THE ORCHID REVIEW. 37 
LANIUM BeERKELEYI, Rolfe.—The third known species of this curious 
little genus, and a native of Brazil. It was found by Major-Gen. E. S. 
Berkeley in a clump of Cattleya guttata, and flowered in June, 1891, being 
afterwards imported by Messrs. F. Sander and Co. The flowers are small, 
and light green, with numerous minute red-brown dots on the sepals, petals, 
and base of the column.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 392. 
EPIDENDRUM Pravil, Rolfe—A stately Costa Rican species, of which 
dried specimens and coloured drawings were sent to Kew by Mr. Richard 
Pfau. It is allied to the Brazilian E. Cooperianum, and grows from four to 
six feet high, the flowers being pinkish purple with a white disc to the lip, 
and borne in numerous racemes at the summit.— Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 392. 
POLYSTACHYA VILLOSA, Rolfe—-A very distinct and interesting little 
plant, native of the Upper Zambesi, which flowered with Mr. J. O’Brien in 
September, 18go, and recently with M. A. Van Imschoot, of Gand. It has 
a softly villose inflorescence of pale whitish green flowers, resembling some 
species of sphagnum in colour. The lip is white, with a light yellow line 
on the basal half, and some minute purple spots on the disc.—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, Pp. 393: 
CHONDRORHYNCHA BICOLOR, Rolfe.—An interesting species described 
from materials sent by Mr. Richard Pfau from Costa Rica. It has the 
habit of a Warscewiczella, and bears largish white flowers with some 
purple markings on the middle and base of the lip.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, 
P- 393: 
CarasetuM Lemosu, Rolfe.—A Brazilian species given by Dr. Lemos, 
Superintendent of Schools for the province of Para, to E. S. Rand, Esq., of 
the same place, in whose collection it flowered recently. It also flowered 
in the collection of M. Robinow, Esq., of Didsbury, in May, 1892. The 
sepals and petals are brownish flesh colour, ultimately becoming tawny 
yellow, and the lip light-green with some yellow inside. It is the C. 
roseum of Rodriguez, but has been re-named because there is an older 
species of the same name.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 394- 
Carasetum Ranpu, Rolfe.—A very interesting little plant, which also 
flowered in the collection of E. S. Rand, Esq., of Para. Its affinity is with 
C. Garnettianum, Rolfe, a sort of miniature edition of the well-known 
C. barbatum, but in its short, brush-like crest is unlike any other. Flowers 
of both sexes were produced, being wholly dissimilar in structure, the 
females apple-green in colour, with fleshy, erect, hood-shaped lip, but the 
males irregularly dotted with purple-brown on a green ground, and with 
much fringed pendulous lip. A living plant has also been sent to Kew.— 
Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 394.
