*/, inch long, upper only slightly smaller; perianth 13/, inch long, slightly 
curved distinctly obconical at the base, swollen round the ovary, with 
three decided oblong indentations above it (in a line with the inner seg- 
ments); outer segments pale brick-red with nearly white wings near the 
apex, inner with red median line and pale wings, which are yellowish 
at the apex; tube of corolla nearly two-thirds its length; filaments yellow 
slightly exceeding the perianth in length, anthers pale terra-cotta; ovary 
broadly oblong, green; style yellow, not exserted; stigma very small, 
capitate. 
Zambesi: loco incerto (J. M. Brown). 
This new species is allied to A. striata Haworth, and is best placed 
in the section Saponariae, though trough its substipitate perianth it shows 
possibly some relations with the section Grandes A. Berger. 
15. X Stanhopea Wolteriana Kränzlin (nov. hybr. artef.), 1. c., p. 102, 
fig. 35 (St. Martiana Y X St. tigrina Q). 
We cannot better describe this new hybrid than by stating that it 
is like Stanhopea tigrina with the colours of S. oculata var. crocea, or of 
S. devoniensis. The dorsal sepal is ovate-oblong, the lateral ones are 
obliquely ovate and somewhat falcate; the petals much narrower, linear, 
waved at the edges and curled backwards; the lip has exactly the form 
of that of S. tigrina, but is perhaps somewhat smaller; the column has 
the characteristic broad wings of S. tigrina in the middle of its length; 
the foot is wingless, but there are two small wings at the top that are 
wanting in S. tigrina. The ground-colour is dull straw-yellow or pale- 
orange; the sepals have obscure wine-red blotches and spots in more or 
less regular lines; the petals and the base of the lip have larger and 
rather deeper coloured blotches; the horns of the blade (the so-called 
epichilium) of the lip are spotted in the same manner; the back of the 
column is greenish. The fully-expanded flowers when measured across 
are between 5 and 6 inches broad; the lip is 2 inches long. The horns 
at their greatest divergence are 2 inches apart, the deeply three pointed 
blade or epichil is 1!/ inch long and broad. The perfume of the fresh 
flower is very strong, but it seems to be not so overpowering as that 
of S. tigrina when in all the full splendour of its freshly-opened flowers. 
The plant was raised by Mr. Paul Wolter of Magdeburg. 
16. Cycas Micholitzii Thiselton-Dyer, 1. c., p. 142, fig. 48, 49. 
Caudex subterraneus, 1!/, ped. longus 1'/; poll. crassus. Folia pauca, 
ad 10 ped. longa, basi ad 4 ped. aculeis armata, pinnulis 8 poll. longis, 
fere 2 dichotomis, segmentis */, poll, latis. Strobilus mas (juvenilis) ad 
6 poll. longus, squamis antheriferis brevissime acuminatis. Carpophylli 
lamina terminalis obovato-rhombea superne profunde pectinato-lacera. 
Annam. Legit Micholitz. 
Cycas Micholitzii, as 1 propose to name the new species, belongs to 
the small group which is confined to an area extending from Nepaul 
to Cochin China, in which the margins of the carpophylls are pectinate 
or comb-like. It differs from both the other species, C. pectinata and C.
