NOVELTIES OF 1905. 
AT page 1 we briefly alluded to the novelties of 1905, and it may be 
interesting to give further details of the more striking of those which have” 
not yet been adequately dealt with in these pages. 
ARACHNANTHE ANNAMENSIS, Rolfe.—A striking species, introduced from 
Annam by Messrs. Sander & Sons, through their collector, W. Micholitz, 
and flowered at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, in June last. It is 
most allied to the old Arachnanthe moschifera, Blume, the Musk-scented 
Spider Orchid, but has much longer leaves, and a lip of quite different 
structure. The plant is about eighteen inches high, and the inflorescence 
is a foot long, and bears six flowers, which are as large as those of A. 
moschifera, and resemble some huge yellow spider, very heavily barred with 
red brown, the resemblance being increased by the falcately curved petals. 
and lateral sepals.—Gard. Chron., 1905, i., p. 391. 
BONATEA ANTENNIFERA, Rolfe.—-A native of Rhodesia, sent to Kew 
by C. F. H. Monro, Esq., of the Office of Mines, Buluwayo. It is closely 
allied to the well-known B: speciosa, Willd. (Bot. Mag., t. 2296), but is 
much taller, being three feet high, with longer leaves and a laxer 
inflorescence of equally large flowers, and the lobes of the lip and petals 
much more slender. These are about two inches long, and antenna-like, in 
allusion to which the name is given. The flowers are green and white— 
Gard. Chron., 1905, ii., Pp: 450. 
BULBOPHYLLUM CRENULATUM, ROLFE.—A Madagascar species, some- 
what resembling the Indian B. cylindraceum, Lindl., in habit, but having 
dull purple flowers, and a remarkably crenulate lip, in which respect it is 
only comparable with another Madagascar species, B. robustum, Rolfe. It 
flowered at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, in January, 1904.— 
Bot. Mag., t. 8000. 
C 
ALUM APUM, RoLFE.—An interesting little species: 
which flowered at Kew in March, 1905.. It isa native of Perak, and was 
Presented by Mr. F. W. Moore, Curator’ of the Royal Botanic Garden, 
Glasnevin.. It is allied to the Burmese C. lasiochilum, Hook.f., and has ~ 
short single-flowered scapes, and the dorsal sepal and petals purple, while 
the lateral sepals are yellow, spotted with red-brown. The lip is purple, 
and very hairy.—Bot. Mag., t. 8033.
