A contribution to the Orchidaceous flora of Queensland, by Dr. R. S. 
Rogers and C. T. White, F.L.S., has just appeared (Proc. Roy. Soc. 
Queensl., XXXil, pp. 117-124), and a reprint has been kindly sent to us by 
the authors. A preliminary note states: ‘‘ The present paper is the first of 
aseries of contributions to our knowledge of Queensland Orchids, and is 
the result of a critical examination of material in the Queensland State 
Herbarium. In addition to description of new species and critical notes 
the opportunity is taken of recording any locality records that add to our 
knowledge of the distribution of any particular species.”’ The present 
paper contains descriptions and figures of two novelties, Zeuxine oblonga. 
and Z. attenuata, also a figure of Acianthus amplexicaulis, a plant first 
referred by Bailey to Microstylis and afterwards to Liparis, though 
Acianthus is its true position. We hope to be favoured with later contri- 
butions to the series. 
A flower of Odontioda Bradshawie, raised by intercrossing two forms of 
this hybrid, is sent by Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Surrey.. 
We do not know the character of the parents, but the flower sent has a 
very distinct white pattern, indicating a partial reversion to the original 
Odontoglossumcrispum. There are others, and probably a good deal of 
variition might be observed in such a batch of seedlings. 
A spray of Odontioda Lambeauiana (C. Neetzliana x O. Lambeau- 
ianum) is sent by Neville Chamberlain, Esq., M.P., Westbourne, Edgbaston, 
Birmingham. It is a brilliant form, with scarlet-red sepals and petals, and 
traces of yellow markings at the base of the petals, and in front of the crest 
ofthe lip. The plant bears a spray of thirty flowers, and the five flowers- 
sent are borne by one of the two or three side branches. It was purchased 
as Od>ontioda Diana, and was thought to be that until it flowered, but im 
that the influence of O. Harryanum can be traced in the spiny teeth of the:
