Faphiopedilum x barbato-Charlesworthii has improved considerably 
since it was described at page 48 of our last volume, as is evident from a 
flower sent from the collection of W. H. Lumsden, Esq., Balmedie, Aber- — 
deenshire, by Mr. G. W. Cummins. The dorsal sepal is now two inches 
broad, deep rose-purple at the base, and beautifully reticulated with a 
rather lighter colour on a white ground on the upper half and margin. The 
petals, lip, and staminode rather incline towards P. barbatum in character, 
and are very prettily suffused with purple. It is a charming little plant. 
Mr. Cummins, we are sorry to learn, 
3 is leaving Balmedie, and hopes to 
meet with an engagement in the south, as 
he finds the northern climate very 
trying during winter and spring. His abilities are well known, and we 
hope that he will soon meet with a suitable engagement,
