ORCHIDS — Continued. 
The genera A'erides, Phalcenopsis, Saccolabium, and Vanda include not only very fine Orchids, but 
some of the most beautiful flowering plants in cultivation. The species of A'erides, in the way of 
crispum and odoratum, nobile and suavmmmm, have blush or white flowers, slightly shaded or 
spotted with light rose, and comparatively thin loose spikes, with larger waxy flowers ; other 
species, such as affine, Lohhii, and Pieldingii, have close compact spikes of rather smaller flowers, 
very delicately spotted with beautiful rosy pink. 
Phalcenopsis is an exceedingly ornamental and very free-flowering genus, producing fine spikes 
of beautiful butterfly-like flowers. 
Saeeolabinms, which resemble the smaller kinds of A’erides, have close very compact spikes of 
small flowers, beautifully spotted with bright rosy pink. 
Vandas produce fine large spikes of flowers with white grounds. F. ccerulea is of a delicate sky 
blue; F. yellow with brown spots; V. suavis is marked with bright crimson bars and 
spots ; V. tares, with rose blotches ; V. tricolor has a rose lip, and is spotted with yellow and crimsoa
