﻿THE ORC 11111 REVIEW. 



i of the partners of the well-kn 

 nd Morris, Cheapside, for a pe 



and December, 1903. About 32 species were found, among them bei 

 several new to the Flora of the United States or new to science, the m< 

 interesting of the latter being Tropidia Eatoni (t. 5), a species of a gen 

 hitherto only known from the tropics of the Old World. In an int 

 ductorv note Mr. Ames remarks :— " The Orchid flora of Florida, so 

 as at present known, bears a striking resemblance to that of the W 

 Indies and of Mexico, so that it is not altogether surprising to find tl 

 out of the total number of species in the following list twenty, or nea 



seen by me m collections from Mexico and Central America." 



A photograph of a remarkable specimen of Dendrobium speciosum r 

 been sent by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, who receiv 

 it from C. T. Gosper, Esq., of Sydney. It is labelled " Dendrobii 

 speciosum in natural growth and bloom." It is a noble specimi 

 exceeding the one figured at page 105 of our tenth volume, and is covei 

 with flowers throughout. It must have been a remarkable sight when 



An inflorescence of a bright yellow form of the same species is : 

 Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., of Bush Hill Park. The spikes are sa 

 fifteen inches long, and to bear from fifty to eighty flowers. 



The last part of the Icones bogoriensis is devoted to descriptk 

 figures of Malayan Orchids, by J. J. Smith, of Buitenzorg, Java 

 60 species being figured on twenty-five plates, most of then 

 novelties of botanical interest. Dendrobium comes first in p 

 numbers, with eleven species, and Microstylis next with seven.
