Several interesting mementos of the recent Chelsea Show appear in 
the last: two issues of the horticultural press. The Gardeners’ Chromcle 
figures Cattleya citrina in Mr. J. Gurney Fowler’s group, the fine group 
staged by Messrs. J. Cypher & Sons, and the handsome Leliocattleya 
Sibyl Low’s var., and the Gardeners’ Magazine has Odontoglossum crispum 
Queen of the Belgians, Odontioda Lambeauiana var. Nellie, and Lelio- 
cattleya Gold-Star. Messrs. Cypher’s artistic group seemed to catch the 
eye, for we find illustrations also in the Garden and the Journal of 
Horticulture. 
The death is announced at Toronto, Canada, on May 5th, of Mr. E. T. 
Cook, for several years Editor of The Garden, and Honorary Secretary of the 
Horticultural Club. Some years ag> he went to Canada, where*he assisted 
in the formation of the National Rose Society of Canada, of which he was 
elected first president.

Uganda.” After ‘a brief outline of the history of Uganda from a botanical 
standpoint, Mr. Dawe pointed out that although our knowledge extends 
back for over fifty years it is only during the last fifteen years that we have 
acquired a knowledge of the flora as a whole, and that much still remains to 
be done. The position of Uganda is east-central, and it has affinities with 
all the surrounding regions, but the plants of the tropical rain forests show 
a remarkable affinity with the West African coast flora, some of which 
extend right across the continent. There were many interesting Orchids, 
including the remarkable Angrecum infundibulare, which had been
