332 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Angrecum Lawrencee is represented by the original plant, and dates 
from 1883, together with Oncidium Phalenopsis and over a dozen others, 
while among those added in 1884 we note Mormodes luxatum, Zygopetalum 
Burkei, Vanda coerulescens, Ada aurantiaca, Oncidium Marshallianum, 
and ten others. Habenaria militaris, Cattleya Lawrenceana (the original 
plant), and five others, date from 1885; Phalenopsis Marie, Angraecum 
Scottianum, Cypripediums concolor and bellatulum, and eight others 
from 1886, and Grammatophyllum speciosum, Lelia purpurata, Bulbo- 
phyllums grandiflorum and longisepalum, Peristeria elata, and five others 
from 1887. The following year is credited with seventeen additions, 
among them Leptotes bicolor, Lelias Gouldiana and cinnabarina, and 
Catasetum barbatum, while 1889 claims Vanda Kimballiana and Amesiana, 
Odontoglossum grande and Uroskinneri, and Eulophia guineensis. The 
record now stops except for the single entry of Oncidium Jonesianum, 
which has been kept from 1893. 
We do not observe a single Bollea, Peristeria or Warscewiczella in 
the list, which is perhaps significant, and yet such proverbially difficult 
subjects can be kept for fifteen years or upwards under proper treatment, 
as was shown at pages 277 and 340 of our second volume. We have 
only been able to summarise Mr. White’s list, but it affords an interesting 
confirmation of a remark made by Sir Trevor Lawrence in the opening 
speech at the Orchid Conference in 1885 :—‘‘ I do not see,
