ODONTOGLOSSUM TRIPUDIANS. 
This is not a new, but yet a rare and beautiful species, and, as such, deserving of a 
place in the Floral Magazine. It was originally discovered by Yon Warscewicz in New 
Granada, and partakes somewhat of the character of 0. cristatum, but with a blunt lip. 
The sepals and petals are maculated with mauve-brown, and dotted with green near the 
base and tips of the same. The lip is somewhat fiddle-shaped, one and a half inches in 
length, and of a greenish creamy- white colour, banded and striped in the throat with 
light mauve, reminding one of the enamelling on a jewel. The column is creamy- white, 
the anther cap and appendages of a bright burnt sienna ground ; the colouring very rich 
and striking. 
We are indebted to Mr. B. S. Williams for the example from which our illustration is 
taken, who obtained it from the collection belonging to Captain Shaw, Blackburn.

NEW ANTIRRHINUMS. 
No apology is necessary for introducing some varieties of this fine old-fashioned 
plant. Years ago it was a very popular florists’ flower, and though it is not now so much 
grown for exhibition purposes as it used to be, the Antirrhinum is yet a very popular 
flower, and is largely grown. The Scotch florists still raise and name new varieties, and 
find a ready demand for them. 
The three new forms now figured are from the collection of Messrs. Downie and Laird, 
of Edinburgh. Mrs. Logan (fig. 1), the tube cream colour, the cap and lower fringe rich 
blood-crimson; with golden lip. Beda (fig. 2) is of a crimson hue flushed with purplish- 
magenta ; the tube of a lighter shade of rosy crimson. John Downie (fig. 3) is a very 
handsome variety, with a creamy tube, rich magenta crest and falls, and a bright yellow 
mouth. All are distinguished by fine form and substance, and a vigorous growth ; the 
spikes of bloom we received from Edinburgh were of enormous size, and quite imposing in 
appearance. We last year grew a small collection of named Antirrhinums, and were 
much struck with their great beauty.
