112 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, IQII 
every fortnight, and pure rain water, which in winter should be tepid, must 
only be used for this purpose and for direct application to the plants. 
For compost use a mixture of polypodium fibre, sphagnum moss, and 
oak leaves, and place a layer of living sphagnum on the surface. Keep the 
plants well shaded until they have become quite re-established in their new 
compost ; afterwards they will stand a fair amount of sunlight. 
When the plant has become too large for the pot in which it is growing, 
remove it to one of larger size, the operation being carried out directly a 
fresh growth is starting, after its period of rest. If it is desired to increase 
the stock, divide it when repotting, as it is remarkably free growing, 
and each portion will soon make a fresh growth. 
As regards the most suitable amount of heat for this Orchid, 50° Fahr. 
must be regarded as the lowest winter temperature, with a proportional 
rise in spring, 65° Fahr. being the average autumn and lowest summer 
temperature. ALWYN HARRISON. 
This interesting Bulbophyllum was originally exhibited by Messrs. 
Sander, and received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S., in June, 
1890, under the name of Sarcopodium Godseffianum, being dedicated to 
Mr. J. Godseff, Messrs. Sander’s able manager. It is said to have been 
introduced from the South Philippines. It was then described and figured 
as Bulbophyllum Godseffianum (Gard. Mag., 1890, p. 540, with fig.). For 
our figure we are indebted to Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher, Rawdon, Leeds. 
Though generally cultivated under the name of B. Godseffianum, we 
do not know how it can be distinguished from the earlier B. Dearei 
(Reichb. f. in Flora, 1888, p. 156). That originally appeared in 1883, 
being exhibited at South Kensington by Lt.-Col. Deare, of Englefield 
Green, as Sarcopodium Dearei, when it was described and figured (Gard. 
Chron., 1885, ii, p. 109, fig. 17). In May, 1890, it was exhibited by the late 
Baron Schroder, and received an Award of Merit, when it was said to be a 
native of Borneo. It was also introduced from Borneo by Messrs. 
Linden, and Peured in Lindenia, viii. t. 345. iP Bye Sie: | 
SATYRIUM CORUFOLIUM, says Mr. Bolus (Orch. Cape Peninsula, page 124), 
is one of the commonest species on the Peninsula, and one of the longest 
in flower. It is especially abundant on the Flats, where insatiable flower- 
gatherers in spring carry off large bundles of the scapes. The flowers are 
a clear bright orange, more or less varying to or tinged with a flame- 
coloured red. The colour seems constant, and easily distinguishes this 
species from any other, though I have seen plants from Diep River which 
seemed to be hybrids between this species and S. carneum, and which had 
salmon-coloured flowers only slightly modified in structure.
