VANOA SANDIiKIANA. 
VANDA, Continued. 
v. teres. A very handsome and distinct species of cu- 
rious aspect, being of a scrambling or climbing habit, 
the growth extending several feet in length. The 
stems as well as the leaves are terete or cylindrical 
and dark green; its beautiful large flowers are pro- 
duced in ascending, mostly two-flowerod, racemes; 
the coloring of the flowers is much like that in I'halm- 
rwpnix ScMUerianum, but of a heavier texture, and of 
great lasting substance. We offer several fine speci- 
mens, certainly the finest in cultivation ; prices on ap- 
plication. 
V. tricolor suavis superba. This is a most charming 
free-flowering species. A noble plant, even when not 
in bloom, with rich green distichous, lorate, channel- 
led, recurved leaves, bilobed ; the peduncles are axillary 
from the upper leaves, which support short dense ra- 
cemes of the most charmingly colored fragrant flowers, 
lasting a long time in perfection. Several fine large 
specimens, 33^ to 3 feet; price on application. 
ZTOOFETAIiUM Sedenii. A very distinct and showy 
hybrid (named in honor of Mr. Seden, who raised it), 
between Z. maxillare, and Z. Macltayi, partaking in its 
growth mostly of the character of the last-named or male 
parent. Its bold racemes of showy flowers, of a deep 
purplish brown and rich bluish purple, make it a very 
rare and most desirable acquisition. A very finely es- 
tablished flowering specimen ; price on application.
