150 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JuLy-Aucust, 1918, 
Miltonias, however, are just beginning to flower, and will make a good 
display during the autumn. 
A few other interesting things may be mentioned, as Dendrobium regium, 
a handsome summer-blooming plant, Eria rhynchostyloides, a Javan species 
that is again producing numerous spikes, though the flowers do not last 
long, Ccelogyne speciosa, and the rare C. corrugata. The striking 
Bulbophyllum virescens is also throwing up two strong inflorescences, and 
the rose-coloured Ccelia macrostachya is again showing for bloom. Hardy 
Orchises, which made such a show on the rockwork, are now over, the last 
of the series being Orchis pyramidalis, with ovoid heads of bright rose- 
purple flowers.

ANGULOA BREVILABRIS, Rolfe.— Some additional plants of this interesting 
Anguloa have appeared in cultivation, flowers having been received for 
determination from the collections of Mrs. E. J. Thatcher, Chew Magna, 
Somerset, and of W. Bolton, Esq., Wilderspool, Warrington. A third has 
flowered at Kew, this having been obtained under the name of A. Ruckeri. 
The true A. Ruckeri also flowered at Kew a few days later, affording 
materials for comparison. The history of A. brevilabris was given three 
years ago (O.R., xxiii. p. 292). Some plants of a red-flowered Anguloa, 
that had been imported with A. Cliftonii, were exhibited at the Holland 
House Show by Messrs. Sander and Sons, under the name of A. Rucker, 
and the general similarity to that species was so great that no differ- 
ence was noticed. The point of interest then was that a natural hybrid 
flowered out of the importation, and was exhibited by Messrs. Sander 
(together .with both its parents) under the name of Anguloa Rolfel 
(O.R., xxili. p. 255). A plant from the same importaticn also flowered 
in the collection of Walter Cobb, Esq., and a flower was submitted 
for determination, when it was noticed that the lip was totally 
different in structure from A. Ruckeri. And as A. Cliftonii is @ 
native of the western Andes of Antioquia, it was obvious that the habitat 
was also different. This led to the examination of a plant which Lehmann 
had collected, in September, 1891, between Cativo and Buritica, om thé 
western Andes of Antioquia, and on soaking out a flower of this the lip was 
seen to be identical in structure. The western plant has very broad, truncate 
side lobes, and a very short, obtuse front lobe, while in A. Ruckeri the side 
lobes are rounded and the front lobe longer and acute. A. Ruckeri is 4 
native of the eastern Cordillera of Columbia, between Pamplona and 
Bucamaranga, where A. Clowesii also grows, and it is a curious coincidence | 
that here also a natural hybrid occurs, namely A. media, Rchb. f., which | 
had previously been obtained by intercrossing A. Clowesii and A. Rucker!
