To Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. 
W. H. White), for an interesting group of Orchids, the central 
figure being the extraordinary Bulbophyllum grandiflorum, with 
a very large flower, in which the sepals were the prominent 
feature, the Up and petals being very small. The large 
upper sepal was arched forward ; in colour cinnamon-brown, the 
venation being the darkest, and in places the spaces between 
them showed white blotches. The lower sepals were smaller 
than the upper, but similar in colour, except that they showed 
no white blotches. They were not spreading, but approached 
each other on the lower edge. Its nearest ally appears to be 
B. Leysianum, Burbridge, illustrated in the " Journal of the 
Royal Horticultural Society," August 1894. In the group also 
were Dendrobium canaliculatum, Eulophiella Elisabeths, Odon- 
toglossum crinitum sapphiratum, Dendrobium cruentum, Vanda
