ANGE^CUM KECURVUM. 
A lovtely species, witli pure white flowers 
borne singly on long, flexible, and drooping 
stems. The lio is quite flat, and each flower 
is three inches across. The leaves are long 
and leathery, in two ranks, and the stem or 
base of the plant sends out aerial roots from 
amid the fibrous ends of dead leav^, so that 
this basal portion looks like a little hairy 
trunk. The sjyecimen shown carried thirteen 
beautiful flowers, and these were drawn be¬ 
tween the leaves instead of being allowed to 
droop their full length. A.M., R.H.S., 
November 18. Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., 
Haywards Heath. 
L^LIO-CATTLEYA FERONIA, CHARLES- 
WORTH’S VAR. 
A splendid hybrid between C. Enid and 
L.-c. Haroldiana. The spike carried five 
very handsome blooms, each six inches 
wide and rather more in depth, from the 
tip of the dorsal sepal to the apex of the 
lip. Sepals and petals soft mauve-pink 
shaded with violet-purple; lip mauve, with 
a broad, frilled apex of a brilliant violet- 
purple shade. The throat is freely veined 
and shaded with deep yellow. A.M., R.H.S., 
November 18. Messrs. Charlesworth and 
Co., Haywards Heath. 
DENDROBIUM LEEANUM, LANGLEY 
VAR. 
A strong-growing hybrid with stems two 
and a-half feet long, bearing arching spikes 
of purple flowers.The sepals reflex a little, 
and are soft purple; the petals are of a 
deeper shade, and the lip is dark rich blue- 
purple with a darker disc of raised lines. 
D. Leeanum was originally raised many years 
ago by crossing D. Phalaenopsis with D. eu- 
perbiens, and it carries the chief characters 
of its parents, the flower being larger and 
broader than in D. superbiens, but not so 
rounded as in D. Phalaenopsis. A.M., 
R.H.S., November 18. Messrs. Flory and 
Black, Langley, Slough. 
BEGONIA SYROS. 
One of the newest of the winter-flowering 
varieties, and derived from B. socotiana and 
a copper^loured tuberous begonia.Of excel¬ 
lent habit, sturdy, and carrying alwut seven 
flowers on each semi-drooping spike, it is 
i^markably free flowering, and as the colour 
is light orange-tinted buff, the plant is most 
effective. A.M., R.H.S., November 18. 
Messrs. Jas. Veitch and Sons, Chelsea.

green leaves, and bears its flowers

native of Costa Rica (see p. 877). F.C.C.,
