PHAL.a:NOPSIS. 
In popular estimation this is the grandest genus 
among all tlie Orchids, and its magnificent flowers do 
indeed outshine all others. The plants are of singular 
lialiit and liirdlike appearance when looking at them 
suspended upon rafts, blocks or baskets, with their 
beautiful leaves, some of which are of rich olive green, 
wliile others are whitish, mottled and marbled, on a, 
brown green ground ; all the leaves are of a -very fleshy 
texture. In cultivating a number of different species 
some may be had in bloom the year 'round. The flow- 
ers are produced upon long, branching scapes 
wliich proceed from the axils of the leaves near the 
base, there being no pseudo-bulbs to tliis Orchid. The 
flowers come in great profusion, more than 300 having 
been counted on a single plant ; the color of these beau- 
tiful and delicate flowers and their construction is most 
wonderful. The plants need constant high temperature, 
and during their growing season, from March to Octo- 
ber, require plenty of moisture. Fibrous peat, charcoal, 
potsherds and live sphagnum moss are what they delight 
to grow in. 
P. amabilis $2 50, $3 50 and $5 00 
/iP. amabilis Dayana. This is a beautiful 
and very distinctly marked variety of P. 
amabilis, from which it differs in its flow- 
ers being larger and tlie two lower sepals 
thickly dotted with carmine; tlie side 
iohes of the lip at the lower edge are of 
deep yellow, heavily marked with carmine 
crimson across tlie base of tlie hastate 
lobe, and a distinct stripe of tlie same 
color down its center $15 00 to 20 00

AP. grandiilora. A truly handsome and 
noble Orchid, second to none of wliicli we 
know. It resembles P. amahilis, but has 
larger leaves and flowers, besides there be- 
ing more yellow and less rose color in this 
than in /■*. aiiiahilis. Its flower steins are 
tinted with purple, and it blooms at differ- 
ent periods of the year. A grand exliilii- 
tion Orchid, as it lasts a long time in per- 
fection. Several fine, strong speci-

scapes or peduncles, covered with upwards 
of 100 charming Idossoms of the most deli- 
cate mauve and rosy pink, spotted with red- 
dish brown, give it a queenly and fairy like 
appearance. This, lieing a member of the 
East India section, requires a hot and moist 
atmosphere. (Jrand specimens, with large
