CYMBIDIUM CHLORANTHUM, Lindl.—A photograph and inflorescence of 
a Cymbidium, now in the collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., North- 
side, Leigh Woods, Bristol, has been received from Messrs. Sanders, St. 
Albans, who imported it from Java some eight years ago. The species has 
a very confused history. It was described by Lindley in 1843 (Bot. Reg., 
xxix. Misc. p. 68) as a Nepalese species which had flowered with Messrs. 
Loddiges, Hackney, and it was afterwards figured (Bot. Mag., t. 4907). In 
1854 the same thing was described by Reichenbach under the name of C. 
variciferum (Bonplandia, 1854, p- 91), from a plant which flowered with 
Messrs. Booth & Sons, at Hamburg, nothing being stated as to its history. 
In the Flora of British India, Sir Joseph Hooker remarked that the species 
‘was Australian, on what authority we have not discovered, but it may 
be regarded as a mistake, for it is identical with C. sanguinolentum, Teijsm. 
& Binn. (Tijdschr. Nederl. Ind., xxiv. p- 318), which is recorded as a native 
of Mt. Salak, Java, and which has been since figured (J. J. Sm. Orch. Jav., 
P- 479, lig. 364). Thus we find that the species has three specific names, 
and has been recorded from as many different localities. It is somewhat 
comparable with C. ensifolium in habit, having narrow leaves, and an 
erect spike of far more numerous flowers, with yellowish green sepals and 
petals, and a yellow lip spotted with red at the base. Messrs. Sanders now 
confirm the Javan habitat, and it is interesting to be able to clear up the —
