A br ight sation dad Oncidium which bloomed d Messrs. 
F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, in April last, and received an Award of 
Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Its affinities are a little 
doubtful, but the united lateral sepals and broader petals would techni- 
cally placeit in Lindley's group Tetrapetala macropetala, of which it is 
the first-known species with heteromorphous flowers. In a revision of 
the genus the character derived from the union of the lateral sepals 
would certainly have to take a much more subordinate position than 
Lindley gave to it. One of the flowers received has these organs free, 
which would suggest another affinity for it, yet a search = other groups 
has not led to its identification with any ene Eu. s. If greater 
importance were assigned to the shape of the ves and column 
wings, most if not all the species with Pues Mic ide flowers would 
fall into the enlarged group Rostrate, including the present species.

This species n Mehr ied "eb with e LL a Charles- 
worthii, Rolfe, by N s. Charleswo rth, Shuttleworth, & Co., of Heaton, 
radford, with OT it flowered in April eg It belongs to the 
section Speciosce and is allied to S. compressum, Lindl., and S. trichro- 
muin, Rehb. It has the general h of the lat ter, but is a much 
smaller plant with a straight spur. owers are pale pinkish purple, 
with a bright purple blotch on either de of the lip sene to the minute 
front lobe. The side lobes are also very small, so that the lip is 
practically reduced to a straight spur, longer than the tern with the 
three minute lobes guarding the mouth.
