240 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
MILTONIA VEXILLARIA, DAISY HAYWOOD. 
This a white variety of great size and spotless purity, from the collection 
of T. B. Haywood, Esq., Woodhatch, Reigate, of which an eight-flowered 
raceme has been kindly forwarded. One of the flowers measured exactly 
three and a quarter inches across the lip. It received a First-class Certificate 
from the Royal Horticultural Society on July 25th, 1893, and on June 24th 
of the present year a Cultural Commendation was awarded to the magnifi- 
cent raceme just mentioned. The only colour in the flower is the light 
yellow disc. A spike of the typical form, with flowers of nearly equal size, 
was also included. 
VANDA TERES AUROREA. 
This beautiful variety appeared in 1881 in the collection of Mr. W. Bull, 
of Chelsea, and was described by Reichenbach (Gard. Chron., 1881, 1 
688) as having flowers snow white, with a light rosy hue on the anterior 
part of the lip, and some light yellow in its throat. It is near the variety 
candida (Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron., 1875, ii. p. 225) which, however, is 
described as being white with only the addition of a little yellow on the lip. 
The Orchid Album figure (vol. ix. t. 409) shows a distinct stain of pink on 
the front lobe of the lip, and, as it is not from the original plant, would 
appear to be var. aurofea, rather than candida. The fact is the name aurorea 
has been transferred to a form with a light suffusion of pale rose in the 
sepals and petals, though we must retain it in the sense in which it was 
first applied. A very fine plant has been flowered in the collection of 
Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool, producing three spikes on the 
same stem, the strongest bearing five flowers of great size and beauty, 
which have been kindly sent by Mr. Young. The petals are two inches 
across, the front lobe of the lip lightly suffused with pale rosy purple and 
the throat light yellow, the rest of the flower being pure white. It is a 
very charming variety. 
LALIA TENEBROSA, WALTON GRANGE VARIETY. 
This is the very distinct and beautiful variety from the collection of W. 
Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, Staff. (gr. Mr. Stevens), which 
received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
August 8th, 1893, and which was again exhibited on June 12th, last. Mr. 
Thompson has kindly sent a flower which shows the following characters. 
The sepals and petals are of a beautiful shade of light canary yellow or 
citron, and the lip white with a deep purple disc, from which extend a few 
lines towards the margin. It is a wonderfully distinct and most 
beste variety. The shape is naturally that of the typical form.
