 triangular form of several parts ; the sepals form a 3-cornered cup, the gland on which 

 the pollen masses rest is an obtuse-angled triangle ; and the stigma is a triangular excava- 

 tion.) OrchidAcece. Sp. 1, 2. [t. 1923,

Mr. Bateman received this singular plant through his collector, Mr. Collej', 

 from Demerara, in IBS*. The entire plant, at the time of its importation, 

 consisted, only of two pseudo-bulbs, which grow slowly ; and, in consequence, 

 it has not yet been increased. (^Bot. Reg., Jan.)

Bulbs of this very handsome plant were imported by Mr. Toward, gardener 

 to the Duchess of Gloucester at Bagsliot Park, and by him communicated to 

 the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where they flowered in June, we presume in the 

 stove. (Bot. Mag., Jan.)

Bulbs of this plant were received from Lima^ and they have flowered mag- 

 nificently in the Glasgow Botanic Garden ; whether in the open air, or under 

 glass, is not stated, but we presume in the latter case. " The inflorescence 

 is remarkably like that of the mules obtained by the admixture of H. solandr.^- 

 florunb with H. reginoe-vittatum, crossed again with H. vittatum. The beard 

 is fainter than in H. vittatum, and the plant occupies an intermediate situation 

 between this species and H. so\an<\vcBfldnim. Whether it is a garden produc- 

 tion at Lima, or exhibits a natural local variation of the genus, we have no 

 means of ascertaining." (Bot. Mag., Jan.)

An old inhabitant of the Dutch gardens, and common in those of London 

 in Miller's time ; but subsequently lost, and now imported from the Cape of ' 

 Good Hope, where it had been most probably introduced by some of the 

 Dutch colonists. (Br. Fl.-Gard., Jan.) To us it appears only a variety of 

 L. candidum, and one by no means so handsome as the species.

" Rather a pretty bulbous plant, native of Mendoza, where it was originally 

 found by Dr. Gillies. Its flowers have a delicate sky-blue tinge; but, unfortu- 

 nately, the plant smells powerfully of garlic. It will be easily cultivated in a 

 frame, or even in an open border, kept dry in winter. The manner in which 

 the anthers are attached to the filament, and the sessile ovary of this species, 

 are at variance with the characters of the genuine triteleias ; but, in the 

 absence of any additional species, it will be most advisable to leave it undis- 

 turbed in the genus where it at present stands." (Bot. Reg., Jan.)
