Album.” In July, t891, Messrs. Sander sent to Kew for determination a 
flower which was said to have appeared in the collection of Mr. R. H. 
Measures, of Streatham, in an importation of A. Ruckeri, and two years 
later another came from M. A. Van Imschoot, of Mont St. Amand, Ghent, 
without record of origin; while in September, 1894, another flower came 
from Messrs. Sander, from a plant said to have been received from Peru. 
All these proved to be the true A. eburnea, and the flower now sent by 
Mr. Tracy is identical. 
Anguloa uniflora, the original species of the genus, was described and 
figured by Ruiz and Pavon in 1794 (Fl. Peruv. et Chil. Prodr., p. 118, t. 26), 
from materials collected by them during their mission to Peru about 1777- 
1780. It is described as occurring at Muna and Chinchao, and profusely in 
the district of Tarma, and Messrs. Veitch remark that it was found at the 
first-mentioned locality (about lat. 10° S.) by their collector, Walter Davis, 
associated with Cypripedium caudatum, growing among the scrub and long 
bushes, generally in partial shade. 
In 1844 a plant was figured by Lindley under the name of Anguloa 
uniflora (Bot. Reg., xxx. t. 60), which had flowered in tke collection of Mr. 
G. Barker, of Birmingham, in April of that year. It is said to have been 
received among Colombian collections from Linden. This is the plant 
which has ever since borne the name of A. uniflora in gardens, but a 
comparison with the original figure of Ruiz and Pavon (above cited) shows 
marked discrepancies. In fact A. eburnea is the original A. uniflora, Ruiz 
and Pavon, for the globose shape, broad segments, ovate front lobe of the 
lip, and acute lobes of the rostellum are unmistakable. The garden plant 
may in future be called A. virginalis, Linden, which is its earliest 
unappropriated name. R. A. R

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SEVERAL handsome flowers are sent from the collection of H. S. Goodson, 
Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr. Day. Two forms of Cattleya x Adula 
(bicolor X Hardyana) show great diversity in colour. One called Goodson’s 
variety has light greenish yellow sepals and petals, anda brilliant violet-rose 
lip, while in that called var. Bronze Wing the sepals and petals may be 
described as salmon-rose, and the lip is rather larger and more crimson in 
colour. Both are very beautiful and show a considerable general 
resemblance to C. x Iris. A fine hybrid from Cattleya Bowringiana X 
granulosa will be a form of C. X Hopkinsii (Orchid Stud-Book, p. 262), and 
has bright mauve-purple sepals and petals, most resembling those of the 
second parent in shape, while the lip is strongly three-lobed, with infolded 
white side lobes, a bright purple front lobe, with darker veins, and a trace 
of buff on the sides of the isthmus. The other is said to be a hybrid from 
Cattleya Leopoldi and Brassavola Digbyana, and thus should be a form of
