The following notes relating to Orchids appear in the report of the — 
Scientific Committee of the same meeting :— 
Mr. A. Sutton, F.L.S 
+» Showed specimens of a species of Pleione, 
P. yunnanensis (Rolfe), 
which had been sent to them by a missionary from 
China, and had been grown on by them. The greater number of species of : 
this genus are native in the mountains of India, but this came from further — 
to the north-west, and was taller than the majority of the Indian species. oF 
the motion of Dr. MASTERS, seconded by Mr. Druery, a Botanical — 
Certificate was unanimously awarded to this plant. [In some of the : 
reports the plant is called “ P, Pogonioides,” to which species it was at a 
meeting doubtfully, and from memory, referred.—Ep.” : ; 
Orchids with Spots on Leaves, &c.—K. F. Crark, Esq., of Chamonl% 
Teignmouth, sent parts of Orchids, chiefly Cattleyas, which were spotted 5 
and deformed in growth. While fungi were certainly present in some © 4 
the spots, it was thought that the primary cause of the trouble lay not S? — 
much with the fungus as with a too wet compost and lack of air to thé 
Toots, and possibly a too damp atmosphere. :
