DENDROBIUM NOBILE VIRGINALE.—It is interesting to record that the — 
beautiful Dendrobium nobile virginale has again been raised true from seed. 
Messrs. Armstrong and Brown, Orchidhurst, Tunbridge Wells, exhibited @ } 
well-flowered example at the R.H.S. meeting held on March 5th, and in 
sending four of the flowers remark that it is from a batch obtained by self — 
fertilising this variety, and that the seedlings have come perfectly true — 
from seed. This was precisely the case with the batch raised in the 
collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham, as already recorded (O.R. — 
xii. p. 1033. xiii. p. 133), and there are several other albinos which have ~ 
come perfectly true from seed. 
This beautiful albino is sometimes known as D. nobile album, but it 8 — 
not the original plant of that name, which appeared and was recorded as 
long ago as 1889 (see Will. Orch. Gr. Man. ed. 7, p- 352), and had pure — 
white sepals and petals, but the usual maroon-purple disc to the lip. D.. 
nobile virginale appeared for the first time in 1897, and was described and 
_ figured at page 145 of our fifth volume. The name D.n. album should not 
be used for this form.
