VANDA, Continued. 
V. teres. A very handsomu 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 arc pro- 
duced in ascending, mostly two-flowered, racemes; 
the coloring of the flowers is much like that in Phalw.- 
nopuvi SchiUcrianum, but of a heavier texture, and of 
great lasting substance. We offer several fine speci- 
mens, certainly the tinest 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 upijer leaves, which support short dense ra- 
cemes of the most charmingly colored fragrant flowers, 
lasting a long time iu perfection. Several flne large 
specimens, 2J^ to 3 feet; price on api)lication. 
ZTGOFETALUM Sedenii. A very distinct and showy 
hybriil (named in honor of Mr. Seden, who raised it), 
betw(!cn Z. mnxillarr, and X. MiirJtaiji, partaking in its 
growth mo.<tly 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 aciiuisition. A very finely es- 
tablished flowering specimen ; price on application.
