a spike. This form is sometimes called variety giganteum. Its difference 
is not due to good culture, for a photograph of the ordinary form is 
enclosed, a strong, healthy plant, bearing eight flowers, two being on 
twin-flowered spikes, but all normal in size. 
Several beautiful Dendrobiums are sent from the collection. of R. 
Brooman White, Esq., of Arddarroch, N. B. It includes D. ‘nobile 
nobilius, and a still finer, richly-coloured form, which has appeared as an 
imported plant, and nearly rivals D. n. Hardyanum in size, the petals 
being over thirteen lines broad, and the lip still larger. There is also a 
verv fine D. Wardianum with three-flowered raceme; a seedling from D. 
nobile crossed with D. signatum, which, of course, is D. x Wiganie ; 
D. X Aspasia and D. X Dominyanum; a very promising, rosy seedling 
from D. X splendidissimum grandiflorum and D. nobile nobilius, and two 
or three other interesting forms. 
Two good rose-coloured forms of Odontoglossum crispum are also 
enclosed, one of them being very large, and bearing numerous small purple 
spots and dots on the petals; also O. citrosmum, with its beautiful variety 
roseum, and a nearly pure white form. 
An exceptionally fine form of the beautiful Oncidium Phalzenopsis is 
sent from the collection of Major Gen. C. B. Lucie-Smith, The Acacias, 
Worthing. The flowers measure 2 inches across the broadest diameter, and 
the lip is 1} inches wide. The spray sent bears four flowers, beautifully 
marked with purple on the sepals, petals, and base of the lip, on a white 
ground, 
A remarkable flower of Cattleya intermedia composed only of two sepals, 
two lips, and a straight column without any anther, is sent by Mrs. Barton, 
of High Bickington, N. Devon. A similar flower from the collection of 
E. Ashworth, Esq., is mentioned at page 189 of our last volume. 
A very pretty form of Cattleya intermedia with the sepals, petals and side 
lobes of the lip rose-pink is sent from the collection of Dr. Macbean, of 
Lancaster. It is near to the original form of the species, figured at t. 2851 
of the Botanical Magazine, but paler in colour. Two good forms of Lelia 
purpurata are also enclosed. 
A large and handsomely marked form of Odontoglossum Hallii comes 
from the collection of H. Brittan Evans, Esq., of Clifton, together with a 
pretty form of Bifrenaria Harrisoniz with white sepals and petals, and 
Bifrenaria Hadwenii, which for some reason has only now flowered after five 
years growing. _ |
