SoBRALIA RUCKERI.—With reference to your article on Sobralia 
Charlesworthii and S. Ruckeri (page 119), it may be interesting to note 
that about ten years ago I sent a dried flower of a Sobralia to Messrs. Hugh 
Low & Co., who, after submitting it to Kew, reported that it was thought 
to be S. Roezlii, which, so far as they knew, had never been cultivated in 
rlesworthii agrees more or less with 
Europe. Your description of S. Cha 
loured, and the band on the lip 
my plant, except that mine is more claret-co.
