79° THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MaARCH, 1910. 
MORMODES REVCLUTUM, Rolfe.—A.Peruvian species introduced from 
Moyobamba by Messrs. Sander and Sons, who flowered it in July, 1909. It 
is allied to M. speciosum, Linden, and has deep buff yellow flowers, with a 
reddish browr. lip.—Kew Bull., 1909, p. 367. 
ONCIDIUM ANFRACTUM, Rolfe.—A Venezuelan species, which flowered 
with Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., in July, 1908. A dried specimen had long 
been confused with O. Reichenbachii, Lindl. It has a long flexuose 
inflorescence, and bright yellow flowers with some brown markings.—Kew 
Bull., 1909, p. 367. 
SACCOLABIUM PLATYCALCARATUM, Rolfe.—A species of the Calceolaria 
group, from Upper Burma, introduced by Messrs. Sander & Sons, who - 
flowered it in February, 19¢9.. The sepals and petals are yellow, spotted 
with brown, and the lip whitish with a green centre to the front lobe, and a 
flattened spur.—Kew Bull., 1909, p. 368. 
ACRIOPSIS LATIFOLIA, Rolfe.—A very distinct species, introduced from 
the Straits Settlements, and flowered at Kew in April, 1909. The leaves are 
several times broader than the species previously known, and the flowers 
whitish yellow with some red-purple stripes and spots.—Kew Buill., 1909, 
p- 368. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X BEECKMANII is a plant of doubtful parentage, and a 
flower from the collection of H. S. Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, 
affords an opportunity of re-comparing its characters. It was originally 
exhibited by Messrs. Linden at a meeting of the R.H.S. held in November, 
1897, as a hybrid from C. Boxallii xX bellatulum, but the use of the latter 
as one of the parents is said to have been doubted by most of the members 
of the Orchid Committee. It was figured in Lindenia (xiii. t. 600), and 
from the text it appears that C. x Sallieri had been suggested as a much 
more likely second parent. Later on C. X auriferum, said to have been 
derived from the same parentage, was also figured (J.c., xvii. t. 771), and in 
this the yellow colour is much more suggestive of C. x Sallieri Hyeanum or 
of a yellow form of C. villosum. In neither case is there the slightest 
trace of C. bellatulum, which may be definitely dismissed. C. x Sallieri is 
a form of C. nitens, and its hybrid with C. Boxallii is known under the name 
of C. x Parkerianum. This seems a more likely parentage than Boxallii 
X insigne, known as C. xX Schlesingerianum, a plant which has some 
sixteen synonyms. Whether the different plants grown as Beeckmanii are 
all divisions of the original we cannot say, but the figure cited is only 
remotely like the flower sent. It would be interesting to compare it with 
batches of later seedlings obtained by crossing P. insigne and P. Boxallii 
with P. X nitens or any of its varieties.
