236 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Little, Esq., The Barons, East Twickenham, where we had the pleasure 
of seeing it. It differs from the typical form in having lost all the 
purple-brown markings, leaving the flower wholly yellowish green, and thus 
is a case of albinism. It had shown the same peculiarity in previous years 
before coming into Mr. Little’s possession. We learn that the plant has 
now passed into the collection of R. I. Measures, Esq., of eg recat 
Camberwell. 
NOVELTIES. 
SOBRALIA MACRANTHA VAR. HopGKINSONI, Rolfe.—This is an exceptionally 
large and beautiful variety, from the collection of Alex. Hodgkinson, Esq., 
The Grange, Wilmslow, Cheshire. The sepals are four inches long by 
eleven lines broad, and of a pale delicate rosy lilac, nearly white on the 
outside; the petals sixteen lines broad and brighter in colour, while the lip 
is over three inches broad in front and of the usual brilliant rose-purple 
tint, but with the whole of the throat and a little outside it of a very 
bright yellow, becoming light orange on the veins of the disc. The plant 
has the strong habit and general appearance of S. xantholeuca, Rchb. f. 
Mr. Hodgkinson bought it at the sale of the late Mr. Statter’s collection, 
whence it had been obtained from Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, 
who imported it with S. xantholeuca in 1886 or 1887. I have known it 
since March, 1891. It is altogether an exceptional variety of great beauty, 
and at first sight looks like something else, though the resemblance of 
S. macrantha is so great, that I think it must be placed as a variety of this 
species. 
MEGACLINIUM NUMMULARIA, Wendl. and Kranzl.—A very small species, 
from the collection of Mr. Wendland, of Herrenhausen, which had been 
sent from the German Cameroons by the late J. Braun. It is allied to 
M. minutum, Rolfe, but has ciliate flowers. The bulbs are flattened, the 
leaves an inch long by half as broad, and the raceme half an inch long, with 
about six or eight green and purple flowers, the dorsal sepal being wholly 
dark purple.—Gard. Chron., June 2nd, p. 685. 
BULBOPHYLLUM HooKERIANUM, Wendl. and Kranzl.—A West African 
species, from the collection of Mr. Wendland, of Herrenhausen, and sup- 
posed to be identical with one collected long ago by Gustav Mann; though 
if the description is correct, it is as certainly different. It bears a raceme 
ot small orange-coloured flowers.—Gard. Chron., June 2nd, p. 685. 
ANGRZCUM FouRNIERIANUM, Kranzl.—A native of Madagascar, introduced 
by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans. The flowers are greenish white, 
about two inches long, and borne in long racemes. It received an Award 
of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society on June 26th last Saseqader 
Chron., ss doth, p- 808.
