Gynandria Monandria. —Orchidacece § Malaxece. 
Dendrobium Sanguinolentum. In the flowers of this plant 
we have a most uncommon combination of colours—cyanic and 
xanthic tints in one and the same flower, the ground being a 
clear fawn colour, with the tips of the segments and lip stained 
with a deep rich violet, and also a scarlet spot in the middle of 
the lip. It was sent from Ceylon to his Grace the Duke of 
Northumberland, by Mr. Nightingale, and flowered at Sion in 
August last. In habit the plant resembles D. pierardi, and the 
flowers are as large as those of D. aggregatum. — Bot. Reg. 
Gynandria Monandria — Orchidece. 
Cattleya Superba. This truly splendid species is a native of 
British Guiana, where it was discovered by Mr. Schomburgh, 
The flowers excel those of all other Cattleyas in the richness of 
their colouring; and, in fact, are equalled by no other known 
plant, unless it be Sobralia macrantha. It appears also to be 
very free flowering, as Messrs. Loddiges have had different speci¬ 
mens of it in various states, in bloom for several months during 
the last autumn. Messrs. Rollison, of Tooting, also bloomed a 
plant that had not been many months imported. Like other 
Cattleyas, it does not require much heat or moisture, a rather low 
temperature suiting it best.— Pax. Mag. Bot. 
Octandria Monogynia— Rutacece. 
Corrcea Bicolor. This variety is probably one of the best of 
the many hybrids now in cultivation : it appears to be the offspring 
of C. pulchella and C. alba , as it possesses the hue of the blos¬ 
soms of both in a combined form. The lower part of the tube of 
its flowers is a lively and delicate crimson, which passes into a 
whitish tint towards the upper portion ; the segments of the limb 
which are singularly large, are pure white within, and the promi¬ 
nent yellow stamens constitute a pretty relief; the habit is neat, 
but not remarkable.— Pax. Mag. Bot. 
Diandria Monogynia — Labiatce. 
Salvia Bicolor. One of those ornamental objects which have 
been almost, if not entirely lost to British cultivators, and which
