ROEZLII, Nicliolson.âOne of the most beau- tiful of all the MiUonias, producing blossoms twice a year; it is a very near ally and a close rival of M. vexillaria, and yet how different! The plant has small narrow ovate acutely margined pseudo- bulbs, long linear-lanceolate light green leaves, and large flat sweet-scented flowers from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and borne one to four on a scape; the '"^^"^puepue^ea'^^^^ obovate oblong acute sepals are pure white, and the broader petals are white with a bold purple spot at the base; the lip is obcordate, 2j inches in breadth, white with a yellowish stain, tinged with red around the crest. The flowers, which are deliciously sweet-scented, last from four to five weeks in perfection if kept free from damp. There are numerous varieties of this charming species, many of which make fine subjects as exhibition plants; some of them are much lighter than the one here described, but they are all worth cultivating. It is best grown in the Cattleya house, and requires an abundance of moisture. It is named in honour of the late M. Roezl, being one of his own introductions.âKeiu Grenada.
