as yellow. It is said to be near C. Calceolus, but to have broader leaves, 
though it may be a variety of it. 
These, if all are distinct, would bring the number of species up to 36, 
of which 22 are exclusively Asiatic, 12 exclusively American, and two—C. 
arietinum and C. guttatum—common to both. The Asiatic species are 
most common in China, where 16 are found, of which C. japonicum occurs 
also in Japan, C. tibeticum in Northern India, and C. arietinum in North 
Temperate America, while C. guttatum extends from Central Russia, 
through Asia to Alaska. Three others occur in the Himalayas, two in 
Japan, and three in Siberia (one, however, being doubtful), and of these 
C. Calceolus extends westward to Europe, as far as Britain. The 14 
American species are northern with the exception of C. Irapeanum, a large 
yellow-flowered species which is a native of Mexico and Guatemala. 
Two of the Asiatic species have been introduced to cultivation since our 
previous enumeration, both by Mr. E. H. Wilson, namely C. tibeticum and 
C. luteum. The former flowered with Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, in 
April, 1905, and was figured at t. 8070 of the Botanical Magazine. Itis an 
ally of C. macranthum, and occurs in the Chino-Tibet borderland at 
10,000-13,000 feet elevation. Its extreme abundance may be seen in a 
photograph by Mr. Wilson (QO.R., xxi. p. 81, fig. 22). C. luteum flowered 
at the Arnold Arboretum in May, Igt1, and closely resembles 'C. Reginz 
except in having yellow flowers. Its history and figure have already 
appeared (O.R., xxi. p. 80, fig. 21). 
As to the other cultivated species, C. speciosum and C. Franchetii are 
mentioned above, while C. macranthum and C. Calceolus are too well 
Known to require description. C. japonicum is remarkable for its palm- 
like leaves, the veins radiating to the extreme margin, while the sepals and 
petals are greenish, and the large white lip has a few purple veins. C. 
guttatum is a very pretty little plant, having medium-sized white flowers, 
with large red-purple blotches (Bot. Mag., t- 7746). Lastly, C. debile is a 
very singular Japanese species, bearing a pair of nearly opposite cordate 
leaves, and a small drooping flower, with light green sepals and petals, anda 
small white lip, veined with purple round the mouth (Bot. Mag., t. 8183). The 
other Chinese species, so far as we know, are not yet in cultivation. R.A.R.

CaTTLeyaA Warscewiczil var. Mrs. E. AsHWwoRTH.—This 1s a very 
beautiful variety of C. Warscewiczil, differing from the type in having 
blush-pink flowers, and the blotches in the throat very light yellow. A fine 
plant was exhibited at the recent Holland House Show by Messrs. Charles- 
worth & Co., Haywards Heath, and received a First-class Certificate. The 
Variety has been known for some eighteen years, for it was exhibited at a 
meeting of the R.H.S. held on July 27th, 1897, by E. Ashworth, Esq.,
