FEBRUARY, 1922.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 49 
course, I must say that our Leelias have the advantage of never losing any 
of their roots by woodlice or other pests, perhaps because they are hung up, 
though we have not seen woodlice at all. I think these pests very much 
resent the amount of water we are always throwing about. The only other’ 
pest we have is the small white tomato fly occasionally, and I do not think 
they do any real harm. 
We have failed for years with our Ccelogynes. We have tried them in 
all sorts of pots and positions. I think the trouble has been due to not 
giving them enough water. However, we have made another effort by 
putting them in baskets and standing them on the ashes in a position of 
shade. I have always envied the possessor of the beautiful C. cristata when 
in bloom, which, in my opinion, is one of the loveliest of all Orchids, for it 
flowers at such a useful season of the year. 
We are still repotting the Cypripediums as they go out of flower. They 
mostly all seem to require it. We get the best results by giving them just 
enough pot room for one year. C. insigne var. Harefield Hall, of which we: 
are building up quite a nice stock, seems to possess a creeping rhizome, and 
is difficult to keep compact, so we just divide them and pot up the pieces: 
singly. We have been struggling with C. Maudie magnificum and C.. 
callosum Sanderz, but they seem to require more heat than we can give 
them, so now they repose, and look distinctly happier, in the “ Monkey" 
House,” which perhaps will be useful as a hospital. 
Ca@LOGYNE WETTSTEINIANA.—This plant was received from the- 
Botanic Garden of the University of Vienna by Dr. R. Schlechter, in 
December, 191g, and is described by him as a new species in “ Osterreich- 
ischen botanischen Zeitschrift, Jan., 1920.” It is a native of Annam, and allied’ 
to C. Rhodeanz, Rchb. f. 
STANHOPEA PURPUSII.—This new species, a native of Mexico, and allied 
to S. oculata, was presented by Mr. C. A. Purpus to the Botanic Garden at 
Darmstadt, where it flowered in September, 1913. A full description by 
Dr. R. Schlechter and analytical drawings of the flower were published in: 
the Orchis, Dec. 15th, 1916. -

JENMANIA ELATA.—This plant was sent from Trinidad by Mr. Prestoe, 
and. flowered at Kew in September, 1870, after which it was lost sight of 
until dried specimens were collected on the Pomeroon and Demerara Rivers, 
British Guiana, by Mr. Jenman, after whom the genus is named. It is a 
terrestrial plant, tall in habit, the leaves radical and much like those of 
Neuwiedia. The yellow flowers, over an inch long, are arranged in a lax 
panicle.
