64 THE ORCHID REVIEW. ]MaRCH, 1917. 
B AERIDES VANDARUM. ee 
OMPARATIVELY few East Indian Orchids succeed in the Odonto- 
glossum house, but the striking Aérides Vandarum, here figured, is 
one of the exceptions, for a plant of it is again flowering very freely at 
Kew, at one end of this house, where it has had a permanent position on a 
raft for years, and steadily increases in size. Its slender, whip-like leaves

give it a very distinct appearance, and the flowers are attractive, their 
colour being white, slightly flushed with pink. The position, however, is 
not essential, for Messrs. Cypher grow it equally well in the cool Inter- 
mediate house. It isa native of the Khasia Hills and Munipur, and has 
been known since 1857, when it flowered with Mr. Parker, of Tooting, and 
was figured under the erroneous name of A. cylindrieum (Bot. Mag., t. 4982)- 
The history of the species has already been given (O.R., xiii. pp. 60, 61).
