SACCOIiABIUM. A most interesting epiphytal stove 
Orchid. It is of very ornamental habit, growing 
erect, with leaves opposite, and long fleshy roots which 
proceed from the axi'ls of the lower leaves. The flow- 
ers, which are produced on long densely set pendulous 
racemes, are of various beautiful colors, and most of 
them are deliciously sweet scented, and remain a long 
time in perfection. They require the same treatnient 
as the Vandas and Aerides, and need all the light it Is 
possible to give them.

VANDA. A genus of epiphytal East India Orchids. 
The Vandas are all of very distinct habit, nearly all 
the species having a very characteristic and uoble bear- 
ing, and even when not in bloom, present a quite deco- 
« prices are omillejl in this list, tlicy may be had 
rative appearance. The flowers are of peculiar but- 
terfly form, and of gxeat beauty; very showy and 
highly scented, with a most delicious odor. All but a 
few species require regular East India house tempera- 
ture, and do well in pots or baskets in pots herds, char- 
coal and sphagnum moss. They delight in sending out 
their fleshy roots from the axils of the lower leaves. 
During their growing season they should have abund- 
ance of water, while in the winter very little will suffice.
