One. Forhesii. — A truly handsome dwarf species from 

 Brazil : the flowers are large and veiy distinct, the colours 

 being yellow, scarlet, and white : it blooms in November. 

 This is a very rare plant : the only one I ever saw of it 

 was in Messrs. Rollisson's collection at Tooting, where it 

 was growing in a pot with peat. 



One. hcEmatochiliim. — A fine new^ species from Xew 

 Granada. A compact-growing plant, in the same way as 

 Lance anum ; sepals and petals greenish yellow blotched with 

 chestnut ; the lip a rich crimson and rose. A scarce Orcliid. 



One. incurvwn. — A pretty distinct Orchid from Mexico : 

 a dwarf species, producing white and red flowers during 

 the winter : lasts long in beauty, and is best grown in a 

 pot with peat. 



One. Laneeaniim. — A remarkably handsome, distinct 

 Orchid, from Guyana, with beautiful spotted foHage : the 

 flowers are large, and are produced on a stiff spike about a 

 foot or more high ; sepals and petals bright yellow blotched 

 with crimson ; the lip a lich violet. There are two 

 yaiieties of this plant; one has the lip almost white: it 

 blooms during the summer months, lasting four or five 

 weeks in good condition, if the flowers be kept free from 

 damp. This is best grown in a pot or basket, with moss or 

 peat, and makes a splendid plant for exhibition. We 

 showed one at Chiswick, in 1850, with fourteen spikes on 

 a single plant.

 from Mexico, producing spikes, sometimes as much as ten 

 feet long ; sepals and petals yellowish green, lip a pure
