recurved, broadly oblong at the base, long acuminate at the 
apex, nearly 1 in. long. Column short, broad, with short, 
broadly oblong teeth, base prolonged into a long attenuated 
foot.—R. A. RoiFs. 
CuLTIvaTion.—The section of Bulbophyllum to which 
B. Binnendijkii and B. Ericssoni belong does not grow well 
at Kew. Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, who grew 
the fine example shown at the Temple Show last year from 
which the present figure was prepared, state that this species 
grows well in a moist boniat house where during the 
season of growth it is kept saturated and allowed a fair 
amount of sunshine and air on favourable days. When at 
rest only sufficient water is given to keep the soil from 
becoming quite dry. In a dry atmosphere the leaves are 
attacked by “spot,” especially during winter. The mixture 
used is sphagnum moss with a small portion of peat fibre, 
dead leaves, small crocks and silver sand. The best. plants 
were grown in shallow teak baskets, suspended near the 
glass in a house containing Cvelogyne pandurata, Arach- 
nanthe Lowti, etc. All the Bulbophylla with thin 
rhizomes and pseudobulbs and papery leaves appear to 
require the conditions here given, and even then they 
are not always healthy. Of the many plants of the allied 
B. Eriessoni imported by Messrs. Sander & Sons it is 
doubtful if a score are now alive—W. Warson.
