160 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (May, 1915. 
Staff. Mr. Reader has taken a great part in promoting the welfare of the 
Society, and his many friends will join us in congratulating him on a well- 
deserved recognition. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM CRISPUM VAR. THE ANGEL.—Respecting the origin of. 
this variety, which was figured at p. 75 of our March issue, Mr. Crawshay 
writes: ‘‘ It was sent from the Pacho district by John Carder among some 
15,000 others.’’ It is satisfactory to be able to clear up the matter. 
LipaRis BICUSPIDATA.—A very distinct and interesting Bornean Liparis 
has just flowered in the collection of the Hon. N. C. Rothschild, Ashton 
Wold, Oundle. . It proves identical with one that was collected in Dutch 
Borneo by A. W. Nieuwenhuis, and was described and figured by J. J- 
Smith (Ic. Bogor., ii. p. 45, t. 109, fig. 3). It is allied to L. lacerata, Ridl., 
which was imported from British Borneo at the same time (see O.K., 
xxi. p. 100), but is very different in the details of the lip. In this case there 
are two narrow, slightly diverging lobes from a rounded base, hence the 
name. The pseudobulbs are ovoid, of a light reddish colour, and bear a 
pair of oblong leaves. The raceme is elongate and drooping, with 
numerous buff-coloured flowers, becoming more red on the lip. Another 
ally is the Javan L. biloba, J. J: Smith. It is interesting to find the 
plant in cultivation.—R.A.R.

CYMBIDIUM INSIGNE ALBUM.—A very distinct and curious variety of 
Cymbidium insigne was exhibited at the meeting of the Manchester Orchid 
Society held on April 1st, by Philip Smith, Esq., Ashton-on-Mersey, 
under the name of C. insigne album, and received an Award of Merit. 
The usual rose-purple blotches on the lip have disappeared, being 
replaced by indistinct greenish-yellow markings, the rest of the flower 
being ivy-white. It appeared among a number of imported plants, in the 
collection of W. Bolton, Esq., Warrington.
