NOVELTIES. 
PLEUROTHALLIS INFLATA, Rolfe.—A Columbian species introduced by 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, with whom it flowered in 
September, 1891, and subsequently at Glasnevin, and elsewhere. It is 
allied to P. Lindeni, Lindl. and P. ruberrima, Lindl., and bears semi- 
translucent whitish flowers with some purple spots and streaks on the 
sepals and petals. The united lateral sepals are ventricose or inflated, in 
allusion to which the name is given.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 154- 
DENDROBIUM SANDERIANUM, Rolfe.—A very beautiful Bornean species 
belonging to the section Formosz, though differing from every other in 
having the base of the mentum inflated into a short sac, as m: D. 
Phalznopsis. The flowers are white, and most resemble those of D. 
Dearei, but are larger, and the lip broader, more entire, and stained with 
light purple at the base instead of light green. The stems continue to 
elongate for some time, and throw out fascicles of two or three flowers from 
the axils of the short leaves. It was introduced by Messrs. F. Sander and 
Co., of St. Albans, with whom it flowered last autumn.—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p- 155: 
DENDROBIUM GLOMERATUM, Rolfe.—A Moluccan species introduced by 
Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea, and flowered in their establish- 
ment last December. It belongs to the section Pedilonum, and bears short 
congested racemes of bright rose-coloured flowers with an orange-vermilion 
lip. 
THUNIA BRYMERIANA, Rolfe—A handsome Burmese species which 
flowered with Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, in June, 1892, and 
at Kew in the following year. It is allied to T. Marshalliana, Rchb. f., but 
differs in having the throat of the lip striped with numerous crimson-purple 
radiating veins. 
Ca@LoGyNE Mossi, Rolfe.—A native of the Nilghiri Hills, South India, 
which flowered in the collection of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill,
