122 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1922. 
ANGULOA CLOWESII, RUCKERI, CLIFTONI, AND EBUENES = com- 
mencing to grow, and may be repotted previous to flowering, which a 
with the new growth, or left until they have done blooming. They are _ 
strong growing and free rooting plants, and require an open mixture pas 
in. The pots should be about half filled with crocks, using soa WwW 
parts osmunda fibre and one of good fibrous loam, with a sprinkling o 
crushed crocks and sphagnum moss. Water sparingly until growth becomes 
vigorous, when copious supplies may be given until growth and bulbs.are 
matured, after which gradually reduce the supply and give sufficient only to 
maintain the bulbs in good condition. 
TRICHOPILIA SUAVIS, TORTILIS, AND GALLEOTTIANA are sweet scented 
Orchids, and grow well along with Lycaste Skinneri in the intermediate 
house. The former is producing its flower spikes, and may be repotted 
when growth recommences. Disa grandiflora and the various hybrids are 
now growing rapidly: they should be kept well up to the light in — 
coolest house, but protected from the sun’s direct rays; give frequent daily 
sprayings, and examine the growths for thrip, which soon disfigures the 
foliage and flower spikes. : 
CATTLEYA CITRINA has now completed its growth, and flower spikes are 
showing from the apex of the bulbs; keep them suspended well up to the 
light in the Cattleya house, and give slightly increased supplies of water as 
the spikes advance in growth, oe 
Harry A. BARNARD.—We regret to record the death on March 14th of 
Mr. Harry A. Barnard, who commenced his career with the Lows of 
Clapton more than sixty years ago. He was widely known in horticultural 
circles, and possessed a keen memory of early-day Orchid history. A? 
interesting note from his pen on Lelia anceps Dawsonii and Odontoglossum 
Andersonianum appeared on page 66 of our last issue. He had a wide 
knowledge of plants, and his genial disposition will be much missed in 
England as well as in the United States and Canada. The internment took 
place at Abney Park Cemetery on the 18th, and among those present were 
Mr. Stuart H. Low, Mr. Hugh Low, and sever 
al of his old comrades. 
CyPRIPEDIUM ARGUS.—This species flowered for the first time in Europe 
in 1873, when plants that had been imported the previous year flowered 
with Messrs. Veitch at Chelsea. It is a native of the Philippines, having 
been discovered by Gustav Wallis in 1872. The foliage is tesselated, 
while the warty eye-like spots on the petals form one of its most striking 
characteristics, and indeed suggested its name, for the Argus of Greek 
mythology was a monster surnamed Panoptis, ‘the All-seeing,” because he 
had a hundred eyes.
