OrcHID NOMENCLATURE.—It is admitted by many Orchidists that 
names are too freely given to Orchid varieties. Names are bestowed 
upon varieties in which “ an extra spot can be discovered,” because it 1s 
said it gives them ‘‘a commercial value,” and the most trifling variation is. 
thought sufficient to merit a designation. This is the chief evil in Orchid 
nomenclature, and ought to be checked. The fact is that much disappoint 
ment has already been caused to many persons by the unrestricted 
indulgence in this practice, and its continuance will do more harm to the 
Orchid interest than some suppose.—L.C. in Journal of Horticulture.
