AucusT, 1914] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 23) 
Dendrobium Burberryanum in 1897; the beautiful Sophrocattleya Chamber- 
lainii in 1898; Brassocattleya Mariz and Dendrobium Achilles in 1902; and 
Dendrobium Ariel and Brassolzlia Rolfei in 1903—the latter named by 
Mr. Chamberlain in compliment to the Editor of this journal ‘‘ and as a 
tribute to what he is doing for Orchidology.” Mr. Chamberlain was 
always a warm friend of the Orchid Review, and many interesting things 
have been forwarded from his collection, the last that we remember being 
two hybrid Leliocattleyas recorded at pp. 347, 348 of our eighteenth 
volume. He was also a contributor, and his articles on the Nomenclature 
of Hybrids at pp. 133-135 and 359 of our fourth volume show that he was 
a close observer, and had a lively appreciation of the necessities of the case. 
Mr. Chamberlain’s love of Orchids was deep and enduring. A bouquet 
of Transvaal Orchids was one of the most appreciated of many presentations 
to him on his visit to South Africa, and living plants of Ansellia gigantea 
was one of the souvenirs brought home on his return. His hobby was a 
solace from the cares of public life, and remained with him to the end. 
His name is indissolubly connected with Orchidology, for besides plants 
mentioned above we recall Lzlia anceps Chamberlainiana and Cypripedium 
Chamberlainianum as having been named in his honour, though he rather 
regretted the latter on the ground that he was not much interested in 
Cypripediums. It may be added that Mr. Chamberlain was for many 
years, and until his death, a Vice-President of the Royal Horticultural 
Society.

STANHOPEA GUTTULATA.—An interesting Stanhopea, which was bought 
from the collection of the late Mrs. Brandt, of Zurich, has been sent for 
determination by Herr Siebert, Director of the Palmengarten, Frankfurt. 
It proves to be S. guttulata, Lindl., one of the lesser known species and an 
ally of S. oculata. It was described by Lindley in 1843 (Bot. Reg., xix. 
Misc. p. 75) from a single flower received from the collection of J, H. 
Wanklyn, Esq., of Crampwell- House, but nothing was stated about its 
Origin. A few years later it was figured (Gard. Chreon., 1848, p- 439), 
but nothing further was added to its history. In 1852, however, another 
figure appeared (Lem. Jard. Fleur., iii. t. 309), from a plant said to have 
been imported from Brazil by M. de Jonghe. It has also another name, 
for in 1846 it was figured as S. gravolens (Ann. de Gand, ii. t. 54); but it is 
hot Lindley’s plant of that name. The elongated hypochil of the lip 
Indicates a near affinity with the Mexican S. oculata, Lindl., but it is readily 
distinguished by its darker colour, and by the flower being heavily spotted 
with dark purple brown throughout. It is rarely met with in cultivation. 
There are several other imperfectly known species of this remarkable 
S€0us.—R.A.R,
