CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
F. J. Le MoyYNE.—Sobralia not recognised from description. A better way is to take 
the flower while fresh, carefully remove the lip and one sepal and petal, then press - 
whole flower for a few days in blotting paper. The shape and colours are beautifully 
preserved by this process, and the species can easily be recognised. 
C. STOLDT.—Lallia xanthina. 
W. H. A, Blackburn.—A good form of Cattleya Leopoldi.
