THE FLORIST S JOURNAL. 
The flowers are spotted with crimson on a white ground. Flowers 
equally as fine, and in the same manner, as the other two. A 
native of Java ; introduced in 1839. Flowers from March to June. 
Saccolabium giganteum, ( largest.) This is by far the finest of all 
the species. The flowers are said to be nearly twice as large as 
that of guttatum, and of a richer colour. A native of Java ; not 
yet introduced, that I am aware of. 
Saccolabium Cumingii , (Cuming’s.) This is a very pretty 
species. Sepals green spotted with brown ; petals dull white 
spotted with purple ; the lip spotted with blueish purple. The 
flowers are large and thinly scattered on the spike, which is stiff 
and somewhat erect. This is not so large a growing species as 
the last; the leaves are narrower and shorter, and more pointed, 
but bifid at the apex. A native of the Philippines ; introduced 
1840. 
Saccolabium papillosum. An upright growing species. The 
spikes of flowers are numerous. When the plant is strong the 
spikes are short and few flowered. The sepals are green ; petals 
yellowish with brownish spots. The lip is crimped, white with 
purple spots. A native of India ; introduced in 1830. 
Saccolabium compressum, (compressed.) This is a very rare 
species ; the flowers are produced in bunches ; they are indi¬ 
vidually very pretty, and more so when altogether. Not having 
seen the flowers of this species, I cannot say what the colour is. 
A native of the Philippines ; introduced 1838. 
Saccolabium densiflorum, (dense-flowering.) Sepals brown ; 
petals and lip yellow spotted with purple. This is a very pretty 
species. They are produced in dense spikes, which are short and 
somewhat pendant A native of Manilla ; introduced 1837. 
Saccolabium micranthum, (small-flowered.) A pretty little 
species. The leaves are short and bifid at the apex. One of the 
lobes is somewhat shorter than the other. They are of a pale 
green colour. The flowers are produced in small spikes of about 
eight to ten flowers, violet-coloured, on each spike. A native of 
India ; introduced 1837. 
Saccolabium denticulatum , (tooth-flowered.) The leaves are 
pale green and pointed at the apex, and narrower than in that of 
micranthum. The flowers are produced in small spikes, and very 
pretty. A native of India ; introduced 1838. 
Saccolabium bifidum , (two-cleft.) The sepals are of a straw
