MASDEVALLIA TOVARENSIS. 
slender than those of M. torarensis, and are of a delicate golden-yellow colour. Lt is 
curious to note that the terete flower-stems usually produce more than one flower, the 
plant in this respect resembling the many-flowered JZ. torarensis, the pollen-plant J/, 
iguea having solitary flowers. 
Two other hybrids have been raised, both by Messrs. Sander, of St. Albans : 
M. Measuresiana (Gard. Chron. 1890, pt. IL., p. 379), white, bordered and nerved with 
lilac, the tails darker, a hybrid between AZ. amabilis and AM. torarensis ; and AM. Amesiana 
(Gard. Chron. 1891, pt. I. p. 38, and pt. IL p. 197), apricot colour—raised from J/. 
Veitchiana and MM. torarensis. 
Consul Lehmann sends the following note : 
Up to this date, Masderallia tovarensis appears to have been found only ine the small 
colony of Tovar, near Caracas in Venezuela, at an elevation of 1,500 to 1,800 métres 
(4,875 to 5,850 feet). It grows on trees in open, park-like woods, under exactly the same 
conditions as MW. maculata.
