PHRAGMIPEDILUM SARGENTIANUM. 
EHRAGMIPEDILUM SARGENTIANUM is an interesting Brazilian species 
which was introduced from Pernambuco by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., and 
flowered for the first time in 1893, when it was described in these tft 
under the name of Selenipedium Sargentianum (vol. i., p. 239), being dedi- 
cated to Prof. Sargent, director of the Arboretum of Havard University. 
Our illustration is reproduced from a photograph kindly sent by Oakes 
Ames, Esq., of North Easton, Mass., U.S.A., and shows its general 
characters very clearly. It is most allied to P. Lindleyanum, a native of 
Fic. 47. PHRAGMIPEDILUM SARGENTIANUM. 
Mount Roraima, but among other characters may be distinguished by a 
Pair of small, white tubercles on the side lobes of the lip. The general 
§tound colour is light greyish green, suffused with light pink on the upper 
sepal, veined with purplish red at the apex and along the margins of the 
petals, and marbled with light brown on the side lobes of the lip. It is not 
any common in cultivation, and we have not yet heard of any hybrids from 
It, though seedlings may be in existence which have not yet reached the 
flowering stage.
