NOVELTIES. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X CORADINEI VAR. MIRABILE, Rolfe.—A remarkably 
distinct and handsome Odontoglossum has appeared in Baron Schréder’s 
rich collection at The Dell, Egham, which on careful examination shows 
such unmistakable affinity with O. crispum and O. Lindleyanum as to 
leave no doubt of its being a natural hybrid between them. It must there- 
fore be classed as an exceptional variety of O. x Coradinei. The flower 
measures three inches in diameter across the petals, which latter are eight 
lines broad. The ground colour is ivory white when first opening, but 
afterwards pure white, while the blotches are bright cinnamon brown. 
About two-thirds of each sepal is taken up by the latter colour, apparently 
by two or three very large blotches which are nearly confluent in one. The 
petals also have one large blotch above the middle, and two or three small 
ones near the margin below. The disc of the lip bears a large cordate- 
shaped blotch, leaving a white tip and very narrow white margin, while the 
crest and disc are bright yellow, streaked with brown. The shape of the 
lip and crest, as well as the wings of the column and arrangement of the 
blotches, all show unmistakably the influence of O. Lindleyanum added to 
the characters of O. crispum. It is by far the most striking variety of O. x 
Coradinei which I have seen, the contrast of colour being very effective. It 
received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
June 12th, under the name of O. crispum mirabile. 
DENDROBIUM HILDEBRANDU, Rolfe. A handsome species collected in 
the Shan States by H. H. Hildebrand, Esq., who sent it to Messrs. Hugh 
Low and Co., of Clapton, with whom it flowered last spring. It has the 
habit of a strong D. signatum, and light yellow flowers whose segments are 
twisted as in D. tortile. It is somewhat variable in colour, and is said to 
grow in magnificent huge masses, as many as fifteen hundred having been 
counted on a single clump.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 182. 
DENDROBIUM HAMATUM, Rolfe. A member of the Pedilonum section, 
introduced from Cochin China by M. A. Regnier, of Fontenay-sous- bois, 
France, who flowered it in April last. The flowers are borne in racemes, 
light whitish yellow striped with purple, and the chin of the lip an inch 
long, and hooked, whence the name.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 183. 
ERIA CINNABARINA, Rolfe. A Bornean species of the section Hymenaria, 
whose flowers, including the racemes, pedicels, and bracts, are deep cinnabar- 
orange coloured. It flowered with Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Inter- 
nationale, Brussels, in April last.— Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 183. 
C@LOGYNE SwaNIANa, Rolfe. A Philippine species allied to C. Dayana 
and C. Massangeana, which was introduced by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., 
St. Albans, and flowered in their establishment in April last.—Kew Bulletin, 
1594, p- 183. 
EPIDENDRUM Evtisi, Rolfe. This handsome Columbian species
