74 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (Marcu, 1914. 
Swartz (Prodr., p. 126), and it was figured at t. 4295 of the Botanical 
Magazine as Angrecum funale, from a plant which flowered at Kew in the 
winter of 1846. This had been sent from Jamaica by Purdie, and it is 
recorded that ‘attached to a block of wood, and freely supplied with 
moisture, it produced its highly-fragrant blossoms in the winter of 1846, 
and continued some time in blossom.” It was also recently in the collection 
but failed to establish itself, probably owing to a difficulty in meeting its. 
requirements. It is only known from Jamaica, where it grows on trees in 
several localities, though we have not found a record of the altitude and 
conditions under which it occurs naturally. The flowers have bright green 
sepals and petals and a white lip and spur. 
DENDROPHYLAX Fawcetti! is a much finer species, and is a native of 
the Cayman Islands, whence it was sent to Kew by Mr. W. Fawcett, who 
found it at George Town, Grand Cayman. It flowered at Kew in October, 
1888, when it was described (Rolfe in Gard. Chron., 1888, ii. p. 532), as 
follows: ‘‘ Imagine a tuft of roots, long, flexuose, cylindrical, and greenish 
in colour, spreading in all directions from a very short tuft-like caudex, no 
leaves whatever, flowers two inches in diameter, the large bilobed lip pure 
white, the lanceolate acute segments of a most delicate greenish white, and — 
a slender pendulous spur seven inches long, and you have the new plant, 
almost a counterpart of D. funalis.” 
DENDROPHYLAax LINDENII is a third remarkable species, originally 
described by Lindley as Angraecum Lindenii (Gard. Chron., 1846, p. 135), 
from the forests of Cuba, but since found in several localities in Southern 
Florida. It is markedly different from the two preceding species in having 
the front of the lip extended in a pair of very long, acuminate, diverging 
lobes, which Lindley likened to tails. It is quite leafless, and depends on 
its long chlorophyll-bearing roots for subsistence. These creep over the 
bark and sometimes reach several feet in length, while the inflorescence is . 
branched and bears several large white Angreecum-like flowers. 
CAMPYLOCENTRUM is an allied American genus which has a group of 
about seven leafless species, extending from Brazil to the West Indies and 
South Mexico, one of them reaching the peninsula of Florida. The 
flowers are minute, white or buff, and borne in short racemes. Some of 
them were formerly included in Angrecum. Probably none of them are in 
cultivation. | 
ANGRACUM possesses several leafless species, a group of at least six 
being found in Tropical Africa, one. of them extending both to Natal and 
Madagascar, and another to Madagascar and Mauritius, while two or three 
additional species occur in Madagascar. One of the Tropical African 
species (A. Smithii, Rolfe), was formerly in cultivation at Kew. The allied 
genus Mystacidium has one leafless species, a native of South Africa-
