Bornean specie. 0 , C. Curtisi—named in honour of its introducer, 
Mr. Curtis, being in the way of C. superbiens but differing in the 
greater size of the flower, the bright rosy-crimson hue suffusing 
the petals and lip and the smaller denser spots. The large green 
striped dorsal sepal is similar in both, but the newer form may 
be considered as a decided improvement upon C. superbiens, 
beautiful as that species is. The other is C. superciliare, a hybrid 
between the last-named and C. barbatum, which has a very large 
dorsal sepal, the petals bearing dark spots, and intermediate in 
colour between the two parents. 
Cattleyas constitute a beautiful display in the house specially 
devoted to them, C. Trianse, C. Mendelli, C. Mossiae, C. inter¬ 
media, and C. Dowiana being represented by large numbers of 
handsome varieties. C. Skinneri is particularly fine, several 
plants being masses of lovely rosy flowers. Lmlia purpurata is 
similarly attractive, the combination of rich crimson and pure 
white being most pleasing. A new Cattleya from the continent, 
which has not previously flowered in this country, is notable in 
one of the houses. This is C. Keteleeri, which is of the C. Leo- 
poldi section, the lip rich crimson with pale pink lobes, the sepals 
and petals of a purplish colour. 
Miscellaneous Orchids, including Dendrobiums, Odontoglossums, 
Oncidiums, Vandas, are in similar variety and beauty. The hand¬ 
some Dendrobium tbyrsiflorum is flowering freely, its gold and 
white flowers being produced in long pendulous racemes. D. suavis- 
6imum, with rich golden and crimson-blotched flowers, is equally 
handsome; while amongst the curiosities may be mentioned 
D. Stricklandi with greenish flowers, and D. Curtisi with small 
rosy blooms. D. leucolophotum, which has small white flowers in 
long graceful racemes, somewhat suggestive of Angraecum citratum,
