MaRcH, 1913.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 103 
quite different in colour, the sepals and petals being of a nearly uniform 
mahogany-brown, and there are also some differences in the details of the 
lip. It would, therefore, appear to be sufficiently distinct to warrant a new 
name, and the Award of Merit recommended, subject to the name being 
found correct, therefore stands. 
EPIDENDRUM CILIARE X L#LIA CINNABARINA.— Mr. J. O’Brien showed 
flowers of a hybrid between these two plants, pointing out that, though not 
very conspicuous, the markings on the lip followed the remarkable fringing 
of the Epidendrum parent, and the form of the lip was markedly elongated. 
MILTONIA VEXILLARIA X ODONTOGLOSSUM' CRISPUM.—At the 
corresponding meeting last year M. Firmin Lambeau showed a seedling 
of this cross, and the Committee requested that further plants of the same 
raising should. be shown when the opportunity occurred. M. Lambeau now 
sent two more plants bearing flowers very similar in appearance, and 
leaving no doubt that the parentage stated originally was correct. 
January 21st.: DENDROBIUM FUSCESCENS.—Mr. O’Brien showed a 
specimen of this curious species with brown flowers from the Himalayan 
region. It is figured in Griffith’s Ic. Pl. Asiat., t. 309, and belongs to the 
section included by Lindley in his genus Sarcopodium (Fol. Orch.), along 
with D. Coelogyne, D. amplum, and D. rotundatum. Lindley considered 
the genus Sarcopodium intermediate between Dendrobium and Bulbo- 
phyllum, but later botanists have divided it, putting some of the species in 
Bulbophyllum and some in Dendrobium. It may be noted that the 
technical descriptions published of the species describe two orange spots on 
the column, but there are really three colours, one of them being quite 
low down. 
GHENT QUINQUENNIAL EXHIBITION.—The following British Orchidists 
have been selected to act as members of the Jury at the coming Quin- 
quennial Exhibition to be held at Ghent from April 26th to May 4th: Sir 
Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Sir Harry J. Veitch, Sir Frederick W. Moore, 
and Messrs. H. G. Alexander, de Barri Crawshay, C. H. Curtis, Stuart H. 
Low, James O’Brien, H. T. Pitt, R. A. Rolfe, F. Sander, and Gurney 
Wilson. 
ORCHIS LONGIBRACTEATA.—In a note on ‘“‘ The Riviera Flower Season,” 
Mr. H. Stuart Thompson remarks (Gard. Chron., 1913, i. p. 99) that in the 
Hyeres district Orchis longibracteata was out in sheltered spots by the 
marshes on January 21st. This handsome Orchid is very abundant in 
certain places, and attains two feet in height later in the spring. 
Mr. G. I’Anson.—Mr. G. I’Anson, who has been with Messrs. Charles- 
worth & Co. for a number of years, has been presented with an oak cabinet
