Masdevallia 



may oblige again in autumn. New Granada. 

 1869. 



Many varieties of Harryana are so rare tliat it is 

 scarcely worth while to name them. The following 

 can always he obtained : — 



H. Bidl's blood. — Richest of all in hue. 10s. 6d. 



„ coerulcsccns (bluish). — Very large crimson 

 flowers, with a bluish tint. 5s. 



„ conchiflora (shell-flower). — Distinguished by 

 its shell-like form, whence the name. Singularly 

 graceful. Is. 6d. 



„ lilacina. — Rosy lilac. 5s. 



„ Lindeni (M. Linden, Belgian horticulteur). — 

 Crimson, but washed with blue. In the strange 

 lack of that colour among orchids, some desperate 

 persons have called this " The Blue Masdevallia." 

 It would be as reasonable to describe a black 

 Zulu as purple, because in certain lights his 

 skin has a purplish bloom. But one of the 

 most attractive varieties. Summer. New Granada.
