320 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OcToBER, 1912. 
Mr. Neale, Penarth, a plant of Epidendrum laterale (Central America), 
and remarked that the inflorescence is produced on a_ rudimentary 
pseudobulb, as in E. Stamfordianum (probably the only similar case), a 
peculiarity that seems to show that the normal mode of flowering is from 
the base of the mature pseudobulb. A Botanical Certificate was awarded to 
this plant on the proposition of Mr. O’Brien. 
September 24th: CIRRHOPETALUM MINIATUM.—Mr. Rolfe drew attention 
to a Cirrhopetalum exhibited by Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, as 
having been introduced from Annam with Dendrobium Bronckartii. It 
strongly recalled C. gracillimum, Rolfe, especially in its caudate, almost 
thread-like lateral sepals, and in the strongly ciliate dorsal sepal and 
petals, but differed in having vermilion-coloured flowers with the hairs of 
the dorsal sepal and petals yellow. His first knowledge of the plant was 
in September, 1910, when it was sent to Kew for determination from the 
Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, with the information that it had been 
purchased from Messrs. Sander & Sons as a plant imported with 
Dendrobium Bronckartii. It was then named and described as Cirrho- 
petalum miniatum, Rolfe. Afterwards a painting was received from M. 
Maurice Valcke, a collector for Messrs. T. Pauwels & Co., Meirelbeke, 
Belgium, who stated that he met with the plant at Haut Laos, between 
Siam and Cochin China.
