CYCNOCHES MACULATUM. 
AN interesting fact has just come to light respecting the striking Cycnoches 
maculatum, namely, that it grows intermixed with C. chlorochilon. At a 
recent meeting of the R.H.S. a Cycnoches in flower was exhibited by 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., under the name of C. peruvianum, which was 
thought to be producing a short spike of female buds (supra, p. 343). It 
passed into the collection of Sir Trever Lawrence, but Mr. White informs - 
me that when the flowers expanded they proved to be ordinary C. 
chlorochilon, and it was found that the clump contained two distinct plants.
