3o0 THE ORCHID REVIEW. {[OcroBER, 1923. 
ance of the albino seedlings, it would have been necessary to use such 
term as C. Maudie var. albens. But as it happens, the single word 
Maudiz denotes the albino variety and Maudiz var. coloratum the normally- 
coloured form. This coloured form of Maudiz was raised by Messrs. 
Keeling & Son, and first flowered in 1905. In 1906, Mr. J. Leemann 
exhibited C. Maudie var. Amy Leemann, which had been produced by 
crossing the typical variety of Lawrenceanum with the albino variety of 
callosum. The colour of this hybrid differed very slightly from that of 
Lawrenceanum, the albino variety of callosum having very little effect, 
although some amateurs who saw the flower thought that its influence 
could be discerned. This result is in accordance with others obtained 
whenever an albino variety is crossed with a coloured one; the seedlings 
revert to the normal colour of the type. 
Much success has been achieved by combining Maudiz with other 
albino varieties. It has been crossed with both of its parents. Cyp. 
Holdenii (Maudie x callosum var. Sanderz) was exhibited by Mr. Joc]: 
Holden at the Manchester Orchid Society, Sept. gth, 1909, and Cyp. Alma 
Gevaert (Maudie x Lawrenceanum var. Hyeanum) was flowered by Mr. 
Pauwels in 1gt1. Mr. Clive Cookson flowered Cyp. Warden (Maudie X 
Holdenii) in 1920, and also in the same year the elegant Cyp. Emerald 
{Maudiz X Curtisii var. Sander). And still another example of combining 
these albinos was first seen in 1921, when Messrs. Sanders showed Cyp. 
Enchantress (Alma Gevaert X Curtisii var. Sander). One other hybrid 
may here be mentioned, for it has been a great favourite with many 
amateurs, and that is Cyp. Rossettii (Maudie x insigne var. Sanderianum), 
raised in the collection of Lieut.-Col. Sir George Holford by Mr. H. G. 
Alexander, and first seen in 1908. It should be noted that the albino 
variety of insigne known as Sanderianum was used in this case. Seedlings 
in which the better known variety Sanderz was used also flowered in the 
above collection, but all came coloured, as also did those raised by Mr. 
Cookson. Hence it is inferred that there is more difference in these two 
forms of insigne than is generally believed. 
VANDA PUMILA.—This species is closely allied to V. cristata, but differs 
in having a strong conical spur, and in the absence of the horns at the apex 
of the lip. It is a native of Bhotan and Sikkim, where it grows at an 
elevation of about 2,000 feet. 
BULBOPHYLLUM CocoINUM.—This pretty little species, a native of Sierra 
Leone, was imported by Messrs. Loddiges and flowered in their nursery at 
Hackney in January, 1835, filling the house with the scent of a cocoa-nut, 
in allusion to which the specific name was given to it by Bateman.
