144 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1914 
placed in the Cattleya house in close proximity to the light, in order to : 
thoroughly mature the new bulbs, otherwise it is somewhat shy in producing 
its pendulous spikes of pale rose flowers. Plenty of water must be given 
while in active growth, but when this is finished a long rest is taken, under 
cooler and drier conditions. 
ANGULOAS.—Although only a few species are known, they are all useful 
Orchids to cultivate, particularly the yellow Anguloa Clowesii, which 
usually attracts the attention of visitors at the Chelsea Show. Many will 
be showing their flower scapes, and any necessary repotting must wait until 
they are over, but those that may not be flowering can be repotted without 
further delay. A portion of fibrous loam should be added to the usual 
compost, and the plants grown in the Intermediate house. For a few, | 
weeks after disturbance water should be moderately applied, and the young 
growths ought to be shaded from direct sunlight, but as maturity is reached. 
they must receive all the light possible. i 
LycastTEs are for the most part vigorous-rooting subjects, and therefore 
need ample pot room. The cultural requirements are much the same 4s 
with Anguloas, but the popular L. Skinneri will also succeed at the warmest, 
end of the Cool division. Heavy shade is not recommended, and an alty 
atmosphere suits them best. A good supply of water is essential through- 
out the growing season, and when at rest the soil should be kept just moist, 
LycasTE DYERIANA.—This distinct and rare Lycaste differs from the. 
usual type in regard to its culture. It should be grown in a downward 
position, similar to the well-known Cattleya citrina, and only a small 
quantity of soil is needed. It should be suspended near the roof glass - : 
the Intermediate division. See: 
SATYRIUM Botusu.—Under the formula Satyrium coriifolium x. 
carneum is figured (Bolus Orch. S. Afr., iii. t. 36) a remarkable natural 
hybrid Satyrium, whose history is thus given: ‘‘ Described from three: 
living specimens, which were found by Mr. Bodkin growing widely apart 
but near and among plants of S. coriifolium and S. carneum. In thé 
specimen drawn the bracts were spreading and in the other two reflexed 
and narrow. The spike is stouter than is usual in S. coriifolium. Colout 
of the flowers dull orange, nearly salmon colour shading to red on the crest 
and spurs; young bracts dull red, older greenish-brown or pinkish-brow? 
with green veins ; scape red-brown.” The locality is sandy flats near Retreat 
Station, on the Cape Peninsula. It is probably the plant mentioned ak Ps 
112 of our nineteenth volume as having been found at Diep River, and ras 
seemed to be a hybrid between the two species mentioned. S. Guthriel, 
originally described as a species (Bolus, l.c., i. t. 21), is also believed to be @ 
natural hybrid (see O.R., i. p. 269). R.A.
