John Cowan & Co., of Gateacre, in March, 1890, the habitats given being

Another part of Messrs. Cogniaux and Goossens’ Dictionnaire Icono- 
graphique des Orchidées has just reached us, and contains the following 
plates:— Aérides Vandarum, Rchb. f.; Angraecum stylosum, Rolfe ; 
Ansellia confusa, N. E. Br.; A. gigantea, Rchb. f.; Cattleya Trianz var. 
Schreedere alba; Cypripedium x Youngie, Hort.; Dendrobium 
transparens, Wall.; Epidendrum fragrans, Sw. ; Lelio-cattleya xX 
Imperatrice de Russie ; Masdevallia Schroeederiana, Hort. ; Odontoglossum 
x Adriane, L. Lind.; O. x A. var. André, and O. x A. var. Queen 
Alexandra. In the corresponding number of the Chronique Orchidéene is a 
short article by M. Otto Ballif on Cattleya chocoensis, but the name is 
changed to C. caucaensis, in accordance with a note by M. Roezl that the 
plant does not grow in Choco at all, but in the state of Cauca, and there- 
fore the name is misleading. But now that the plant has been identified 
with the older C. quadricolor, Lindl., there is no need for the change of 
name. A complete history of the plant may be found at p. 145 of our sixth 
volume, together with a figure.
