THE ORCHID REVIEW. on 
Chelsea, in 1892. Though quite different from the preceding, it is an 
equally charming plant, and in October, 1893, Messrs. Sander received a 
First-class Certificate for it. The flowers are large and of a beautiful light 
flesh pink, while the leaves are spotted with white ona ground-colour which 
may be described as grey, suffused with pinkish brown of an almost in- 
describable shade. The eye-like spots seen in the figure are simply 
openings between the lobes, which enable the dark back-ground to show 
through. It succeeds very well under the treatment given to H. militaris. 
There is a white-flowered form called variety nivosa, for which Messrs. W. 
L. Lewis & Co., of Southgate, received an Award of Merit in July, 1894. 
The leaves are also green and unspotted, but in other respects it fully agrees 
with the type. 
RENANTHERA STORIEI. 
Tuis splendid Philippine Renanthera has just flowered in the rich collection 
of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., bearing a large panicle with four branches 
and forty flowers. It is allied to the brilliant R. coccinea, but has larger 
flowers of different shape, marbled with two shades of the richest velvet 
crimson. It was described by Reichenbach in 1880 (Gard. Chron., 1880, 
XIV., p. 296) from materials sent by Mr. J. G. Storie to Messrs. Hugh Low 
& Co., and in a subsequent note it was pointed out that Mr. H. T. Brown 
had also obtained it on a small island, when on an excursion from his 
residence at Tayabas, in the Philippines (Gard. Chron., 1881, XVI., p. 
364.) Some time ago it flowered with Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, and 
was figured in the Orchid Album (XI., t. 513), which, however, shows the 
ground-colour much more yellow than in the one exhibited by Sir Trevor 
Lawrence at the last meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society. It is a 
very handsome species, but unfortunately, like R. coccinea, does not seem 
inclined to flower until the plant gets a good size. 
NOVELTIES. 
Ca@LocyNE LAUTERBACHIANA, Kranzl.—A species from 
which flowered in the Berlin Botanic Garden in April last. 
C. carnea, Hook. f., and has small salmon-coloured flowers.— 
K. Bot. Gart. Berlin, 1896, p- 113- : 
SosrALIA BrANDTI&, Kranzl.—A species allied to S. macrantha, which 
flowered in the collection of Mrs. Brandt, of Zurich. It was introduced 
by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., but the habitat is not recorded. The 
flowers are smaller than in S. macrantha, and rose-purple, with the disc 
of the lip orange-coloured, and bearing five slightly elevated lines,—
