Lambeauianum) is represented by two seedlings from the same seed pod, 
and are quite diverse in colour. In one the sepals and petals are scarlet- 
red, with a whitish area above and below, while in the other they bear large 
chestnut blotches on a white ground, rather recalling an Odontoglossum, 
though with the Odontioda shape. In the latter case the sepals of the six 
flowers on the spike are not quite normal, but it is hoped this may not 
recur when the plant becomes stronger. 
Mr. Crossley sends some statistics of the long, cold weather we have 
just passed through, showiug that the mean temperature of December and 
the three following months was three to four degrees colder than the 
average of the last 29 years, and that April, up to the date of writing, had 
exceeded all previous experience, with frost varying from 4 to 23 degrees at 
night, and snow on most days, an exceptionally trying period for the 
cultivator. 
From the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., Evershot, Dorset, we have 
received another flower of Lelia Susanna, supposed to be a hybrid between 
L. pumila and Dayana (O.R., xxiii. p. 37). Mr. Clark states that the 
habit is fairly strong, suggestive of a large L. pumila, if not even of L, 
Jongheana. We are not quite clear about the L. Dayana parentage. 
The keels and some yellow deep in the throat, together with the rather 
elongated sepals and petals, are rather suggestive of L. Jongheana, and as 
the pollen is typical Lelia we suggest a form of L. Adrienne (pumila x 
Jongheana). A flower of Odontoglossum Electra (Andersonianum X 
triumphans) raised in the collection, is also sent, and is fairly intermediate 
in character. Two diverse forms of some Lelia tenebrosa cross were after- 
wards sent, but there is a doubt about the exact parentage. Some yellow 
in the sepals and petals of one of the flowers suggests the presence of L. 
cinnabarina. It is thought to have been raised from seed obtained with the 
record L. tenebrosa X Diana, but the point is not quite certain. The 
other has more bronzy sepals and petals, and both have purple lips.

CympiprumM Munronianum, King & Pantl.—Flowers of this rare 
Cymbidium have been sent from the collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., 
Northside, Leigh Woods, Bristol. The species is a native of Sikkim, and 
was described some years ago, and afterwards figured (Ann. R. Bot. Gard. 
Calc., viii. p. 187, t. 249), being dedicated to the late Mr. James Munro, 
for many years resident in Sikkim, and well known as a lover of plants. It 
is said to occur in the Teesta Valley, on dry knolls at the elevation of 
1,500 feet, and also in Bhootan. Ridley afterwards recorded it as also 
found at Bukit Bunga, Setul, in the Malay Peninsula, a plant from there 
having flowered in the Penang Botanic Garden. It is an ally of the 
Chinese C. ensifolium, Lindl., and has narrow leaves and erect racemes of
