160 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1912. 
ACRIOPSIS RIDLEYI. 
THIS species has hitherto only been known from a single specimen, which 
was found on a pepper post at Bukit Mandai, in the Island of Singapore, 
and Mr. N. N. Ridley, the discoverer, remarked: ‘‘ It had, I think, been 
planted there, having been found in the jungle close by when the forest was 
felled to make the pepper gardens.”’ It was described by Sir Joseph Hooker 
(Fl. Brit. Ind., vi. p. 79) from a drawing sent by Mr. Ridley. It is 
interesting to record that a plant has now appeared in the collection of Sir 
Trevor Lawrence, Bart., at Burford, it having been received from Dr. 
Schlechter as A. javanicum. There were two plants, and when they 
flowered one of them proved different, hence materials were sent to Kew for 
determination, when one was found to agree with the drawing of A. Ridleyi. 
It is not known when the plants were collected.
