212 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
OncipiuM GopsEFFIANUM, Kranzl.—A species much like O. pubes, 
Lindl., in general character, but differing in having smaller flowers with 
the lateral sepals free, and thus should be compared with O. fimbriatum, 
Lindl., which the author does not mention. It flowered with Messrs. 
Sander in May last.—Gard. Chron., June 20, p. 754. 
CC@ZLOGYNE UNIFLORA. 
WITH respect to the abolition of the genus Panisea, proposed by Dr. 
Kranzlin (Gard. Chron., April 25, p. 516), after an examination of P. unifiom, 
Lindl., it should be pointed out the plant is not a Panisea at all, but a true 
Ccelogyne, as was long ago pointed out by Bentham. The true Paniseas, 
which Dr. Kranzlin admits not having examined, are at all events sufficiently 
different from Coelogyne uniflora, which I have seen flowering every season 
for many years. The assertion that “ Lindley unfortunately relinquished 
his sagacious method of showing Orchids” is easily disproved by an & 
amination of his Folia Orchidacea, which certainly does contain the result of 
ripened and elaborate studies. One has only to compare his revision of the 
genera Oncidium and Epidendrum with his earlier sketches in the Botanic 
Register to see that, to say nothing of the difficult genera Pleurothallis and 
Stelis. The fact is, his work was progressive in the best sense of the word, 
right up to the last. It is unfort that Reichenbach never learnt his 
sagacious methods.

The season so far has been a particularly hot, dry, and fast one: tt 
therefore, Orchid growers find themselves behind hand with their potting

although it may be known only to those directly concerned, causes
