110 TRANSACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE [Sess L\'ni. 



I am indebted to Professor Bayley Balfour for some 

 information regarding plants with many flowers which 

 have been recorded previously. In 1890 a plant at 

 Messrs. Seeger & Tropp's nursery, East Dulwich, had ten 

 blooms (Gard. Chron., 3rd series, vii., 1890, p. 11); in 

 1873, in the garden of Mr. W. Terry, Peterbrough House, 

 Fulham, a plant showed twelve blooms (Gard. Chron., 1873, 

 p. 254, fig. 53) ; at Davenham in 1892 a plant bore 

 thirteen flowers (Gard. Chron., 3rd series, xL, 1892, p. 84); 

 in 1874, in the garden of Mr. Pi. Miln, Arbroath, a plant 

 had seventeen flowers (Gard. Chron., 1874, p. 346, fig. 

 79). The figure of Mr. Miln's plant shows it to have had a 

 single stem, and this presumably was the character of all 

 the other plants referred to, as it is of my plant. A plant 

 is also noticed (Gard. Chron., 3rd series, xii., 1892, p. 123) 

 from the garden of Mr. A. S. Kimball, Piochester, Xew 

 York, which had twenty- three flowers in July, the period 

 of flowering in this country being from December to 

 March. But from Ferguslie, Paisley, a plant is recorded 

 in Gard. Chron., 2nd series, xxv., 1886, p. 170, with 

 five growths 2-3 feet high, bearing thirteen spikes with 

 thirty-six flowers, of which twenty-four were expanded. 

 He adds that so far as he can learn my plant is the one 

 with the greatest number of flowers on a single stem that 

 has been recorded in Britain. 



While in its native country this orchid is found growing 

 on trees, this plant has been grown in a pot filled with 

 alternate layers of crocks and sphagnum, close to the back 

 wall of a house, along with Yandas, Dendrobiums, Cypri- 

 pediums, etc. It is a plant of slow growth, making only a 

 single pair of leaves annually, it seems to enjoy sunshine 

 and a fair amount of water, but it must have efficient 

 drainage.

The following notes are submitted for the purpose of 

 directing the attention of botanists who have opportunities 

 of visiting the localities mentioned, or other places where 

 species of TJtricidaria may be found, to some difficulties in
