raised in the collection of Mr. Norman C. Cookson from D. 

 Falconeri, fertilized with the pollen of D. Nobile. It approaches 

 D. Falconeri in character, though the yellow disc of that spe- 

 cies is absent. — Gardeners' Chronicle, May 17th, p. 608. 



Bulbophyllum lemniscatoides, Rolfe, is a remarkable 

 species allied to B. lemniscatum (Botanical Magazine, t. 5961), 

 and like it having three remarkable appendages, one from the 

 back of each sepal. It was introduced by M. van Lansberge, 

 from Java. — Gardeners Chronicle, May 31st, p. 672. 



Kew. R. A. Rolfe, 



Moorea irrorata. — A few weeks ago, Mr. Moore, Curator of 

 the Botanical Gardens at Glasnevin, Dublin, forwarded to Kew 

 an inflorescence and leaves of an Orchid which he had pur- 

 chased for a Maxillaria at an auction sale, but which differed 

 so much from all Orchids known to him that he suspected it 

 to be something quite new. This view was confirmed by Mr. 

 Rolfe, who has described the plant under the above name. 

 The leaves and pseudo-bulbs resemble those of Houlletia or 

 Xylobium, the former being two feet long by four inches 

 broad, and the latter four and a half inches long and tapering.
