DENDROBIUM FINDLAYANUM PROLIFEROUS. 
A plant of Dendrobium Findlayanum in the collection of O. O. Wrigley, 
Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, is flowering in a remarkably abnormal way. The 
racemes are produced in the usual way, but the buds are globose, about 
one-eighth of an inch in diameter, and the segments are represented by 
small green scales surrounding the abortive column, and refuse to develop 
further. Mr. Wrigley thought the spikes were deformed until he examined 
several with a lens, and found that all the parts of the flower were present, 
though very minute. Last year they were perfectly identical in character, 
but the plant seems perfectly healthy and normal in other respects. It was 
purchased as an imported piece with other plants of D. Findlayanum, and 
is instructive in connection with the development of an Orchid flower, 
though, from a decorative point, it has nothing to recommend it.
