268 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS. 
found—R. Ashworth, Bird, Bradshaw, Brooman-White, Bull, Cookson, 
Charlesworth, Lucas, MacBean, Pitt, Potter, Rochford, Sander, Stewart, 
Karl Tankerville, Thompson and Thwaites in Great Britain ; Hye de Crom, 
Lairesse, Pauwels, Peeters, Vuylsteke in Belgium, and Fanyau in France 
—I consider our knowledge will be increased a hundredfold in a few 
years more, compared with what we know to-day, and that the future in 
this case will not be “very much like the past,’”’ as was once laid down, 
as a proverb or “ morale,” by that great Frenchwoman, Mme. de Staél. 
I here gratefully acknowledge the finishing touch given by the 
illustrations to this paper, and tender my thanks to the Council of the 
R.H.S. for the preparation of the blocks, made from the Society’s 
paintings, and to the editors of “The Orchid Review”’ and “The 
Gardeners’ Chronicle ”’ for the use of their figures. 
REFERENCES. 
In giving these by means of dates of original appearance, it will make 
them perhaps clearer than usual, as a complex lot of references over- 
burdens a paper, so often heavy in itself. In some cases the plants have 
as yet made no public appearance. In the column “Figured,” where 
possible, I give the reference to a photographic reproduction. In some 
instances, the figure is not of the original plant, but a later shown 
variety. .

* Mr. Rolfe relegated this to a variety of ardentissimum; but M. Vuylsteke had 
previously sent me, in April 1906, blooms of other plants of this hybrid, which proved 
their parentage quite conclusively, and all were quite distinct from it. Some of the 
forms are certainly somewhat like it, and to anyone who did not know the parentage 
might pass for it.
