Disa Cooperi is a native of the North-Eastern districts of 
extratropical South Africa, having been discovered many 
years ago in the Orange Free State by Mr. Cooper, a col- 
lector employed by the late W. W. Saunders, Hsq., F.R.S., 
of Reigate. It has been found in the Transvaal, at Syden- 
burg by Dr. Atherstone, and in Natal by Mrs. Fannin. 
From this last country the specimen here figured was im- 
ported by Messrs. Sander and Co. of St. Albans, who 
exhibited it at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society 
in February last and then presented it to the Royal 
Gardens, Kew. It has a strong scent of cloves.—J. D. H.
