country, who has just returned from a successful mission with a consider- 
able number of epiphytes which are new to our gardens.” The latter was 
sent from Brazil by Mr. Hayne, and flowered in the collection of the 
Countess Amherst, at Montreal, in September, 1834. The genus was named 
in compliment to the Right Hon. Lord Grey of Groby, “a munificent 
patron of Horticulture, and a most zealous cultivator of Orchideous 
epiphytes.” 
Oncidium alien (t. 1699) now appeared in cultivation for the first 
time, being “‘ procured in a living state by Richard Harrison, Esq., from 
whom the beautiful specimen now figured was received in March last.” A 
note by Lindley shows the progress being made in Orchid culture. Speaking 
_ of the attempts being made to cultivate the plants in something like their 
native atmosphere, he added :—‘‘ That this is attended with very great 
success in obvious from the numerous splendid specimens which are from 
time to time appearing in the collections of Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Grey of 
Groby, The Messrs. Harrison, Bateman, Huntley, Loddiges, and Knight, 
and the Horticultural Society.” 
Other species new to cultivation figured in the work are :—Monachan- 
thus discolor (t. 1735), introduced from Demerara by Mr. Colley, and 
flowered in Mr. Bateman’s collection ; Liparis guineensis (t. 1671), a native 
of Sierra Leone, which flowered in the Horticultural Society’s garden ; 
Acanthophippium bicolor (t. 1730), a remarkable Ceylon plant from the 
same collection; Dendrobium aggregatum (t. 1695), which flowered in the 
collections of Mr. Bateman and Mr. Richard Harrison; the handsome 
Madeiran Orchis foliosa (t. 1701) which flowered with Messrs. Young & 
Penny, of Milford, near Godalming; and Catasetum luridum (t. 1667) 
which flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, in September, 1833, and _ shortly 
afterwards with Mrs. Arnold Harrison who died before the figure 
was published, for Lindley speaks of ‘‘ our amiable and much lamented 
coirespondent, the late Mrs. Arnold Harrison, whose truly splendid 
collection of Orchideous epiphytes has been added to the stock of Mr. 
Knight, of the Kings Road.” 
The year 1835 was marked by the appearance of at least two Orchids 
which are still among the most popular inmates of our houses, namely 
Vanda teres and Lelia anceps, both of which were figured in the twenty- 
first volume of the Botanical Register, together with no less than twenty- 
eight other species of various kinds, the majority of which were new. 
Vanda teres (t. 1809) was one of the numerous species of which living 
plants were brought to England by Dr. Wallich, on one of his visits home, 
and the drawing was prepared from a plant that flowered in the Duke of 
Northumberland’s collection at Syon House, and was described as a 
‘‘ superb epiphyte.” Lelia anceps (t. 1751} was imported from Mexico by
