208 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
GRAMMATOPHYLLUM RUMPHIANUM. 
Some little uncertainty has been felt about the correct names of one or 
two fine Grammatophyllums which have appeared in cultivation during the 
last few years. One of these obtained the garden name of G. Seegerianum, 
but soon proved to be the above species, described many years ago by 
Miquel (Ann. Mus. Bot., iv. p. 219, tt. 8, 9). It was known to. Rumphius 
something like a century-and-a-half ago, and was originally found in 
the Moluccas. Two fine plants are now flowering at Kew, bearing long 
racemes of 48 and 50 flowers respectively. One is labelled ‘“‘ Kuhdah, 
Borneo,” which indicates its habitat. The other is Grammatophyllum 
Guilielmi II. (Kranzlin in Gartenflora, 1884, p. 115), which proves to be the 
old G. Rumphianum. It is a noble species, and its long racemes of large 
greenish yellow flower with large purple-brown blotches are very effective.

CATTLEYA WARSCEWICZII SANDERZ. 
At the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society held on June 11th, 
a superb group of five plants of the above splendid Cattleya was exhibited 
by Mr. James Hamilton, gardener to Hamar Bass, Esq., Byrkley, Burton-on- 
Trent, and received both a Silver Banksian Medal and a First-class 
Certificate. All five came from the source, being purchased with seven 
others at one.of Messrs. Sander’s sales at Protheroe & Morris’ Rooms, in 
1890. The flowers are large and perfect in form, also very richly coloured, 
the lip being massive and the two eyes in the throat bright yellow. It is 
one of the best developed forms of the species which we have seen, with 
segments rather shorter and broader than in the type, though we have 
previously met one or two other similar forms. : 
RENANTHERA IMSCHOOTIANA. 
Another plant of the brilliant crimson Renanthera Imschootiana has 
appeared, this time in the collection of E. H. Woodall, Esq., St. Nicholas 
House, Scarborough, who exhibited it at the Royal Horticultural Society’s 
meeting on June r1th, when it received an Award of Merit. It originally 
flowered in the collection of M. A. Van Imschoot, of Mont-St-Amand, Gand., 
in 1891, in which year it was described (Rolfe in Kew Bulletin, p. 200). It 
has the brilliant colour of the well-known Renanthera coccinea, with the 
great advantage of a dwarf habit. In fact, both plants have flowered when 
under a foot high, so that it should become popular when better known. It 
is a native of Burma, and appeared in one of Messrs. F. Sander & Co.’s 
importations. The former plant bore a raceme of seven flowers, but Mr. 
Woodall’s has twice that number. It should be grown like a dwarf Vanda.
