received an Award of Merit. The flower bears some resemblance to C. Dowi- 
ana in shape, and has some light yellow veining on the side lobes of the lip, 
but in other respects it most resembles the other parent. The sepals and 
petals are blush pink, tinged with light rose, and the front lobe of the lip 
purple-crimson, with the throat rich orange. The flower painted by Miss 
Roberts has been kindly sent by Mr. Chapman. 
NEW ORCHIDS. 
A RECENT issue of the Kew Bulletin (July-Sept., 1901) contains a twenty- 
fifth decade of New Orchids, described by Mr. Rolfe, of which the following 
is a brief summary :— 
MASDEVALLIA VENOSA (p. 146).—A Colombian species of the section 
Saccolabiatze, allied to M. pusilla, Rolfe, introduced by Messrs. F. Sander 
& Co., St. Albans, with whom it flowered in June, 1899. The perianth is 
straw-yellow, densely spotted, and more or less suffused at the base with 
dull purple. 
DENDROBIUM CAPITULIFLORUM (p. 146). —A native of New Guinea, 
introduced by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., who flowered it in March, 1899. 
It belongs to the section Pedilonum, and is allied to D. purpureum, Roxb. 
The flowers are borne in dense axillary heads and the colour is greenish 
white, with the column and disc of the lip bright green. 
DENDROBIUM PUNICEUM (p. 146).—Another species of the Pedilonum 
group, introduced by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., with whom it flowered in 
October, 1898. It came from New Guinea with D. atroviolaceum, Rolfe, 
and is allied to D. rutriferum, Rchb. f. The flowers are borne in axillary 
racemes, and, together with their pedicels, are light rose-pink, with light 
yellow tips to the sepals and petals. 
DENDROBIUM QUINARIUM (p. 147).—Introduced from New Guinea with 
D. Johnsoniz, F. Muell, by Messrs. Hugh Low& Co., and flowered in their 
nursery in July, 1898. It is allied to D. tetragonum, Lindl., and has light 
yellow flowers, with several light brown nerves in front of the lip. 
DENDROBIUM INAQUALE (p. 147).—Introduced from New Guinea by 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., who flowered it in March, 1899. It is noted as 
an anomalous species, apparently most allied to D. euphlebium, Rchb. f., 
though very different in the shape of the lip. The flowers are white, veined 
on the front of the lip with purple, and are apparently very fugacious. They 
are produced singly from cavities at alternate nodes on the two adjacent 
exterior faces of the pseudobulbs, a character found in all the ten pseudo- 
bulbs on the plant (Bot. Mag., t- 7745)- 
CIRRHOPETALUM APPENDICULATUM (p. 148).—This is the C. ornatis- 
simum figured by King and Pantling (Ann. R. Bot. Gard. Calc., viii, p> 95, 
t. 133), but not Reichenbach’s plant of that name, with which it has been
