plant that flowered in the collection of Hugh Dixon, Esq., of Sidney, about 
a year earlier. Bulbophyllum Balfourianum is a remarkable New Guinea 
species, allied to B. Fletcherianum, and with similar glaucous leaves, that 
also received an Award of Merit. Cypripedium papuanum is a curious 
species of the C, javanicum set that was introduced by Dr. Wollaston 
during a recent expedition to New Guinea, and flowered in the collection of 
the Hon. N. C. Rothschild, Ashton Wold, Oundle. Angrzecum birrimense 
is an interesting West African species, allied to A. Eichlerianum, that 
flowered at Kew about three months ago. Listrostachys Brownii, a 
Uganda species described a few years ago, flowered in the Royal Botanic 
Garden, Glasnevin. Among species chiefly of botanical interest there are 
several that have not yet been described. 
HyYBRIDs. 
It is to the hybridist that we now chiefly look for a constant stream of 
sterling novelties, and in this respect 1915 has probably been up to the 
average, though a somewhat reduced number have been shown, owing to 
the abnormal conditions. One of the most brilliant acquisitions of the year 
was unquestionably the beautiful Cattleya King-George (triumphans xX 
Dowiana Rosita), shown by Messrs. Flory & Black, while C. Lady-Veitch, 
raised by Messrs. Sander from albino forms of C. Lueddemanniana and C. 
Warneri, and figured at page 329 of our last volume, is another gem. Both 
gained First-class Certificates in October last. The same award went to 
Dendrobium Triumph (pulchellum x thyrsiflorum), shown by J. Gurney 
Fowler, Esq., to Odontioda Colmaniz, a brilliant deep yellow and scarlet 
hybrid from Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., and.to Leeliocattleya Alex (Lc. 
Tunis x C. Dowiana aurea), from Messrs. Stuart Low & Co. Other First- 
class Certificates were carried off by brilliant varieties of previously-known 
hybrids, and among these we must not omit to mention Cypripedium 
Christopher var. Grand Duke Nicholas and C. Pyramus Chardwar var., 
shown by F. G. Moore, Esq., at the first meeting of the year. 
— 
Among the novelties that gained Awards of Merit we may mention the 
beautiful Lzeliocattleya Fascinator-Mossie var. Moonlight and Odontioda 
Aphrodite, from: Messrs. Charlesworth & Co.; Disa Blackii, Cattleya 
Olympus, and Leliocattleya Nena, from Messrs. Flory & Black; Lelio- 
cattleya Gold-Star and Lc. St. Alban, from Messrs. Sander & Sons; Cattleya 
Ashtonie alba, and C. Ajax Primrose Dame, from Messrs. Armstrong 
& Brown; Cattleya Paula, Leliocattleya Helius, and Sophrocattleya Pearl, 
from Messrs. J. & A. McBean; and Cattleya Moira rubra from. Messrs. 
Hassall & Co., but there were a good many others, including some fine 
varieties of the older hybrids. Of seedlings flowering for the first time, in 
some cases undeveloped, a large number have been recorded in our pages,
