THE ORCHID REVIEW. 207 
petals are rather narrow, which perhaps accounts for its being somewhat 
rare in collections. 
A spike of Cattleya Warscewiczii, bearing six splendid flowers, is sent 
from the collection of Dr. Cranstoun, Broad Street, Ludlow, by Mr. Godfrey, 
who remarks that there is a second spike of four flowers on the plant. A 
ten-flowered spike of Epidendrum vitellinum is also sent, evidently from a 
well-grown plant, as the flowers are splendidly developed. When thus 
grown it is one of the most effective species in the genus. 
ANGULOA x DUBIA 
For many years I have been looking out for the plant described by Reichen- 
bach, in 1882, as Anguloa dubia, “‘ 1. sp., s. hyd. (?)” and at last it has re- 
appeared. It was originally described as follows :—‘‘ This is a very curious 
plant. At first sight the flower reminds one of a lemon-coloured Anguloa 
uniflora covered on the inside ot the sepals and petals with numerous 
minute purple spots. The shape of the flower is like that peculiar one of 
the species mentioned. The lip is very distinct. It is much compressed, 
with angular lateral lobes, and avery small, triangular, reflexed anterior 
lobe with very few short hairs. There is no vestige of that intrusion on 
the inferior base that is so conspicuous in Anguloa uniflora. It is white 
with purple blotches inside at the base of each side. The lacinize and 
bidentate callus is ascending and naked, much like a sack. The rostellum 
of the flower is very short. It is not proboscoid, as in A. uniflora, and there 
is no running descending line on each side of it, as A. Clowesii and A. 
Ruckeri. Its odour is very powerful. The plant may be a natural hybrid 
between A. uniflora and A. Clowesii. It is highly desirable that it should 
be well watched in future, to ascertain ifit is constant, or whether it changes 
its features. It would, however, appear to be highly improbable that 
several deviations had taken place at one time. It was imported with other 
Orchids from the United States of Colombia, and is said to be like A. 
Clowesii in growth. Mr. B. S. Williams is the possessor of this great 
curiosity. If the A. media of Mr. Bowring were placed by its side it would 
make a fine assemblage.’”—Gard. Chron., 1882, xvii., p. 764. 
Shortly afterwards the author added :—‘ Mr. B. S. Williams has 
kindly forwarded me a second flower, which is identical with the first 
one in all minute details; hence, the fear of its being an abnormal state 
is much lessened. This isa case of interest for science, as it has been 
shown often by Messrs. Veitch.’”’—l.c., Xvili., p. 102. 
What became of the original plant I have no idea, but one which has 
now flowered with Mr. James O’Brien, Harrow-on-the-Hill, agrees in all
