Hall, Torquay, which was purchased some months ago’ as C. Percivaliana, 
and which it is said to resemble in its bulbs and narrow leaves, though the 
segments, and especially the lip, are more elongated. We suspect that it 
is an anomalous form of the species, and it would be interesting to know 
if it was imported with it. 
OBITUARY. 
' EDWARD SHUTTLEWORTH.—The death is announced of Mr. Edward 
Shuttleworth, who was well known to the older generation of Orchidists as 
a collector of Orchids and other plants, originally for the late Mr. William 
Bull. After some time spent with Messrs. Knight & Perry, at Chelsea, he 
entered the service of Mr. Bull, afterwards taking charge of the collection 
of G. H. Bunney, Esq., of Stratford. When that was dispersed, in 1872, he 
again entered Mr. Bull’s service, and in the following year was sent to 
Colombia on a collecting expedition, during which, and on subsequent trips, 
he sent home quantities of Cattleyas, Masdevallias (including several new 
species), Odontoglossums, and various other Orchids, &c. Later on he was 
in partnership with the late Mr. John Carder, under the title of Shuttle- 
worth, Carder & Co., and afterwards with Mr. J. Charlesworth, as 
Charlesworth, Shuttleworth & Co. Some fifteen years ago he retired. Mr. 
Shuttleworth had been ill for a considerable time, and his death took place 
on March 5th, when he was in his eightieth year. He was interred at 
Mortlake on March 11th. His name is commemorated in Masdevallia 
Shuttleworthii, Stanhopea Shuttleworthii, and two or three other things. 
OREN 
MEGACLINIUM BUFO AND M. EBURNEUM. 
It is interesting to record that the singular Megaclinium Bufo, which for so 
many years was only known from the original description, has been 
re-imported, and singularly enough, intermixed with another species only 
recently described, of which the habitat was unknown. M. Bufo was 
originally described by Lindley, from an inflorescence sent to him by Messrs. 
Loddiges, and of which a drawing was made. It is said to have been 
introduced from Sierra Leone. The plant itself was not described, and for 
a long time nothing more was heard about it. Not very long ago a plant of 
it flowered at Glasnevin, though I do noi know its origin: In 1907 some 
Orchids were sent to Kew from the Gold Coast, by Mr. J. Anderson, of the 
Agricultural Department, and when the other day one of them flowered it 
was a source of great satisfaction to recognise in it the long-lost plant. But 
a different inflorescence was also pushing up in the clump, and this proves 
to be M. eburneum, Pfitzer (Orchis, ii. p. 134), described from the 
Lichtenstein collection, at Eisgrub, a species allied to M. leucorachis, Rolfe, 
but having smaller ivory-white flowers, with a tinge of yellow at the apex of
