During the fifteen years that have elapsed since the publication of the ‘Century of Orchidaceous Plants,’ now out of print, the ‘Botanical Magazine’ has been the means of introducing to the public nearly two hundred of this favourite tribe of plants not hitherto described and figured, or very imperfectly so. It is intended from these to select “a Second Century,” and the descriptions, written at the time of publication by Sir W. J. Hooker, will be edited, and in many cases re-written, agreeably with the present more advanced state of our knowledge and experience in the cultivation of Orchidaceous plants, by Mr. Bateman, the acknowledged successor of Dr. Lindley as the leading authority in this department of botany and horticulture.

Designed for the illustration, on an unusually magnificent scale, of the new and beautiful plants of this favoured genus of Orchidacea, which are being now imported from the mountain-chains of Mexico, Central America, New Granada, and Peru.
