Phalenopsis Stobartiana, Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron., 1877, ii. p. 392, may 
possibly belong to this genus, but the oe is quite inadequate, and 
the habitat is unrecorded. R. A. ROLFE. 
CYPRIPEDIUM SEDENII ABNORMAL.—A curious abnormal state of Cypri- 
pedium Sedenii has appeared in the Kew collection. It occupies the apex 
of a side branch of the inflorescence, and the ovary is confluent with the 
axis above the third bract, the axis thus being much dilated and flattened. 
The two petals are modified into imperfect lips, both as regards colour and 
markings, and inside these are two additional, much smaller lips, while the 
staminode and stigma are abnormal in shape. At the apex of the fasciated 
floral axis are two additional buds, the upper in the axil of a short bract 
and the lower without a bract, and both appear to be developing normally 
in other respects. C. Sedenii is a hybrid between C. Schlimii and C. 
longifolium, and it has established a reputation for producing abnormal 
flowers, a good many of which have been described, but we do not 
remember one with this particular character, which is doubtless due to one 
of the flowers remaining confluent with the axis.
