284 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (SEPTEMBER, 190). 
Leopoldi, several Lelia Dayana, the brilliant little L. monophylla, Lelio. 
cattleya elegans with three racemes, L.-c. Adolphus, L.-c. Mandarin, and 
several other hybrids, with Epidendrums, Sobralias and others. 
In the Cool house Stenoglottis longifolia and its variety alba are 
flowering freely, and the spikes remind one of some Orchis. The singular 
little Binotia brasiliensis (formerly referred to Cochlioda) is bearing two 
racemes of its greenish-white flowers. There are also examples of 
Calanthe japonica. C. xX Dominii, Masdevallia Chestertoni and many 
others, while good examples of Odontoglossum aspidorrhinum and O. 
purum are among the rare species of that genus now in flower. 
In the next house a plant of Vanda Sanderiana is throwing up six 
flower spikes, while Phalznopsis rosea, Aerides Lawrence var. San- 
derianum, Warscewiczella velata and W. cochlearis are very attractive. A 
flower of Paphiopedilum Fairrieanum is already out, and several plants are 
showing well for flower. The species continues to grow freely, enabling 
one to understand the earlier records, which a few years ago were 
regarded almost with incredulity. A good many others are in flower, of 
which P. X Maynardii with seven blooms and the handsome O. glauco- 
phyllum may be mentioned. 
PHAIUS AMBOINENSIS. 
AT at the R.H.S. meeting, held on July 23rd last, a Phaius was exhibited 
by Messrs. Sander and Sons, St. Albans, under the name of Phaius 
maculatus albus, which was said to have been received from Java under 
that name. It was comparable with P. flavus, Blume, in habit, and in the 
general shape of the flowers, but the colour was white with some veining on 
the lip. It appears to be identical with P. Zollingeri, Rchb. f., a species 
described and figured in 1856 (Xen. Orch. i. p. 201, t. 76, fig. 2), from 
specimens collected by Zollinger, among bamboos, at Idjeng, Java. It 1s 
described as being much like P. maculatus, Lindl., but the flowers white, 
with some yellow on the lip. The figure is very rude, but there is a type 
specimen in Lindley’s Herbarium, with a single expanded flower, rather 
smaller than those shown by Messrs. Sander, but apparently representing 
the same species. J. J. Smith (Orch. Jav. p. 198) regards P. Zollingeri as 
synonymous with P. amboinensis, Blume, a species described in 1852 
(Mus. Bot. ii. p. 180). This was based primarily upon Bletia amboinensis, 
Herb. Zipp., and secondarily upon Angrecum terrestre alteram, Rumph, 
Herb. Amb. vi. p. 113, t. 50, fig. 3, which appeared as long ago as 1750. The 
two appear to be distinct, and indeed Blume originally pointed out differences 
between them, so that we must limit the species to the plant of Zippelius, 
which is said to have a sulphur-coloured lip, with the other parts white. 
Smith at first followed Blume in including this old figure, but afterward,
