he first detected it near the village of Jaji, in the province of Merida, in 
1842, but it was afterwards gathered by Schlim near Ocana, and by Purdie 
at Santa Martha. It is said to extend along both sides of the eastern 
Cordillera from Santa Martha to Bogota, being abundant in some localities. 
It is interesting to note that A. Ruckeri and A. virginalis also appeared in 
M. Linden’s original importation, the latter being the plant so long 
cultivated under the name of A. uniflora, but not the original A. uniflora, 
Ruiz and Pavon, with which A. eburnea, Williams, is now known to be 
identical. A. Clowesii var. eburnea, Veitch (Man. Orch. Fi. ik, p- 100) is 
also the same species. The plant of A. Clowesii here figured was grown at 
Kew, and the photograph reproduced was taken by Mr. C. P. Raffill. 
Some fine specimens of Anguloa Clowesii have occasionally been seen. 
A noble specimen from the collection of Major Joicey, Sunningdale Park, 
was recorded at page 232 of our tenth volume. It was grown in a 14-inch 
pot, and bore thirty-three flowers. It had been grown on by Mr. Thorne 
from a plant which eight years before received a First-class Certificate from 
the R.H.S., when in a 6-inch pot. The appearance of this plant recalled 
a still finer specimen from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., to which 
a Veitch Memorial Medal was awarded at Manchester in 1878. This is 
said to have been fully three feet across, and to have borne nearly fifty of 
its rich golden cups, a truly noble specimen and an example of good culture 
which has seldom been surpassed, for it had been grown on from one or 
two bulbs. 
ANGULOA VIRGINALIS, 
THis is the plant which has been cultivated for so long a period under the 
name of Anguloa uniflora, but which it was some time ago pointed out 
was not the original A. uniflora of Ruiz & Pavon (O.R., xvii. pp. 316, 317). 
The species was introduced by M. J. Linden, and flowered in the collection 
of Mr. G. Barker, Springfield, Birmingham, in April, 1844, when Lindley 
unfortunately identified and figured it under the name of A. uniflora (Bot. 
Reg., Xxx. t. 60). The name A. virginalis appeared in 1851 (Gard. Chron., 
1851, p- 392), with the record that plants were sold at Stevens’ Rooms at £2 
to £3 5s.each. The plants may have been distributed by M. J. Linden, for 
the name appears on the tickets of his collector Schlim, who obtained 
plants at about 5000 feet altitude near Ocana, and the dried specimens 
agree completely with those previously collected by Linden. Soon 
afterwards plants of the same species collected by Warscewicz, near 
Quindios, were offered for sale, and one of these—a rosy spotted form— 
was figured in the Botanical Magazine (t. 4807) as A. uniflora. This latter 
agrees with A. Turneri, Williams (Orch. Grow. Man.., ed. 6, p. 133), but is 
only a form of A. virginalis, Linden, which is described on the same page.
