VANDA CJERULESCENSj VOLT. BoXALLII. 
Native of Transgangetic India. 
Nat. Ord. Orchidace^e. — Tribe Vande^e. 
Genus Vanda, Lindl. ( Bot . Reg. 1843 ; Misc.p. 14). 
Vanda ccerulescens , Griff. {Bot. Mag. 5834), var. Boxallii ; sepalis petalisque 
lateralibus pallidioribus, labello violaceo;disco albo-lineato. — Reichenb. fit. 
in Gard. Chron. 1877, pt. i. p. 749. 
This lovely form of Vanda ccerulescens , a species already 
well represented in this Magazine (Tab. 5834) was figured 
from a specimen flowered by Messrs. Low, of Clapton, last 
June. It is merely a horticultural form of the type-species, 
presenting no tangible botanical difference entitling it to 
rank as a variety. Those specimens, in which the outer 
perianth becomes pure white, must be especially charming. 
In the flowers figured they are a very pale violet, 
Descb. Stem and leaves as in Vanda ccerulescens , the 
latter numerous, rigidly distichous, with an obliquely toothed 
apex, four to six inches long, half to three-quarters of an 
inch broad, strongly keeled. Raceme many-flowered from 
the lower axils, in our specimen rather shortly pedunculate ; 
pedicel and ovary one inch to one and a quarter inch in 
length, subtended by very small ovate or lanceolate bracts. 
Flozuers one inch to one and a quarter inch in diameter ;
