Kranzlin, under the name of A hilus Sanderi but belongs to 
another genus. It is allied to M. argyroneura, Rolfe (Hamaria argyroneura, 
Miq.), but is very different in the foliage.—Kew Bulletin, 1896, p. 47- 
HoLorurix Jounstont, Rolfe—An East Tropical African species, 
collected at the Upper Mlanje Plateau, near Zomba, by Sir H. H. Johnston. 
It is allied to the South African H. condensata, Sond., but has larger 
flowers anda five-lobed lip.—Kew Bulletin, 1896, p. 47. 
BULBOPHYLLUM ORTHOGLOssUM, Kranzl.—A species of the Sarcopodium 
group, allied to B. mandibulare, Rchb. f., which flowered in the collection 
of M. Wendland, at Herrenhausen, Hanover. The flowers are large and 
yellowish-green, with numerous brown stripes on the sepals and petals. It 
is a native of the island of Sarangui, and was discovered by M. Micholitz, 
one of Messrs. Sander’s collectors.—Gard. Chron., March 14, p. 326. 
GALEANDRA DEVONIANA. 
A pLant of this species, in the collection of H. J. Elwes, Esq., Colesbourne, 
Gloucestershire, has produced a splendid raceme of ten flowers, which 
indicates excellent culture on the part of Mr. Lane, who has charge of it. 
Many people find it difficult to grow well—probably through not giving it 
proper treatment—but it is a striking plant when it does succeed, and 
Schomburgk speaks of the stems as sometimes from five to six feet high. 
Some notes on its culture were given at pages 281 and 284 of our last volume, 
and Mr. Lane has obligingly sent the following note on his treatment :— 
The plant was purchased in flower of Mr. James Cypher, of Cheltenham: 
in the spring of 1894. It was rested during the summer in the Cattleya 
house, and when starting into growth in the autumn was potted in a 
mixture of peat, sphagnum, and charcoal, and placed in the East Indian 
house in a rather shady position, where it grew strongly and gave us a 
Taceme of eleven flowers in the spring of 1895. The same treatment was 
given the following season, but the plant is not quite so strong zs spring, 
for, as you will see, it has ten flowers only. I think my treatment differs age 
that generally recommended in this, that I do not give a large amount ‘et 
water during the growing season, as I find the plant makes a small ere 
of roots in proportion to the top growth, also as the plant makes its oe 
during the dullest months of the year it is never or rarely syringed over- 
head, as I think is usually recommended to be done rather heavily. atl 
enough water during the resting season to keep the growths seid “i ee 
leaves green. As the leaves are developed on the young growths : id 
Sradually fall away from the preceding ones. T find the plant yee 
Propagated in the same way as Thunias, by cutting old stems up 
‘Pieces and laying them on growing sphagnum.
