THE ORCHID REVIEW. 299 
as for example a good batch of C. X tessellatum and C. X Ashburtonie, 
some of which have already bloomed, and now one of the former and ten 
of the latter are showing for flower. These are among the earlier crosses, 
but others are coming on rapidly and may be expected to yield some good 
things at an early date. 
In one of the seedling houses we noted distinct forms of Cypripedium 
Godefroye leucochilum, both with white and yellow grounds, and four 
plants of the beautiful Habenaria carnea nivosa in flower. Mr. Appleton 
certainly derives a large amount of pleasure from his collection, and we 
may hope that his experiments in hybridisation may yield results 
commensurate with the pains which he has bestowed upon them up to 
the present. 
NOVELTIES. 
LUEDDEMANNIA SANDERIANA, Kranzl.—A Columbian species, introduced 
from the neighbourhood of Medellin by Messrs. F. Sander & Co. It is 
said to resemble L. Lehmanni, Rchb. f., in general character, but to differ 
in having cream-coloured flowers, and a white lip with dense purple 
blotches and spots, and a very dark purple callus. The pendulous spikes 
bear from twenty to twenty-five flowers.—Gard. Chron., Aug. 28, p. 138. 
L&LI0-CATTLEYA X BROOMEANA, O’Brien.—A plant of Brazilian origin 
which flowered in the collection of Joseph Broome, Esq., Sunny Hill, 
Llandudno, bearing a general resemblance to some of the finest forms 
of L.-c X elegans, and chiefly differing in having the petals two inches 
broad, and the lip nearly entire. The sepals and petals are clear rosy 
mauve, and the side lobes of the lip white with purple-rose tips, and 
the broad front lobe rich crimson-purple.—Gard. Chron., Sept. II, p. 174. 
CIRRHOPETALUM CuRTIsII, Hook. f.—A pretty little species which recently 
flowered at Kew. It was collected at Panga, Tenasserim, by Mr. C. Curtis, 
F.L.S., Superintendent of the Forest Department, Penang, from whom it 
was received in September, 1895. It belongs to the group having the 
petals and dorsal sepal ciliate, its nearest allies being C. Roxburghii, LindL., 
C. gamosepalum, Griff., and C. concinnum, Hook. f. The habit is creeping, 
the leaves 4-4}in. long, slightly exceeding the scapes, which bear numerous 
whitish flowers, under }in. long, with the dorsal sepal and petals rose, and 
the lip bright yellow.—Bot. Mag., t. 7554. 
CIRRHOPETALUM PULCHELLUM, Ridl. Mss.—Another small species allied 
to the preceding, but differing in its smaller, broadly ovoid pseudobulbs, and 
differently coloured flowers, which are less crowded in the umbel and have 
longer lateral sepals. It is a native of Singapore.—Hook. f. Bot. Mag., 
sub t. 7554.
