264 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Brazilian Cattleya granulosa was credited to Guatemala and Mr. Skinner 
by Lindley, so that it is evident that some records got astray. Some 
day additional materials may come to hand which will help to settle some 
of these doubtful questions, and now that renewed interest is being taken 
in this remarkable genus I would again express the hope that some one will 
re-introduce C. aureum, which is probably the handsomest species known. 
The work of clearing up the history of a genus which has been so much 
confused as Cycnoches is necessarily slow, but it is satisfactory that 
materials are gradually coming to hand for this purpose.

CYPRIPEDIUM FLOWERING AND SEEDING ON THE 
SAME SCAPE. 
Ihave a plant of Cypripedium Boxallii magnificum which I fertilized with 
the pollen of another fine variety of a different kind last February; a seed 
pod duly formed and swelled, and is apparently full of seed not yet any- 
thing like ripe. Latterly a bud has appeared on the same spike, below the 
seed pod, and is now on the point of opening into flower. Has an 
occurrence of a similar nature on a Cypripedium ever been known? I shall 
be glad to be informed on this point, as perhaps some of your subscribers 
can throw some light on the question.

[A similar instance is recorded at page 262 of our second volume, but in 
this case it was C. Chamberlainianum, which regularly produces a 
succession of flowers. Our readers may know of other instances.—ED.] 
NOVELTIES. 
PLEUROTHALLIS AUTRANIANA, Kranzl.—A species which flowered in the 
collection of Madame W. Barbey-Boissier, of La Pierriére, near Chambésy, 
Switzerland. Its habitat is not known, but it is said to be allied to P. 
longissima, Lindl. The flowers are borne in racemes, the colour being 
light yellow, with the petals and lip hyaline, and spotted and striped with 
purple-brown.— Bull. Herb. Boiss., iii., P- 357: 
DENDROBIUM GLOMERIFLORUM, Kranzl.—A small flowered species of 
the section Pedilonum, which flowered in the establishment of Messrs. F. 
Sander & Co., St. Albans. The small pale flesh-coloured flowers are borne 
in clusters of one to five on the old stems. The habitat is marked as 
doubtful, and its exact affinity is not stated, but it would appear to be most 
allied to D. bracteosum, Rchb. f.—Gard. Chron., Aug. 24, p. 200.
