LAWRENCEANUM, Uchh. f.—This remarkably handsome species was introduced by Mr. F. W. Burbidge when collecting for Messrs. Veitch & Sons, and was named in honour of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., a gentleman whose great love of Orchids fully entitles him to such a compliment. It is one of the stemless kinds, with distichous broadly oblong acute channelled leaves, about 1 foot long, and of a most ornamental character, being tessellated with a bright whitish-green on a dark green ground, the markings having a very distinct and striking appearance. The flowers are produced singly or in pairs on an upright purple downy scape, and are large and showy, the dorsal sepal being very broadly ovate, white striped with numerous shining broad purplish lines; the petals horizontal, broadly linear-oblong, about \ inch wide and 2^ inches long, ciliate, green, tinged with purple at the tip, the margins.
