ZYQOPBTALUM 
W. discolor. — One of the best because of its 
many flowers. Scapes 6 inches long, with the 
sheathing bracts generally seen in this genus. 
Flowers white tinged with rosy-lilac on the 
petals and purplish-rose on the lip. Costa Rica. 
W. discolor atroccerulea. — A fine variety for 
which Messrs. Sander of St. Albans received 
an award of merit at the Royal Horticultural 
Society. Flowers white, petals tinged with 
violet, lip dark purplish-violet. This plant is 
finely figured in the coloured plate, under its 
generic name of Zygopetalum. 
W. marginata. — Flowers white, with a deep 
rose margin to the lip and a purple disc. Syn. 
Warrea quadrata. Central America. 
W. picta. — Allied to W. discolor. Sepals 
greenish, petals white ; lip yellowish with pur- 
ple lines upon the margin. Tropical America. 
W. velata. — Sepals and petals white tipped 
with green ; lip white with a broad rosy mar- 
gin and rosy lines on the disc.

violet disk to the lip, which is concave. Sepals

white flowers, the type having a broad rosy- 
purple band down the lip, and the variety dis- 
color a blue band. Costa Rica. 
HuNTLEYA. — This scction is one of 
the oldest, and most of its members may 
be grouped around H. Meleagris., seeing 
that they differ httle save in the size 
and colour of their flowers, indeed it 
is an open question whether most of 
them should not be considered as forms 
of that species. All those in cultivation 
have star-shaped wax-like flowers, vary- 
ing in the different species from 2 to 
6 inches across. Most of them have 
longer rhizomes separating the growths 
than in the Bolleas, this being traceable 
totheirfondnessfortree-climbing. Cul- 
ture as forWarczewiczella. Species: — 
H. albido-fuha. — Flowers 3 inches across, 
yellowish marked with brown. Brazil. 
H. Burtii. — Flowers 4 inches across, the 
segments whitish at the base, yellow outwardly 
and bearing many raised chestnut - brown 
blotches, the petals also bearing purple mark- 
ings on a white ground at the base. Costa 
Rica. 
H. Gustavi. — Flowers yellow with trans- 
verse reddish blotches on the petals ; sepals 
tinged with reddish-brown. A small species 
found by Wallis in New Granada, the singular 
and little known H. apiculata being from the 
same region. 
H. Meleagris. — The type species. Flowers 
4 inches across, yellow heavily blotched with 
red-brown. Base of petals white with short 
purple lines. Tip white with chestnut-red 
apricot half. Brazil.

are the finest of the forms of H. Meleagris^ 
the largest having flowers 6 inches across, yel- 
low marked with reddish-brown and with pur- 
ple lines on white at the base of the petals, as 
is peculiar to this section. 
BoLLEA. — A small group of Orchids 
in which the scape bears only a single 
flower. The sepals and petals are broad 
and the lip rounded and shortly clawed, 
with a prominent fleshy crest on the 
disk and a short thick column. There 
are few kinds, all from tropical America.

red.
