THE ORCHID REVIEW. 349 
different lists, and one comes across the name again, it is only natural to 
suppose that the same thing is intended, and not something difterent, as in 
the present instance. Mr. O’Brien appears to think that the first C. Kim- 
ballianum must be ignored because none of the five lists contain a description, 
but this rule does not apply when any previously published description can 
be cited, and in the present case there is such a description, for the plant 
was first described and figured as C. prestans var. Kimballianum. The 
only question is whether C. Kimballianum, Ballif, is identical with this plant, 
and of this no doubt can exist, for the author himself first enumerated it as 
C. prestans var. Kimballianum, but afterwards very erroneously made a 
species of it. We cannot find any character to separate it even as a 
variety. Part of the confusion arose through the erroneous locality ascribed 
to C. Rothschildianum, and the attempt made to represent C. novoguineense 
as synonymous with C. Rothschildianum, instead of with C. preestans, was 
probably due to the same cause. No one is bound to divulge the locality 
of a meritorious new garden plant, but we certainly have a right to expect 
that whatever is published shall not be deliberately erroneous. This 
incident about Cypripedium Kimballianum is instructive in more ways 
than one. Ep.]|
