THE ORCHID REVIEW. 265 
NOVELTIES. | 
MASDEVALLIA BURBIDGEANA, Rolfe.—This is a pretty little species of the 
section Saccolabiate, which almost combines the shape of M. erythrochete 
with the colours of M. Chestertoni, though, of course, it is quite distinct 
from both. The perianth is greenish yellow, irregularly spotted and 
marbled with deep brownish maroon, with many yellowish white hairs. 
The lip is light buff, inclining to yellow inside, but oblong and saccate, not 
expanded as in M. Chestertoni, whose colour it has. The plant has flowered 
in the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens on two recent occasions, under the care of 
Mr. F. W. Moore, A.L.S., having been obtained from Messrs. F. Sander 
and Co., of St. Albans. It is probably a native of New Granada. It is 
dedicated to Mr. F. W. Burbidge, M.A., Curator of the Trinity College 
Garden, Dublin :— 
Leaf oblong, acute, attenuate below, 5 in. long, { in. wide. Perianth tube open, 4 lin. 
long; dorsal sepal ovate-triangular, 9 lin. long, 6 lin. broad ; lateral ones a little larger and 
united for about 5 lines beyond the tube ; tails 14 in. long. Petals 1} lin. long, white, with a 
longish maroon blotch on the unguis, stained with yellow at the tip. Lip oblong, saccate, 
5 lin. long, with three central parallel keels, and numerous lateral ones radiating to the 
margin. 
Lzuia Lucastana, Rolfe—This distinct and pretty little Lelia has 
flowered in two collections. First in that of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., 
Burford, Dorking, in 1892, and recently with C. J. Lucas, Esq., Warnham 
Court, Horsham. As regards the latter, Mr. Duncan, the gardener, states 
that a plant was purchased last year at Stevens’ Rooms, and was supposed 
to be new. It is added to L. crispilabia, A. Rich. (sometimes called 
L. Lawrenceana in gardens), but is easily distinguished by its yellow lip, 
which contrasts well with the mauve-purple sepals and petals. At present 
it is rather imperfectly known :— 
; linear-oblong, subobtuse, 12-14 lines 
ide lobes convolute, broadly oblong, 
ate-elliptical, obtuse, very 
the lower part of the disc 
Scape few-flowered. Sepals and petals ‘spreading, 
long, 3 lines broad, light-mauve purple. Lip 3-lobed; s 
subobtuse, 7 lines long, 3 lines broad ; front lobe reflexed, obov: 
undulate, 4 lines broad, deep yellow, with the front half primrose, 
and side lobes deeply stained with maroon. Column 3 lines long, light green, its face 
Stained with dull purple-brown. 
MAXILLARIA STRIATA, Rolfe.—The genus Maxillaria is a very extensive 
one, though the majority of the species find but little favour in gardens. 
There are, however, a few exceptions, principally among the large-flowered 
species, and as these have the merit of being easily grown and very 
floriferous, it is a wonder that they are not more generally cultivated. The 
Present species is one of these large-flowered kinds, which, judging by dried 
specimens and a coloured. drawing, should find favour among amateurs who
