220 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OcToBER, 1917. 
Warscewicz, and a collection from Schlim, all containing descripticis é 
numerous novelties obtained by these collectors during their travels itl the 
Andes. In the following year we find papers on some Ecuadorean Orchids 
collected by Jameson, and some from Hong Kong by Hance and Secianindy 
with a paper entitled ‘‘ Notule Orchidacez,” in which various cultivate 
Orchids were described. There were also two or three short. papers. 
1856 appeared papers on the Peruvian Orchids of Ruiz & Pavon, th 
Mexican ones of Mirandola, and a longish paper bearing the whimsical title 
of ‘*Stipule Orchidacez MReichenbachiane intra Folia Lindleyana 
intraaxillares,”” whose character is indicated by the title. A year later came 
a paper on Zollinger’s Javan Orchids. In these several papers a large: 
number of novelties were described. 
In 1854 Reichenbach commenced his Xenia Orchidacea, a quarto work’ 
devoted to the description and illustration of Orchids in general. This 
appeared in parts, at intervals, the first volume being completed in 1858, 
and it continued down to 1883, when a third part of volume iii. appeared. 
Some of the plates are partly coloured, but the majority are in black and 
white, and some of the sketches are rather diagrammatic. 
At the same time short papers were appearing in various works, and one 
in the Botanische Zeitung for 1862, is interesting as containing species from: 
British collections, namely, Cypripedium Dayanum from Mr. John Day, of 
Tottenham, and Phalenopsis Lowii, Dendrobium Bullenianum, D. 
Draconis, and a few others from Messrs. Hugh Low & Co. In the 
following year we find Dendrobium Parishii from Messrs. Hugh Low 
& Co. and Bulbophyllum psittacoglossum from Mr. Day. In 1864 we find 
Odontoglossum Warnerianum and O. leucomelas from the collection of 
Mr. Robert Warner, of Chelmsford, in addition to some from the previously- 
mentioned contributors. 
In 1865 appeared the earliest contribution to an English journal that we 
know of, for the Journal of Botany for that year opened with an account of 
** Neotinea intacta, the new Irish Orchid,” the paper being illustrated by a 
partly-coloured plate. The announcement that the plant had been 
discovered in County Galway by Miss More had been made a few miOnEny 
earlier, and Reichenbach remarked: “ This was a great botanical surprise,” 
the species being chiefly a native of the countries bordering on the 
Mediterranean. The paper dealt with its structure and distribution. 
In 1865 we also find, in the Botanische Zeitung, a paper on “ Zwei neue. 
Phalenopsis.” The species were P. Lueddemanniana and P. Parishii, and 
the paper was written from Kew, and dated April 26, 1865. It was in this: 
year that Reichenbach’s long connection with the Gardeners’ Chronicle 
began, the earliest contribution that we find being in the issue for May 6th, 
the date of his death 24 years later. It related to the two species of-
