BENSROCHILTTM. A small genus consisting of plants 
of graceful habit, having small pseudo-bulbs and nar- 
row evei'green leaves. The flower spikes, which pro- 
ceed from the top of the bulbs in an arching manner, 
are eight to ten inches in length, covei-ed all over with 
hundreds of densely set miniature flowers of a light 
straw color and most deliciously sweet scented. They 
bloom in winter, and the flowers remain a long time in 
perfection. These plants do best in fibrous iieat and 
moss, with plentj' of good drainage. 
D. filiformis .S4 00 to $6 00 
D. glumaceum 3 50 to 3 50 
GALE ADDBA. These plants are deciduous and epiphy- 
tal, with erect slender terete stems, from the top of 
which they produce their very odd and interesting 
flowers, most of which are very showy and of lasting 
quality. They are best cultivated in peat, with good 
drainage and a liberal supply of water when growing.

GOODT£BA discolor. A very pretty dwarf-growing 
terrestrial Orchid, with handsome foliage of a dark 
velvety rich color, striped and veined of light colors. 
The flower spikes issue from between the leaves ; it 
does well in small pots or pans. Requires plenty of 
moisture when growing; best of the genus. ^3to$3..50. 
GBAIOIATOPHTLLUM ElUsu. This is one of the 
most remarkable Oix-hids in cultivation, and should be 
in every collection; it is deciduous, of large and 
vigorous growth and of distinct habit; requires plenty 
of room, and is best grown in pots with peat and lib- 
eral drainage. The large flowers are produced on 
branching spikes of good size, and are interesting, 
lasting a long time In perfection. $5 to $10. 
PAPHINIA. Of this rare and pretty genus we have but 
few species. They are of compact habit, having short 
pseudo-bulbs, plicate leaves, much like those of the 
Calanthes, bearing highly intex'estingrichsolitai'y flow- 
ers on pendulous scapes. The flowers are very fra- 
grant, of a peculiar odor. Certainly very curiously 
shaped, and of a combination of very odd colors. They 
are easily grown in fibrous peat and moss, with a lib- 
eral supply of water when making their growth; a 
meritorious class. 
P. cristata $5 00 to $7 50 
P. g^andis 
P. rugosa 3 50 to 4 00 
PESCATOBEA. This genus consists of plants of 
dwarf and compact habit. They scarcelj' form pseu- 
do-bulbs, but have bold evergreen foliage of a decora- 
tive character, therefore look well, even out of flower. 
The flowers (;ome singly, and are large, of peculiar and 
very distinct colors. They are easily grown in a raix- 
tui'C of peat and moss, and want a good supply of water. 
P. Backhousiana .¥5 00 to $7 50

PHALiENOPSIS. The various species of this genus 
which are in cultivation rank among the most beauti- 
ful of the East Indian Oi'chids. The plants are of sin- 
gular habit and bird-like appearance when looking at 
them suspended upon rafts, blocks or baskets, with 
their beautiful leaves, some of which are of rich olive 
green, while others are of whitish, mottled and mar- 
bled, and brown green ground ; all of the leaves are of a 
very fleshy texture. The roots are most interesting, 
sometimes two feet in length, flat and of rough appeaa'- 
auce. In cultivating quite a few of the different spe- 
cies, some may be had in bloom the year round. The 
flowers are produced upon long branching scapes which 
proceed from the axies of the leaves near the base, 
there being no psevido-bulbs to this Orchid. The flow- 
ers come in great profusion, upwards of three hun- 
dred flowers having been counted on a single plant. 
The color of these most beautiful and delicate flowers, 
and their construction, is most wonderful. These 
plants need constant high temperature, and during 
their growing season, from March to October, require 
I)lent.y of moisture. Fibrous peat, charcoal, pot-sherds 
and live sphagnum moss, is what they delight to grow in.
