pseudobulbs much closer together on the rhizome. It was received 
from Mr. J. O’Brien, with the information that it was found “ growing 
* on roots of Vanda stangeana, said to have come from the Moluccas.” 
There seems to be a little doubt about the habitat. Vanda stangeana, 
Rchb. f., was described from a garden plant said to have l2 facri rted 
from sa but little or nothing i is known about it beyon ae on 
description. The flowers of C. whiteanum are light ehem o

This was received from M. A. Van Tmschoot, of Mont-St.-Amand, 
Gand, in July last. It is allied to Megaclinium oxypterum, Lindl., in 
which the flowers are much more crowded, and situated in the centre of 
the rachis, while in the present one they are in a line much nearer to the 
lower margin; besides being different in structure. The rachis is light 
green, with numerous minute black dots near the margin. The flowers 
are light yellowish green, with iis reflexed tips and margins of the 
sepals dusky brown and a few siilar spots near t the EL. à

A distinet "e very pretty species ep to the group Cawlescentes, 
ant allied to M. tenuifolia, Lindl. It was sent from the neighbourhood 
of. the Chiriq ui Lagoon, to Mr. J. O'Brien, with whom it flowered in 
April 1890. Plants were distributed to Kew, Glasnevin, and one or two — 
private collections, where they have since flowered. The sepals are dull | "s
