‘time, and showing two lower sepals instead of one. The two sepals are 
well-shaped, greenish, with a darker line in the centre.” The peculiarity 
seems permanent, for the plant has flowered twice since, and on both 
occasions the three lateral sepals were repeated. It has been observed in 
other hybrids and in some of the species.

International Spring Orchid Show will be held from May 7th to 9th next,

held at Dusseldorf, if not larger. A grand Hall will be at the disposal of 
exhibitors, and everything will be done to make the exhibition a great
