230 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
The Floral Cabinet of Messrs. Knowles and Westcott also commenced 
in 1837, and the frontispiece to the first volume contains coloured figures of 
Cattleya labiata, Cycnoches Loddigesii and Miltonia spectabilis, the latter 
plant being figured and described at page 93 as Macrochilus Fryanus, froma 
plant received from Brazil by the Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural 
Society in the autumn of 1835. 
The Botanical. Register for 1838 appeared in a somewhat enlarged form, 
‘with the addition of several pages of Miscellaneous Notices at the end of 
each number, these being paged consecutively and placed at the end of the 
volume in binding it. About 125 of the notices in this volume relate to 
Orchids, a considerable proportion being descriptions of new species, and 
of these we may mention a few of the more remarkable. Epidendrum. 
rhizophorum, Bateman (p. 8), sent from Guatemala by Mr. Skinner, after- 
wards proved to be identical with E. radicans, then only known from dried 
specimens ; E. aurantiacum, Batem., from the same country, is now known 
as Cattleya aurantiaca ; and E. tibicinis, Batem., collected in Honduras by 
Mr. Skinner, is the well-known Schomburgkia tibicinis. Huntleya. 
Meleagris (p. 19), previously only known from a drawing, flowered with 
Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting. Miltonia candida (p. 22) flowered with 
Messrs. Loddiges. Calanthe furcata was introduced from the Philippines 
by Cuming, and flowered with Mr. Bateman. It is interesting as one- 
of the parents of C. X Dominii, the first artificial hybrid raised, but has 
long been lost to cultivation. Vanilla bicolor was imported from Guiana, 
and flowered freely with Messrs. Loddiges, but still little further is 
known about it. Masdevallia infracta (p. 40), previously known from dried. 
specimens, was introduced from Brazil, and flowered with Messrs. Loddiges, 
being probably the first Masdevallia in cultivation. Grammatophyllum 
multiflorum (p. 46), was sent from the Philippines by Cuming and flowered 
with Mr. Bateman. Epidendrum imosmum (p. 49) flowered with Messrs. 
Loddiges, and Lindley remarked :—‘‘ The western world wants no violets. 
where this charming plant is found, for it fills the air with a fragrance as 
delicate and delicious as that of our favourite wild flower.” Odontoglossum 
cordatum (p. 50), flowered for the first time with Mr. George Barker, who 
imported it from Mexico. Paxtonia rosea (p. 61, t. 60), was sent from the 
Philippines by Cuming, and flowered at Chatsworth, being dedicated to 
Mr. Paxton, “‘ whose claim” it was remarked “to be permanently associated 
with Orchidacez will be readily admitted by all who know anything of the 
admirable collection of such plants at Chatsworth.” Alas for the sentiment, 
the plant afterwards proved to be a peloriate state of Spathoglottis plicata. 
Satyrium candidum is a fragrant, white-flowered species which flowered with 
Sir John Herschel, who brought it from the Cape. Lastly, as the fruit of 
Mr. Gibson’s industry in the Khasia Hills, must be added the beautiful
