JUNE, 1923 ] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 163 
exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society, April 15th, 1913. A similar 
award was given at the Manchester Orchid Society March 15th, 1923, 
when a, fine example, with a flower stem over 14 inches in height, was 
shown from the collection of B. J. Beckton, Esq., Irlams-of-th’- Height, 
Manchester. The large flowers are cream-white, with thin purple lines ;. 
lip yellow with some purple markings. 
ONcIDIUM CAVENDISHIANUM.—Some very fine specimens of this showy 
species were exhibited at the recent Ghent Exhibition. The plants are with- 
out pseudobulbs, but have large broad fleshy leaves, which probably contain 
the necessary reserve of food to enable them to withstand any period of 
drought. The tall erect spikes carry numerous flowers, an inch or more in 
diameter, bright greenish-yellow spotted with chestnut-red. It is a native 
of Guatemala, and was one of the first Orchids sent to England by Mr. 
G. Ure Skinner, being included in a consignment to Mr. Bateman at 
Knypersley in 1835. 
ORCHIDS OF QuEENSLAND.—Contributions to the ‘‘ Orchidaceous Flora 
of Queensland,” by R. S. Rogers, M.A., M.D., and C. T. White, F.L.S., 
have been published by the Royal Society of Queensland (Proc., vol. xxxit., 
Nos, 9 and 12). The above is the first and second of a series of con- 
tributions to the knowledge of Queensland Orchids, and is the result of a 
critical examination of material in the Queensland State Herbarium. In 
addition to descriptions of new species and critical notes, opportunity has 
been taken of recording any locality records that add to the knowledge of 
the distribution of any particular species. A figure is given of Acianthus 
amplexicaulis, a plant originally placed in the genus Microstylis by the late 
F. M. Bailey, and subsequently removed by him to the genus Listera, but 
now considered to be more correctly referable to the genus Acianthus. It 
is distinguished from other Australian members of the genus by the shape

of its dorsal sepal.

states (FI. Brit. Ind., vi., 106): “ The appendage between the gland of the 
pollinia and the pollinia itself is a very Curious organ, and its real nature 
has not yet been ascertained, whether rostellar or pollinar; it eS only 
in some species and in these under very various forms, so that it cannot be 
relied on as a generic character. It is further so difficult of analysis in 
dried specimens, that much allowance must be made for my description of 
it.” The second contribution, is devoted to a revised account of the 
Queensland species of Habenaria with a key to the Australian members of 
the genus.
