HOULLETIA ODORATISSIMA XANTHINA. 
Tuts fine, deep yellow variety has again appeared in cultivation, having 
been introduced by M. FI. Claes, of Brussels. It was originally described 
by Reichenbach in 1884, from a plant which flowered in the collection of 
Baron Hruby, of Peckau, Kolin, Bohemia (Gard. Chron., 1884, xxii., p. 38), 
the flowers being described as fine orange yellow. Structurally it agrees 
with the type, but differs in having entirely lost the red markings, so that it 
must be regarded as a case of albinism. The species itself now seems to be 
very rare in cultivation, though it is a striking and handsome plant. It is 
a native of the province of Soto, on the east side of the River Magdalena, 
where it was met with by Schlim, and again in the Weinmannia forests near 
Ocana, whence living plants were introduced to M. Linden’s horticultural 
establishment at Brussels, It flowered for the first time in Europe in 
M. Pescatore’s collection at St. Cloud, near Paris, in 1852.
