the helmet, the labellum white with a large blotch of purple in 
the centre. This will do well either on a block of wood or in a 
pot, in a mixture of sphagnum and turfy peat, in equal quanti¬ 
ties. Delights in a temperature of 60°.— Native of Costa Rico. 
9. Aganisia Pulchellum. So named from its pretty flowers. 
This plant is well adapted for woodwork, on account of its run¬ 
ning habit; its bulbs are rather small and round, tapering a 
little to the apex; leaf-stalk two or three inches long, support¬ 
ing a lanceolate ovate leaf, the flower-spike five inches long, 
rising from the base of the young bulb, and producing five or 
six handsome white flowers. This succeeds best on a lump of 
wood, with a little moss fastened round so that the roots raav 
run into it, and should be liberally supplied with water in the 
growing season. It requires a temperature of 70°. This I would 
recommend in every selection on account of its beautiful flowers, 
as well as its rapid increasing when divided. — Native of 
Demerara. 
10. Ancetochilus Setceceus. (Derived from bristly.) This is 
a terrestrial Orchideee, and destitute of bulbs, but similar in 
growth to Goody era discolor , it is however different in the 
colour of the leaf, being of a very dark green, with a vein of 
light green along the centre, and the leaf entirely netted with 
brownish red marks. The growth of this plant, when in a young 
state, is increased much by placing a bell-glass over it; to 
be grown in a pot, in a mixture of sphagnum, turfy peat, and a 
little rotten leaves. It will do well also in a plant-stove. 
11. Angrcecum Eburnium. So named from the labellum bear¬ 
ing a resemblance to ivory. This plant is destitute of bulbs, 
and of a noble habit; its leaves are stiff and erect, from one foot 
to eighteen inches long, and an inch and a half broad; the apex 
of the leaf appears as if part had been bitten off, the flower-spike 
rising to one foot and upwards from the joint of the old wood ; 
the sepals and petals are greenish white, and the labellum of a 
beautiful ivory colour. This should be grown in a pot, with 
plenty of drainage, and in a mixture of sphagnum, turfy peat, 
and rotten wood, in due proportion. It requires a temperature 
of 70°.— Native of Madagascar. 
12. Angrcecum Bilobum. I believe named from the leaf being 
at the apex two-lobed. It is a curious little plant, destitute of' 
bulbs, and delighting to clasp its tender roots round a log of 
wood. Its leaves are three inches long, of a dark green, the 
raceme rising from the joint of the old wood, and producing a 
number of pure white flowers. It will do well on a log of wood, 
with a little moss tied round it, and requires to be liberally sup¬ 
plied with water when growing. The same temperature as the 
others.— Native of Cape Coast.
