APRIL, 1913-] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 121 
KEW NOTES. 
SOME very interesting Orchids are flowering at Kew, but the houses are 
temporarily closed to the public on account of the recent suffragette 
outrages. The plant of Eulophiella Elisabethe is in robust condition and 
bearing five spikes. It requires warm house treatment, and an abundance 
of moisture during the growing season. Eria hyacinthoides is a Javan 
species, and very effective when well grown. It now bears thirty-four 
spikes of pure white flowers. Megaclinium Bufo is a curious plant which 
was described by Lindley over seventy years ago, and soon lost sight of, but 
was recently re-introduced by Mr. J. Anderson from the Gold Coast, with 
M. eburneum in the same clump.  Cirrhopetalum campanulatum is a 
charming little plant in a five-inch pan, and bearing tive of its elegant umbels

of purple-rose flowers. It has more than doubled in size since the annexed 
photograph (fig. 27) was taken three years ago, and has frequently flowered 
since. The remarkable viscous secretion which exudes from the flowers 
may be seen in the figure, in hanging drops at the end of the sepals. 
Physosiphon Lindleyi, grown in a six-inch pan, is bearing twenty- 
eight spikes of orange-red flowers, which remain long in_ perfection. 
Odontioda heatonensis is a gem, bearing seven beautiful spikes. Sarcochilus 
Fitzgeraldii and S. Hartmannii are also flowering well, together with the 
handsome Aérides Houlletianum, Dendrobium teretifolium, and a lot of 
Other showy Dendrobiums, species and hybrids.
