slender than those of JZ. tovarensis, and are of a delicate golden-yellow colour. It. is 
curious to note that the terete flower-stems usually produce more than one flower, the 
plant in this respect resembling the many-flowered J. tovarensis, the pollen-plant 7. 
ignea having solitary flowers. 
Two other hybrids have been raised, both by Messrs. Sander, of St. Albans : 
M. Measuresiana (Gard. Chron. 1890, pt. IL, p. 879), white, bordered and nerved with 
lilac, the tails darker, a hybrid between AZ. amabilis and M. tovarensis ; and M. Amesiana 
(Gard. Chron. 1891, pt. I. p. 88, and pt. IL p. 197), apricot colour—raised from MV. 
Veitchiana and M. tovarensis. 
Consul Lehmann sends the following note : 
Up to this date, Masdevallia tovarensis appears to have been found only in the small 
colony of Tovar, near Caracas in Venezuela, at an elevation of 1,500 to 1,800 meétres 
(4,875 to 5,850 feet). It grows on trees in open, park-like woods, under exactly the same 
conditions as M. maculata.
