NEW PLANTS. 
LILIUM BLOOMERIANUM OCELLATUM. 
A very beautiful hardy Lily of dense and stoeky habit. The flowers grow in the axils of the upper 
leafy-bracts ; they are large, of a rich tawny orange, spotted nearly to the tips of the perianth seg- 
ments with large spots, all the upper and larger of which are crimson with a black central spot ; the- 
perianth segments arc broad oblong with a short and somewhat acute point. The anthers are of a 
brownish orange hue. 5s., 7s. 6 d., and 10s. 6 cl. 
LILIUM TIGRINUM JUCUNDUM. 
This bright and cheerful looking Lily has been imported from Japan. It has erect green stems, amt 
linear lanceolate glossy leaves. The flowers, of which several are borne on a stem, each spring from 
the axil of an oblong-ovate limb, and are nodding. The perianth segments are spreading and mode- 
rately recurved, of a light cinnabar red, marked in the lower half by scattered black dots, furrowed 
towards the base, and then bearing a few papilla'. The filaments and style are orange coloured, and 
the anthers chocolate red. 5s., 7s. Gel., and 10s. 6/1. 
*** The above two Lilies were sent out by Mr. W. 15. last year ; so that although now catalogued for 
the first time, they must be considered as introductions of 1875. 
MACROPIPER EXCELSUM AUREO-PICTUM. 
A low-growing densely branched evergreen aromatic greenhouse plant, a native of New Zealand. It 
has terete steins, furnished with numerous ovate-cordate leaves, which have the surface marked by five 
to seven depressed lines representing the principal nerves ; they are somewhat wavy at the edge, green, 
marked with an irregular blotch of creamy yellow extending more or less from the base upwards. 
The petioles have the usual peculiar sheathing stipule, which becomes unfolded and forms a curious 
looking wing at the base of the leaf-stalks. The leaves of the green-leaved type are used to cure 
tooth-ache. For illustration, vide page XV. 1 guinea. 
MECONOPSIS WALLICHII. 
A charmingly beautiful Poppy-wort of perennial duration, which, though cultivated at Kew some 
time since, is not now to be found in commerce. It is a native of the Sikkim Himalaya, where it 
was gathered by Ur. Hooker who sent seeds to the Royal Gardens. 1 ts large drooping flowers arc arranged 
on an elongated leafy raceme ; they are two inches across, and of a pale clear blue colour, a dense ring 
of orange yellow stamens surrounding the ovary occupying the centre. Though a perennial plant, it 
is probable that like many others of the order, it may have a tendency to die out if not frequently re- 
newed from seed. 10s. 6 d. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM CIRRHOSUM. 
This superb new Odontoglossum has been imported from Ecuador, and is a much more handsome 
species than the still rare 0. neevinm, somewhat resembling it in colour and character, but infinitely 
superior ; it produces fine strong branched spikes of blossom, each flower three to four inches across, 
white, marked and spotted in the way of 0. n/evium ; exceedingly chaste and beautiful. 2 & 3 guineas. 
ONCIDIUM CARDERI. 
A distinct anil beautiful species discovered by Mr. W. Hull’s collector, Mr. Carder, in the United 
States of Colombia. In growth it somewhat resembles 0. zebrinum. The flowers, which arc of a large 
size, are borne in a most profuse panicle ; they are of a light coffee-brown colour, half of the petals 
being white ; the superior part of the pandurate lip yellow, and the anterior part of a beautiful pink. 
The half-white petals afford quite a novel ornament and remind one of some of the Vandas. Price on 
application. 
%* The above Oneidium was sent out by Mr. W. 15. last year ; so that although now catalogued for 
the first time, it must be considered an introduction of 1875. 
PHAL/ENOPSIS CASTA. 
A distinct and beautiful variety, with thinly spotted leaves, tho spots finally disappearing on the 
oldest leaves. The flowers somewhat resemble those of P. amabilis, the lip having the characteristic 
callus, and the bases of the upper sepals and petals being tinged with purple. This lovely variety, 
having the splendid white flowers of P. amabilis, with the addition of a charming tint of blushing 
purple/ is quite unrivalled in its chaste beauty. Price on application. 
PHAL/ENOPSIS LEUCORRHODA. 
A charming variety, producing lovely flower 8 , which have the tendrils of the middle partition of the 
lip very thin and long, similar to those of P. amabilis ; the callus also is like that of P. amabilis, but 
yellow ; the petals have a rosy hue, the lines of the lateral partitions of the lip' being brownish, there 
being much yellow over the whole lip, and numerous brownish dots on the lateral sepals inside. All 
the sepals are yellowish green outside. The shape of the flowers resembles that of P. Schilleriana. 
Price on application.
