Miltonia Karwinskii. This remarkable species has recently exhibited its flowers in the 
gardens of the Horticultural Society, Chiswick, where it was introduced by the Society's collector, 
Mr. Hartweg. The flower-scape was branched, and nearly four feet long, covered with gaily 
coloured blossoms. The flower is about an inch and a-half long ; the sepals and petals greenish 
richly spotted with dark brown ; lip deep lilac colour on the upper half. The foliage large and 
handsome, of a bright green colour. 
Phalcenopsis grandiflora. The large-flowered kind of Phalcenopsis, a fine specimen of 
which has lately flowered in the gardens of S. Rucker, Esq., Wandsworth. The flower-scape was 
about two feet long, branched, and held upwards of thirty of its immense blooms well developed. 
The purity of the white, and delicate marking of yellow on the labellum, added to the freedom and 
profusion of its bloom, makes the species deservedly the most admired with the cultivators of 
Orchidaceae.
