Botanical Magazine for October.—The plants figured are Stanhopea 
grandiflora, Reichb. f. (t. 8517); Rhododendron haematocheilum, 
Craib (t. 8518) ; Nautilocalyx pallidus, Sprague (t. 8519); Schizo- 
phragma hydrangeoides, Sieb. et ZGuce. (t. 8520) and Streptocarpus 
cyaneus, S. Moore (t. 8521). 
grandiflora was collected at Cuenca and a coloured sketch was 
made by Mr. Consul Lehmann, whose collections are now at Kew. 
The figure was prepared from a plant which flowered in 1912 in 
Sir Frank Crisp’s collection at Friar Park, Henley. 
Rhododendron haematocheilum is one of the Chinese species raised 
by Messrs. J. Veitch rom seed collected by Mr. E. H.

The Gesneraceous plant which forms the subject of the next 
illustration belongs to a very natural group of species formerly 
referred in part to Episcia and in part to Alloplectus and now 
brought together under the old name WVautilocalyr. WN. pallidus is 
a native of Peru where it was collected by Mr. Forget for Messrs. 
F. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, to whom we are indebted for the 
plant from which the figure was made. Two other species of this 
genus NV. Lynchii and N. bullatus are also in cultivation, 
the sterile flowers have but a single bract. The true 5S. 
hydrangeoides, however, is a comparatively recent introduction to 
Grayswood, Haslemere. The spray figured was sent to Kew by 
Miss Willmott, Warley Place. ; 
The Streptocarpus is closely allied to the well-known S. Rezii, 
Lindl., but differs in the shorter and relatively more dilated corolla 
tube. Mr. E. E. Galpin found 8. eyanews in woc kloofs near 
Barberton in 1891, but the description of the species was based on 
specimens collected by Mr. J. Burtt Davy at Forbes Reef Bush, 
Swaziland, in 1905. The specimen figured was raised from seed 
collected by Mr. Thorneroft near Barberton and presented to Kew 
by Mr. W. E. Ledger, of Wimbledon. The flowers are very 
pleasing and vary in colour from pale lavender or blue to rosy 
mauve, with a few streaks of red on the three lower lobes and a 
blotch of yellow in the corolla tube.
