now be summarised :— 
BULBOPHYLLUM NIGRESCENS, Rolfe.—A Siamese species, collected near 
Chengmai, by Dr. Alexander Kerr, which flowered in the Trinity College 
Botanic Gardens, Dublin, in May, 1909. It is allied to B. secundum, 
Hook, f., but has flowers twice as large, the sepals lined and dotted with 
blackish purple on a yellowish green ground, and the petals and lip 
blackish purple, the latter with a green area at the base.—Kew Bulletin, 
IgIo, p. 158. 
MEGACLINIUM LUTESCENS, Rolfe.—Sent from the Gold Coast by Mr. 
Band, and flowered at Kew in November, 1909. It is allied to M. 
minutum, Rolfe, and has honey yellow flowers.—Kew Bull. 1910, p. 158. 
Puaius Cooperi, Rolfe.—A striking species, allied to P. callosus, 
Blume. It flowered in the collection of Mr. A. J. Hollington, Forty Hill, 
Enfield, and was purchased by Messrs. Sander & Sons, who exhibited it at 
a meeting of the R.H.S. in January, 1910, when it received a Botanical 
Certificate. Its habitat is supposed to be Malayan. The sepals and petals 
are bright red-brown in front, and pale yellow behind, and the lip is white 
at first, soon changing to light yellow, with a few red-brown blotches in the 
throat. It is dedicated to Mr. E. Cooper, one of Messrs. Sander’s foremen.
