The figure i vi a gh id of Roxburgh’s drawing (preserved in the se 
Herbarium) of his Aerides radiatum, a plant which is probably common 
in the Seaserbenda, but o be Thave seen no specimen. Its nearest 
ally is B. gamosepalum, Griff. (B. Grifithianum, Par. et Reichb. f.), 
which has very different peed ahs larger flowers, and acute lateral 
sepals. This latter species I hope (with Dr. King’s permission) to 
figure in a volume of the ‘ Annals of the Calcutta Botanical Gardens’ 
which will be devoted to copies of the original drawings of Sri 
which are preserved in the Herbarium of the Calcutta Botanical 
Gardens.—J. D. H.
