112 THE. ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1922, 
acquisitions as intensive collecting brings to our attention the numerous 
‘species that must still await discovery. It would seem that Borneo will 
rival the Philippines as a home of Dendrochilum ‘species and furnish 
material that will help to crystalize our knowledge of one of the most 
fascinating Orchid genera of the eastern tropics.” . - “ies 
This sixth fascicle of Orchidace@ is in every way a valuable addition to 
the attractive volumes already issued. The excellent high-class style in 
which the work is published is only surpassed by the skilful accuracy of the 
author, Mr. Oakes Ames, who, as well as being Director of the Botanic 
Gardens of Harvard University, enjoys a world-wide reputation as one o 
the foremost authorities on Orchidology. 
ANGULOCASTE SANDERE. a 
QW HE first Angulocaste flowered in 1903, and was recorded as a hybrid 
between Anguloa Ruckeri and Lycaste Skinneri, but it has already 
been mentioned (vol. xxix, p. 33) that the second parent is more likely to 
have been Lycaste cruenta. In any case this hybrid still stands as the 
-original Angulocaste. The second cross between these two genera appeared 
in 1921, when Messrs. Sanders exhibited Angulocaste Cooperi, the result of 
crossing A. Cliftoniiwith L. cruenta. It received an Award of Merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society, February 8th, 1g21, the flowers being. of Lycaste 
formation, pale yellow, with purple markings at the base of the petals. re 
The third example exists in Angulocaste Sandere, produced by crossing 
Anguloa Clowesii with Lycaste Skinnerii alba. It was shown by Messrs. 
Sanders at the meeting of the Royal Horticultural ‘Society, held on 
Fedruary 28th, and received a First-class Certificate. ‘Our. illustration shows 
the formation of the flowers, which have much of the Lycaste habit about 
them, but the influence of the Anguloa parent is seen in the slightly concave 
Shape of the sepals, and more especially in the formation of the labellum. 
The colour is pale lemon-yellow, the lip having a darker yellow centre, and 
‘with some claret-red markings at the base. 
It is somewhat remarkable that the two species now brought together in 
happy union may be said to have long known each. other. Both flowered 
for the first time in this country in the celebrated collection of the Rev. 
John Clowes, at Broughton Hall, near Manchester ;_ Lycaste Skinneri in 
1842, and Anguloa Clowesii in 1844. . ee 
Angulocaste Sander has since passed into the collection of Dr. F- 
Bedford, who will shortly be removing his plants from Fulford, York, to his 
new residence near Maidstone, Kent. Among the rare species that have 
recently flowered in this collection is Mormodes badium, a native of Peru, 
-and producing reddish-purple flowers. .
