Holford, Esq., Weston Birt, Gloucestershire in compliment to whom it is named.—India. Fm.—Warner, Sel. Orch. PL, ii. t. 18. S. HARRISONIANUM.—See S. violaceum Hakeisonianum. S. HENDERSONIANUM, Bahb. f.—This small compact-growing species is very distinct, and makes a pretty subject either for basket or block. The ligulate keeled distichous leaves are about 6 inches long, of a lively green, and the erect racemes are produced from the axils of the leaves, and bear numerous flowers, which are of a beautiful rose colour, with a compressed white lip, reduced to little besides the spur. R. H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham, grows this plant to great perfection, and flowers it freely.—Borneo. FiG. — Bot. Mag., t. 6222 ; Orchid Album, vi. t. 275; Lindenia, vii. t. 313 ; VeiboKs Man.

MINIATUM, Undl.—A pretty dis- tinct small-growing Orchid, not so showy as some of the other species, but well deserving attention on account of its distinct colour. It has short erect stems, clothed with lorate channelled distichous leaves obliquely truncate at the apex, and short spreading cylin- draceous racemes of small but gay red-orange flowers, which are produced in March and April, and last three weeks in beauty. This will do well on a block of wood without moss. A variety called CITRINUM, said to be from the Philippine Islands, has the flowers of a lemon-yellow with a dark centre, which probably indicates the mouth of the spur. —Java. FiG.—Bot.
