NEW OR CHOICE ORCHIDS. 
The following- list of Orchids comprises varieties of recent introduction, 
also those which, from their rarity, distinct or choice qualities, deserve 
the consideration of every lover of this most glorious tribe of plants. 
BRIDES JAPONICUM (Hooker). 
Japan. 
This distinct species was originally introduced by Mr. Linden, of Brussels, as early 
as 1862, but from some cause it now holds its position amongst scarce plants. 
It is a very dwarf but somewhat rigid grower. The leaves are about 7 inches long, 
and about an inch in breadth. The' flower spikes are 6 inches long, and distantly 
studded with flowers. The sepals and petals are nearly white, the lateral sepals 
being barred with brownish purple. The lip is white, fringed, and dotted towards 
the margin with brownish purple, with a raised dark violet blotch in the centre. A 
very pretty addition to this beautiful class.

AKHECTOCHILUS DAWSONIANUS (Hort.) 
Goodyera Dawsonii (Hort.) 
Malayan Aechipelago. 
This pretty novelty was found growing upon bare rocks on one of the islands in the 
Malayan Archipelago, having, it is said, no other support but its own decayed foliage. 
It resembles somewhat A. setaceus, excepting that its leaves are much larger, and of 
a more glossy and shining appearance. The upper surface of the leaves is of a deep 
“ invisible green,” adorned with nine longitudinal golden veins, the interstices between 
which are figured with bright hieroglyphic-like tracings. The under surface is 
purplish. 
To lovers of this beautiful yet sadly neglected class of Orchidacece, Anceciochilus 
Bansonianus will be a very welcome addition.
