NOVELTIES. 
PLEUROTHALLIS PERNAMBUCENSIS, Rolfe.—A small species which appeared 
in a clump of Cattleya labiata, introduced from Pernambuco in the 
establishment of Messrs. W. L. Lewis and Co., Southgate, flowering in 
June last. It is allied to the West Indian P. testzfolia, Lindl. of the 
section Apodz prorepentes, and has few-flowered racemes of pale yellowish 
green flowers stained and speckled with light rosy purple—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p. 361. 
DENDROBIUM SUBCLAUSUM, Rolfe.—A_ brilliantly-coloured Moluccan 
species, which flowered in the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch and 
Sons, of Chelsea, in July last. It belongs to the section Pedilonum, and 
has bright cinnabar-orange flowers three-quarters of an inch long, and a 
lip with infolded apex so as to nearly close the flower; in allusion to which 
the name is given.— Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 361. 
MEGACLINIUM PUSILLUM, Rolfe.—An East Tropical African species which 
flowered at Glasnevin, under the care of Mr. F. W. Moore, A.L.S., in June 
last. It is allied to M. melanorachis, Rchb. f., and has a light green rachis 
marbled with purple-brown, and rather darker flowers.—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p- 362. 
MEGACLINIUM TRISTE, Rolfe.—A remarkable species which flowered at 
Kew in August last, and is believed to have been sent with a few other 
African Orchids by M. Godefroy Lebeuf, of Argenteuil, France. Its affinity 
is with M. leucorachis, Rolfe, though both the flowers and rachis are dull 
blackish in colour, and thus it is a very distinct species—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p. 362. 
CYRTOPERA FLEXUOSA, Rolfe.—A native of Mt. Kilimanjaro, East Africa, 
which flowered at Kew from May to August of the present year. Instead 
of subterranean rhizomes, it has aerial pseudobulbs, evergreen grass-like 
leaves, and flexuose scapes terminating in a short raceme of white flowers, 
with some purple spots and a light yellow disc.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 363. 
- SranHOPEA RanbDu, Rolfe.—A distinct and remarkable species from the 
Amazon delta, which flowered in the collection of E. S. Rand, Esq., of Para, 
Brazil. It is allied to S. eburnea, Lindl., but has much smaller, ivory- 
white: scented flowers, and the mouth of the hypochil reduced to a small 
transverse slit, with an erect horn on either side. The cavity is crowded 
with small papilla, which are doubtless connected with the insect which 
fertilises it. Mr. Rand describes it as very beautiful—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p. 363- : 
STANHOPEA NIGRIPES, Rolfe-——A very handsome species allied to S. 
Wardii, Lodd. and S. Ruckeri, Lindl. It has large yellow flowers with 
ring-like purple spots, and the base of the hypochil deep purple-black. It 
flowered at Kew in August, 1893, and again a year later, having been
