7° THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Royal Gardens at Kew, by John Frost, Esq., with the request that it 
might be called Stanhopea insignis, in compliment to the Right Hon. 
Philip Henry, Earl Stanhope, the noble President of the Medico-Botanical 
Society of London.” It flowered in October 1827. 
A foot note here supplies evidence of the appearance of our finest 
Zygopetalum. It is described asa splendid plant from the collection of 
Richard Harrison, Esq., of Aigburth, near Liverpool, having flowers twice 
the size of those of Z. Mackaii (previously figured), “‘and so much more 
brilliant in colour that Mr. Harrison and Mr. Shepherd were disposed to 
consider it a distinct species.” The opinion was doubtless correct, for the 
note evidently refers to Z. intermedium. 
Brassavola tuberculata (Bot. M ag., t. 2878) is another novelty from the 
collection just mentioned, which flowered in July 1828. It was collected on 
tree-trunks, in rocky places at the entrance to Botafogo Bay, by H. Harrison, 
Esq., and the drawing was made by Mrs. Arnold Harrison. , 
One other addition made during 1829 deserves mention, namely, 
Dendrobium chrysanthum, which was figured in the Botanical Register 
(t. 1299). Lindley remarks that it was brought to England from the 
Calcutta Botanic Garden by Dr. Wallich, in 1828, and flowered in a stove 
in the Horticultural Society’s garden in February, 1829. 
A very curious plant described and figured in 1830, was Gongora viridi- 
purpurea (Bot. Mag., t. 2978), which was ‘‘ communicated with a drawing : 
from the rich collection of Aigburgh, by the kindness of Mrs. Arnold 
Harrison. It was gathered in woods, above Botafogo Bay, Brazil, by the 
brother of that lady, Henry Harrison, Esq. It flowered in June, 1829.” 
It subsequently proved to be a species of Cirrhza, a genus then only 
imperfectly known. 
The species now known as Dendrobium Linawianum also appeared for 
the first time in the collection of William Cattley, Esq., of Barnet. It is 
a native of China and Japan, and was then thought to be identical with D. 
moniliforme, under which name it was figured in the Botanical Register 
{t. 1314). The next platealso shows D. longicornu, which was brought from 
India by Dr. Wallich, in 1828, and flowered in the garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society at Chiswick. 
The hardy Cypripediums seem to have been pretty well known, for 
when figuring C. parviflorum (Bot. Mag., t. 3024) Dr. Hooker remarked :— 
“‘T have been much gratified in the early part of the present month (May, 
1830) with the beauty and variety of the Cypripedia, and the numerous 
specimens of each kind, flowering under a common frame in the Glasgow 
Botanic Garden, at one and the same time. C. macranthon, humile, specta- 
bile, arietinum, pubescens, and parviflorum, seemed to vie with each other in 
the rich colours, or curious structure of their blossoms.”’
