presented a notable aierence, not only in the shape of the flowers, but also 
in their size and colouring. We have enumerated above, in the paragraph devoted 
to the bibliography, the variations which have been specially named and con- 
sidered as varieties. Some are extremely beautiful and one of them, var. albens, 
“has already been figured in the Lindenia many years ago (vol. I, pl. 35). 
The new variety rufum, which flowered recently in the collections Or ‘the 
Horticutture INTERNATIONALE, where it was greatly admired, has very large 
deep yellow flowers, with reddish-blotches, not so large but more numerous 
than in the type. 
We think it may be interesting to observe chat. M. Ro.re (Orchid Review, 
ae p. 202) gives O. Wilckeanum as a synonym of O. Denisoniae, which flowered 
in 1872 in Lord LonprsBorovucn’s collection and which was figured the same 
year in the Floral Magazine. As we have not the latter publication to hand, 
we cannot give our opinion on this subject, but if the identity of the two 
plants be well established, the law of priority would enforce the obligation 
of giving up the name of O. Wilckeanum, which only dates from 1880, and 
of calling this hybrid O. Denisoniae, as the Hoses plant was known for eight 
years before the former.
