VANDA TEIOOLOK PATEESONI. (From the Gardeners' Chronicle.') V. TRICOLOR PLANILABRIS, Undl.—One of the finest forms of F. tricolor, having the same general habit and character as the type, but producing larger, brighter-coloured flowers of great substance. The sepals and petals are very broad, roundish obovate clawed or narrowed to the base, citron-yellow, thickly marked with rich brown spots, those on the claw rather elongate. The large flat lip is rose-coloured, margined with purplish-mauve and striped with chocolate-purple on the disk. It flowers at different times of the year.—Java. Fig.—Orchid Album, ii. t. 87 ; Lindcnia, viii. t. 369. V. TRICOLOR RUSSELLIANA, flbrt.—This beautiful variety is very distinct both in habit of plant and flower. It has a peculiar and gracefully pendulous style.of growth, and is, at the same time, very robust. The racemes are long, and the flowers very bright in colour. It bloomed with Mr. Sorley, when gardener to the late J. Bussell, Esq., of Falkirk, and is an extremely fine . variety.—Java.
