128 THE ORCHID REVIEW. _ [(Juty-Aucust, 1920. 
arms up and downas ifangry. It is not a new orchid, though it is seldom 
seen in this country. It isa native of Brazil, and goes by the name of 
bulbophyllum barbigerum. 
CLASSIFICATION OF HYBRIDS.—There is no method of classification 
which will correct the mistakes of a wrong method of nomenclature. 
Exhibitors should use names that are in accordance with the rules. It is 
useless to blame the Orchid Committee for passing incorrect names. It is 
not a Nomenclature Committee, and makes its awards according to its own 
standard of merit. The result appears according to the colour of the 
recorder. The other day a very fine plant -of Odontoglossum Hyeanum was 
exhibited, and received a Cultural Commendation. One report recorded 
the fact, another says it was Odontoglossum Souvenir de Victor Hye de 
Crom. Perhaps the exhibitor has a preference for the shorter name, 
perhaps he remembers that the R.H.S. Nomenclature Committee, and the 
Vienna and Brussels Congresses all report in-its favour, and that the 
R.H.S. Council has appealed for the adoption of the Rules. Perhaps he 
remembers that when Brassocattleya Digbyamo-Mossiz appeared G.C. 
hoped ‘‘some means might be taken to render the specific name. less 
cumbrous,” and he is able to see the analogy. Perhaps he knows that the 
only figure of the plant does not qualify for inclusion in the new “ Pritzel ” 
because of neglect of the Rules. Perhaps, even, he has some seedling 
varieties coming on and knows that shortage of materials will prevent a 
further extension in the size of his labels. The problem is quite 
interesting.-—O.C . 
There is also the paper shortage and the increase in the cost of printing 
to be considered.—Ep.
