DENDROBIUM THYRSIFLORUM. 
THE annexed illustration represents a very beautiful specimen of Den- 
drobium thyrsiflorum from the collection of Walter C. Clarke, Esq., 
Orleans House, Sefton Park, Liverpool, and is reproduced from a 
photograph sent by Mr. Clarke. How many racemes it bears we have no 
record, and probably larger plants exist, but it affords an example of 
what the species is capable of when well grown, and any one can imagine 
the effect produced by such a specimen, the graceful racemes of white 
flowers being set off to such advantage by the deep golden-yellow lips. 
Fic. 7. DENDROBIUM THYRSIFLORUM. 
This species seems particularly well adapted for specimen plants, as, with 
ordinary care, it goes on increasing from year to year, and flowers profusely 
in the spring—the only drawback it possesses is that the flowers do not last 
as long as those of several other species. It isa native of Burma, including 
the Shan States, and is most nearly allied to the Himalayan D. 
densiflorum, which may be distinguished by its rather dwarfer habit 
and the yellow sepals and petals,
