For the loan of the portrait block of Sir F. W. Moore, used to illustrate 
our article at page 241, we are indebted to the Editor of the Gardeners’ 
Chronicle. The acknowledgement was omitted last month by an oversight. 
A very fine plant of Dendrobium aggregatum, growing in the gardens 
of the Agri-Horticultural Society of Burma, Kandawglay, ‘Rangoon, is 
figured in a recent issue of the Gardeners’ Chronicle (1911, li. p. 82, fig. 38). 
It appears to be growing on a pillar of some kind as high as the eaves of 
the house, and bears its graceful pendulous racemes of yellow flowers in. 
profusion. We have never seen it in such perfection in England.
