is not recorded.—p. 377. 
RENANTHERA ANNAMENSIS, Rolfe.—Introduced from Annam by Messrs, 
Sander & Sons through their collector, W. Micholitz, and flowered at Kew 
in May last. It is much like R. Imschootiana, Rolfe, in habit, but the rf 
flowers are only about half as large and very numerous. They are yellow, : | 
much spotted with crimson on the sepals, spur and base of the petals, while _ 
the lobes of the lip and apex of the petals are deep crimson.—p. 377. 
LisTRosTACHYs Browntl, Rolfe.—A very distinct species collected at 
Entebbe, Uganda, by Mr. E. Brown, who remarks that it grows in masses, —

and when in flower is a very showy plant. The habit is compact, and the — 
flowers white and fragrant, and arranged in dense racemes. It is not yet in ~ 
cultivation.—p.378. 
PLATYLEPIS AUSTRALIS, Rolfe.—A Natal species allied to the West 
Tropical African P. glandulosa, Lindl., with which it has hitherto been — 
united. It has recently flowered at Kew.—p. 378. 
PLATYLEPIS DENSIFLORA, Rolfe.—A Madagascar species allied to the a 
preceding, which was introduced by M. Warpur, and flowered at Kew in 4 
December, 1g01. Flowers light green with a whitish lip.—p. 378.

CYPRIPEDIUM x MILO WITH FREE LATERAL SEPALS. 
I THINK the enclesed photos of a Cypripedium x Milo which I flowered 
recently may be of interest. There are two complete lateral sepals, giving — 
the flower a much improved appearance, as the sepals give a complete — 
background to the dark coloured petals. I believe it is a most unusual — 
occurrence. ALFRED G. GROVES.

The occurrence is rare, though we have seen it in two or three species and 
hybrids, and in each case the divided sepals diverge at an angle of about

The hybrid was raised by Messrs. Veitch, flowering 12 —
