Oncidium Marshallianum. 



Oncidium Marshallianum. — No matter 

 what novelties appear in the front ranks of 

 the Chelsea Show groups there are always 

 many decorative Oncidiums to be seen in the 

 background. Without them there would 

 be a heavy and unattractne appearance, 

 while many corners would entirely lose 

 their brightness. No Oncidium excels O. 

 Marshallianum with its graceful spikes of 

 bright golden-yellow fiowers, large m size 

 and lasting in perfection over a considerable 

 period. This species was originally introduced 

 by Messrs. Low & Co. in 1865, through their 

 collector Ijlunt, and is dedicated to Mr. Wm. 

 Marshall, for many years the chairman of the 

 R.H.S. Floral Committee, and at one time 

 an exhibitor of Orchids. 



|S 



DendrobiuM DIXANTHUM. — This pleasing 

 species has recently been well flowered by 

 Messrs. Stuart Low and Co., who ha\e a 

 varied collection of rare Dendrobes in their 

 establishment at Jarvisbrook, Sussex. It was 

 the Rev. C. Parish who first made known this 

 plant to Messrs. Low and Co., in 1 864, and at 

 a later date Major-General E. S. Berkeley 

 described how he invariably found it growing 

 with D. albo-sanguineum on the tops of lofty 

 trees. The specific name refers to the two 

 shades of yellow observable in the flower.
