34 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [FEBRUARY, 1922. 
giving it the appearance of a hybrid between the genera Vanda and Cym- 
bidium. A further noteworthy point is the long period frequently taken to 
complete the primary bulb of a Cymbidium seedling. Seed of C. Gottianum 
(eburneum X insigne Sanderi) sown in the early part of 1916 has yielded a 
plant that has continued to develop in monopodial or Vanda style, for at the 
~» age of six years it has not yet commenced a second growth from its base. 
' There are several similar examples, but as they are now carrying one or 
two flower spikes it is very probable that the first period of growth has 
been completed, and that further activity will take the form of a new growth 
from the base of the plant.
