purchased at a sale in 1892 without any note of its origin.—NKew Bulletin, 
1894, p- 364. 
CATASETUM PUNCTATUM, Rolfe.—A Brazilian species, introduced by 
Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Internationale, Brussels, and flowered in 
their establishment in July last. It is allied to C. albovirens, Rodr., and 
has yellowish green aromatic flowers, which are spotted with brown on the 
sepals and petals.—Kew Bulletin, 1894, p. 364. 
PoLycycNnis LEHMANNI, Rolfe.—A pretty New Granadan species, intro- 
duced by Mr. F. C. Lehmann, which flowered in the collection of Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking, in August last. It is allied to P. 
barbata, Rchb. f., and has light tawny-brown flowers spotted with purple, 
the lip being lighter with darker spots, and the disc hairy.—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p. 365. 
VANDA ROEBLINGIANA, Rolfe-—A remarkable species, introduced from the 
vicinity of Singapore by Messrs. Hugh Low and Co., of Clapton, with 
whom it flowered in July last. It is allied to V. limbata, Blume, and 
V. brunnea, Rchb. f., but differs from every other in having the narrow lip 
dilated in front into a pair of large spreading halbert-shaped lobes. The 
flowers are deep brown, irregularly veined with yellowish green, except the 
side lobes, which are white, streaked with purple. A single plant only is at 
present known, which produced eight spikes of flowers. It is dedicated to 
the Hon. C. G. Roebling, Trenton, New Jersey, U.S.A.—Kew Bulletin, 
1894, p. 365.

GALEANDRA LAGOENSIS. 
This is the latest addition to the cultivated species of Galeandra, having 
flowered for the first time at St. Albans early in the present year, and again 
some time later, as on July 24th, it received an Award of Merit from the 
Royal Horticultural Society. It was described, however, in 1881 (Rchb. f. 
and Warm. in Otia Bot. Hamb., p. 88) from dried specimens collected at 
Lagoa Santa in the province of Minas Geraes, Brazil, by Dr. Eugene 
Warming, and somewhat later a figure appeared (Warm. in Vidensk Medd. 
Kjobenh., 1884-86, p. 87, t. 6, fig. 6). As long previously as 1850 it was 
found near Santarem, on the Upper Amazon, by Spruce, though it does not 
appear to have been previously described. It was introduced to cultivation 
by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, who obtained plants from the 
Rio San Francisco, Brazil. Thus it would appear to be rather widely dif- 
fused, for the specimens from these different localities are so much alike, 
and so different from any other species of the genus, as to leave little doubt 
of their specific identity. It isan interesting addition to the list of culti- 
vated species.
