branched, and bore thirty-six flowers, of which the terminal one is double, 

 consisting of two distinct lips, two columns united side by side, each having 

 a perfect anther, three petals and five sepals. Both the plants are very 

 interesting. 



An extremely good, dark flower of Odontoglossum Rossii majus is sent 

 from the collection of R. le Doux, Esq., Marlfield, West Derby, Liverpool. 

 Mr. Davenport remarks that O. Rossii makes a pretty show at the present 

 time, the plants, bearing twelve to sixteen flowers in five-inch pots, being 

 very useful for dinner table decorations. 



Several good Paphiopedilums are sent from the collection of O. O. 

 Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers, including three good 

 forms of P. X Euryades, P. X Sallieri, P. X S. Hyeanum, and P. X S. 

 virens, the latter raised in the collection, P. X Lathamianum Bridge Hall 

 var., and P. X Melia, a very pretty hybrid between P. X Calypso Oakwood 

 var. and P. insigne Sanderianum. The fine Cattleya Triana Smiling Morn, 

 to which an Award of Merit was given at Manchester the other day, is also 



Another form of Paphiopedilum X Charlesianum is sent from the collec- 

 tion of Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool. It was raised from 

 P. X Sallieri Hyeanum ? and P. X Leeanum Masereelianum $ , the seed 

 being sown in December, 1895. Two or three other seedlings are also sent 

 whose proper names are still somewhat uncertain, so contradictory are some 

 of the records. It will be best to defer dealing with these for the present. 



A good, well coloured form of Lgelia anceps is sent from the collection of 

 J. Richardson, Esq., Hale, near Altrincham, by Mr. Jenkins, together with 

 a flower of Cymbidium Tracyanum. They are from imported plants. 



A flower of the handsome Lycaste X Lucianiana, a natural hybrid 

 between L. Skinneri and L. lasioglossa, is sent from the collection of Frau 

 Ida Brandt, of Zurich, together with a small green-flowered species, allied 

 to L. xytriophora, whose identity is rather uncertain. 



Vanilla Giulianettii. — This new species of Vanilla — a native of New 

 Guinea— is described by Mr. F. M. Bailey in the Queensland Agricultural 

 Journal for October, 1900 (vii., p. 350). The specimens, which are marked 

 as "indigenous Vanilla," are said to consist of stem, leaves, and fruits pre- 

 served in spirit, and, although flowers are not yet known, the plant has been 

 identified as a species of Vanilla allied to the Javan V. albida, Blume. The 

 fruits are described as eight inches long by ten lines broad. It is named after 

 its discoverer, Mr. A. Giulianetti, Government Naturalist of New Guinea. 

 The genus was not previously known from further east than Borneo and
