dark centre, which 

 probably indicates the mouth of the spur. —Java.

S. PECHEI, Bchh.f. — This, according to the late Professor Reichenbach, is 

 a singular novelty, having broad ligulate leaves, blunt, bilobed at the apex, 

 7 inches long and 2 inches broad ; the flowers resemble those of the calceolare 

 group, but have the anterior blade of lip entire; the sepals and petals are 

 ochre-coloured with red spots ; the blade of the lip is nearly white, and there 

 are a few red spots at the yellow base of the spur. — Burmah. 



S. PRAEMORSUNI, Sort. — A very lovely form, which would appear to be 

 one of the many variations referred to by Reichenbach under his Bhynohostylis 

 retusa. The leaves are stout and fleshy, broad, dark green, praemorse at the
