ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. iS 
LOrchids are named and questions answered here as far as possible. Correspondents are 
requested to give the native country or parentage of plants sent. An ADDRESSED postcard must be 
sent if a ey by post is desired (abroad, reply postcards should be used ). Subjects of special 
interest will be dealt with in the body of the work]. 
E.R.—The name Cycnoches ventricosum is quite correct, as you will see by a note on 
another page. 
C.W.P.—The flowers are duly to hand, and will be reported on shortly. The Glossary 
B 
of Botanic Terms, by Dr. B. D. Jackson, Duckworth & Co., Philadelphia, should answer 
€ purpose. 
C.H.L.—Two or three of the names are at present uncertain, but we will report 
shortly. A dried flower of the subjects photographed would probably enable the names to 
be given. A note is held over. 
Photograph received, with thanks.—A. McB. 
W.W.—One of the seedlings of what is called Odontoglossum crispum Black Prince, 
which clearly has some unnewellianum in its composition. We believe the other 
parent was a form of O. crispum. 
G.J.—Many thanks. The note will appear in our next issue.
