Hooker brought the artist Walter Hood Fitch to the magazine, this artist became the magazines principal artist for forty years. Scientifically known as Vanda tessellata. Vanda tessellata is a species of orchid occurring from the Indian subcontinent to Indochina. It is a medicinal plant. 295 by 230mm (11� by 9 inches).
