sulphurea, Bak., and from G. sulphureus, Bak., for which 
- Wright now proposes the name G. deiodes. When 
first received at Cambridge in June 1912, the corms, Mr. 
Lynch informs us, were potted in good sandy loam with 
some leaf mould, and kept in a frame until they began 
to grow in early September. They were then transferred 
to the Intermediate House and kept until early April, 
when they went to the Succulent House, where they 
flowered in May. In spring 1913 a growing corm was 
planted out-of-doors on the west border of the Palm 
House, near the wall. This flowered in July last. The 
plant after having withstood eleven degrees of frost, its 
leaves remaining quite green, survived the winter of 
1913-14; the position it occupies is, however, a very 
sheltered one. Treatment in a pot, comparatively dry, 
is likely to keep the corms dormant until early spring ; 
for although growth took place the first year early in 
September, in the second year the corms have remained 
dormant until spring. The retention of green leaves in 
the open indicates a tendency to prolong the natural 
time of growth.
