In 1892 the late Dr. M. T. Masters gave a description in 
the Gardeners’ Chronicle of an interesting hybrid which 
had been raised by Messrs. Clibran. The parents of this 
hybrid were Urceolina pendula, Herb., figured at t. 5464, 
and Eucharis grandiflora, Planch., figured at t. 4971 of 
this work; the name given to the plant was Urceocharis 
Clibranit. Two years ago the plant now figured was 
acquired for the Kew Collection by purchase from Messrs. 
Sander & Sons, St. Albans. This plant had been for- 
warded from Peru by the firm’s collector, Mr. Forget, who, 
it is understood, had met with it in a wild state and in a 
remote part of that country. It flowered in a moist 
tropical house at Kew in July, 1909; another specimen, 
identical in every respect, flowered at St. Albans in 
January, 1910. So nearly allied to Ureeocharis Clibrani, 
Mast., is this Peruvian form, which Mr. Wright has 
described as Uvreeocharis edentata, that there is hardly 
room for doubt as to its being another hybrid, perhaps 
identical as to parentage with Messrs. Clibran’s plant, but
