A most beautiful free-flowering- species. The blossoms, produced 
from the nodes of the stems, are of a beautiful dark rose, the lip having 
two dark purple blotches, but of a lighter hue in the centre. This 
species should be of great service to the hybridist, its dwarf habit and 
distinct beautiful coloring giving it many advantages. 
Lot 
281 to 285 Four good imported plants 
Calanthe, Sanderiana and Vars. 
Splendid, deciduous, winter-blooming Calanthes, producing immense 
arching scapes of large, beautiful white and crimson blossoms. The 
sepals and petals are pure white, the lip varies, being sometimes crimson, 
rosy pink, or of different shades, with a darker eye ; but all alike are 
most beautiful and invaluable to the florist. It is easily grown and free 
flowering, the blossoms being long lasting, beautiful, and borne on tall 
scapes, so that wherever a useful decorative, handsome-flowered plant is 
required this Orchid is fully qualified. 
The plants offered should be potted at once. They will grow in 
any warm house, and with a little care a magnificent display may be 
obtained at Christmas.
