264 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AuGUST, 1913. 
Kew Bulletin remarks: ‘‘ The Kew collection of Orchids has recently been 
greatly enriched by the gift of about 150 large plants of Cattleya, Lelia, 
Leliocattleya, Brassocattleya, Cymbidium, and Cypripedium by Lt.-Col. 
Sir George Holford, from his famous collection at Westonbirt. While the 
collection of Orchids cultivated at Kew must be essentially botanical, its 
main object being to represent the family in as comprehensive a way as: 
possible, the great progress made in recent years in the breeding of hybrids, 
many of which are botanically interesting as well as possessed of 
exceptional claims as garden plants, necessitated the addition of a selection 
of them to the collection. Increased accommodation was provided last 
year by the erection of an Intermediate house adjoining the T-Range, and, 
thanks to Sir George’s generosity, Kew now possesses some of the best of 
the Cattleyoid hybrids.” 
CLEISOSTOMA SECUNDUM.—This pretty little Burmese species, which 
was described six years ago (Rolfe in Kew Bull., 1907, p. 132), has agaim 
flowered at Glasnevin. It was introduced by Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., 
who first flowered it, and from whom the Glasnevin plant was obtained. The 
flowers are borne in one-sided racemes, some four to six inches long, and are 
light purple with a darker front lobe to the lip. It much resembles a 
Saccolabium, but has a characteristic 2-lobed callus on the foot of the 
column, closing the orifice of the lip. The leaves are narrow, fleshy, and 
four to six inches long.—R.A.R.
