THE ORCHID REVIEW. 231 
Dendrobium formosum, Ccelogyne Wallichiana, now known as Pleione, and. 
two or three. others. 
Several interesting species were also figured in the same volume, Cattleya 
Perrinii (t. 2), now known as Laelia, flowered with Mr. Knight, of Chelsea, 
but Lindley remarked that he been acquainted with it for some years, it 
having been sent from the collection of Richard Harrison, Esq., and after- 
wards from Mr. Bateman. It was dedicated to Mr. Perrin, “‘ Mr. Harrison’s 
intelligent gardener, under whose care so many fine South American 
epiphytes have been for the first time brought into flower in this country.” 
This year also witnessed the first introduction of a Phalzenopsis, and the 
commencement of an error the effect of which is felt to some extent at the 
present day. A Phalaenopsis was sent from the Philippines by Cuming, 
and flowered for the first time with Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting. In the 
belief that it was the Malayan species already known from dried specimens, 
Lindley figured it as P. amabilis (t. 34), and afterwards, when the true 
Malayan plant came home, he failed to detect his own error, and re-named. 
the old plant P. grandiflora. The Philippine plant is now properly known 
as P. Aphrodite. Other interesting plants which we may mention are 
Comparettia’ coccinea (t. 68), which flowered with Messrs. Loddiges ; Stenia 
pallida (t. 20), which flowered with Mr. Barker, of Birmingham ; and 
Stanhopea quadricornis (t. 5), from the collection of S. Rucker, Esq., of 
Wandsworth. 
_ The corresponding volume of the Botanical Magazine (its title page is 
dated February 1st, 1839) contains a few novelties, and among them the 
splendid Cattleya Mossiz (t. 3669), of which it is remarked :—‘‘ We wish 
our plate could do justice to this most magnificent of all Orchideous plants, 
_. . Jam indebted to the kindness of Mrs. Moss, of Otterspool, near 
Liverpool, for the noble specimen here figured, which was accompanied 
with a folio sketch of the entire plant from her pencil: and I know of no 
name more appropriate for it, as suggested by my friend, Mr. Parker, than 
that of the lady in whose stove it has, by the care of her skilful gardener, 
been brought to such high perfection. . - - The present plant was intro- 
duced through the medium of George Green, Esq. of Liverpool, in Septem- 
ber, 1836, from La Guayra.” Oncidium Forbesii (t. 3705) flowered in the 
collection of His Grace the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, the author 
remarking :—‘‘ I have named it in compliment to the very able Horticultur- 
ist who has charge of that noble collection, and by whose judicious care so 
many rarieties - - - - have been brought to a high state of perfection. 
The plant was sent from the Organ Mountains, by Gardner, in 1837.” 
Sophronitis grandiflora was figured at t. 3709, from which collection it does 
not appear, but it is stated that “ the credit of introducing the plant alive 
to this country is due to Mr. Gardner, who found it inthe Organ Mountains
