The original V. insignis (O.R., xix. pp. 60, 75) was based on an 
erroneous record, and has been cancelled, as it proved to be synonymous 
with Miltonioda Harwoodii (see O.R., xix. p. 171).

HIS striking Catasetum, probably the finest species in the genus, has- 
become very rare of late years, and it was interesting to see a fine 
plant of it, from the collection of Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., at the 
R.H.S. meeting held on August 31st last. It bore a spike of nine ivory 
white flowers, and was awarded a First-class Certificate. It may be 
interesting to recall the history of the species. Catasetum pileatum was 
described in 1882 (Rchb. f. in Gard. Chron., 1882, i. p. 492), from dried 
materials sent by Messrs. Linden, Brussels, which were said to have been 
obtained from Venezuela. The specific name was given in allusion to its 
exceptionally broad, cap-shaped lip. Further materials were sent four 
years later, and a second note appeared (J.c., 1886, ii. p. 616), in which its 
striking resemblance to Mormodes luxatum was pointed out. 
In 1886 a Catasetum was described and figured under the name of C. 
Bungerothii (N.E.Br. in Lindenia, ii. p. 21, t. 57), being based on a drawing 
sent to Messrs. Linden by their collector Bungeroth. On Decemsber 13th 
of that year plants were sold at Stevens’ Rooms by Messrs. Linden, when 
a living plant, bearing a spike of seven flowers, was shown. This plant 
passed into the collection of Baron Schréder, and the best plant is said to 
have realised fifty guineas. Shortly afterwards a plant flowered in the 
collection of F. G. Tautz, Esq., Studley House, Hammersmith, of which a 
figure appeared (Gard. Chron., 1887, i. pp. 139, 143 fig. 32 and suppl. fig.), 
and in August following a plant was exhibited by Baron Schréder at a 
meeting of the R.H.S., and received a First-class Certificate.
