ORCHIDS. 
a splendid specimen ot Angreecwm scsquipedale, throwing up a fine spike of flowers, and equally fine 
examples oi Aerides Meldingii. In the way of imported Orchids, Mr. Bull pointed out some six or 
seven plants of Phalanopsis ScMlleriana, which alone had been saved from a consignment of from 
500 to 600 plants, shewing that the importer runs a great risk, and also furnishing a valid reason 
for the high price this magnificent species commands. 
In the end house was a fine specimen of Arpoplujlhim giganteum, nearly 2 feet through, and 
throwing up numerous flower spikes ; Lalia purpurata, very fine ; also Leptotes serrulata, coming 
into bloom, and promising to flower freely ; some very fine plants of Cypripedium villosum ; 0. Lorvii, 
with a grand spike of five flowers ; C. longifolium, a very rare species ; the pure white C. iiiveum, a 
very beautiful form, not yet distribnted ; C. Sayanum, C. caudatum, &c. Cattleya bulbosa, a very 
rare and beautiful species, had some handsome flowers of a peculiar mauve violet hue ; and there 
was a grand specimen of Oncidium aaroodes, said to be one of the finest specimens in Europe, formed 
of eleven bulbs, the strongest 3 inches in circumference and 6 inches in length. It was throwing up 
two spikes of flowers, which were 2 to 3 feet in length. 0. Kramerianum, with three flower stems, 
began to bloom in August last, and still continued to produce flowers at the termination of the 
stem, the young bloom issuing from amid the decaying elements of the old one. Loelia amminata 
violacea was also very handsome, and had a stem with a cluster of three violet coloured flowers at 
the end of it. 
S distinguishes the stove kinds ; I, intermediate house ; and C, cool house. Those marked 
thus (*) are winter-blooming kinds.
