but from the description it is evidently C. anys nee, Lind. and 
Rchb. f., var. rosea. It is a native of Bahia. 
In another work (Plantas Novas cultivadas no Fardim Botanico do Rio de 
Faneiro) M. Rodrigues has figured his Cattleya Aquinii (p. 23, t. 4, fig. C.), 
which absolutely confirms the statement made at page 310 of our last 
volume that this plant is only a trilabiate state of C. intermedia, in which 
the peculiarity has become fixed or permanent. R. A. ROLFE. 
SCHOMBURGKIA TIBICINIS. 
I post you to-day flowers of Schomburgkia tibicinis, which I have 
now bloomed for the second time. The flower-stalk is thirty-nine 
inches long ; the length of the pseudobulb being thirteen and a half 
inches ; the greatest circumference five and a half inches, and 
bearing four leaves from four to six inches in iength. This plant has 
been grown during the winter, and up to the present time in full sun- 
light, and in a temperature of 60° to 62° Fahr. by night, and 65° to 
70° by day, pipe heat, together with any additional rise of temperature 
caused by the heat of the sun.. On one occasion the thermometer registered 
110°. Water has been given when required, but no syringing has been 
allowed. The plant is grown in a pot filled with crocks, and the rhizomes 
of the Orchid sit on the crocks, with only a small quantity of fibrous peat 
to surface the pot and to wedge the plant tight in its position.

DENDROBIUM VERATRIFOLIUM. 
This is a graceful and pretty species, which was exhibited at a meeting 
of the Royal Horticultural Society, on June 12th last, by Mr. W. H. Young, 
Orchid grower to F. Wigan, Esq., Clare Lawn, East Sheen. Plants were 
distributed by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, several months ago. 
It has, however, been known to science for upwards of half a century, 
having been described by Lindley in 1843 (Hook. Lond. Fourn. of Bot., ii. 
p. 236), from dried specimens collected by the late Surgeon-Major Hinds, in 
New Guinea. D. lineale, Rolfe (Gard. Chrom, 188g, ii. p. 381), is evidently 
the same species, though its identity has previously been overlooked. Thus 
the species was introduced to cultivation five years ago by Messrs. James 
Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea, who received an Award of Merit for it on 
June 10,1890. The sepals and petals are white, and the lip beautifully 
veined with light purple. There is a very closely allied plant in the 
Solomon Islands, not yet in cultivation, which has rather larger petals, but 
may prove to be a variety of the same.
