chief botanical difference between these two species consists in 
the former having the lateral petals of the flower larger than 
the nectariferous one, whilst in fulva, it is smaller; in the former 
also the curvature of the spur is expansive, whilst in the latter 
it is closely recurved; in their foliage they differ slightly,— 
I. Noli me tangere having the leaves narrow, ovate, with a 
squarish base, and serrated at the margin ; in I. fulva they are 
more broadly ovate, tapering to the base, and toothed at the 
edges with reflected glands. The two species have probably 
been very frequently confounded.

LIST OF ORCHIDEiE. 
{Continued from page 184-.) 
93. Dendrohium linguceforme. (Derived from the leaves 
being tongue-shaped.) A curious little plant destitute of bulbs. 
Its leaves are nearly one inch long and fleshy, and are produced 
from a slender trailing stem. This will do well on a chump of 
wood, with a little moss fastened round it. It requires a liberal 
supply of water when growing, and a lower temperature com¬ 
pared with others. — Native of New Holland. 
94. Bendrobium formosum. A beautiful and rare plant, with 
bulbous stems, one foot long. Leaves three inches long, and 
one inch broad, placed alternately up the stem. Flowers pro¬ 
duced from the summit of the stem, in clusters, large and of 
a pure white, with the petals broader than the sepals. The 
labellum has a longitudinal mark of brownish-yellow proceeding 
from the base of the column to its centre. This plant should, 
in all cases, be hung up in a mixture of sphagnum, rotten wood, 
and some small lumps of turfy peat, and have plenty of water 
while in its growing state, with a temperature of 70°. — Native 
of India. 
95. Dendrohium aggregatum. (Derived from the flower 
consisting of a number of smaller flowers collected into one 
head by means of some part common to them all.) Plant 
pseudo-bulbous, with bulbs from three to five inches long, 
much furrowed. Leaves single, rising from the summit of the 
bulb, crisp and upright, three inches long, and of a dark green.
