stained with the same colour, and there is a 
round yellow blotch on the base of the

ACANTHOPHIPPIUM SINENSE, from the 
Swatow District of China. — Collected on the 
Han Expedition, April, 1909. 
Cycnoches Cooperi, from S. Peru. — 
Flowered with Messrs. Sander and Sons, 
January, 191 3, when it received an Award of 
Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. 
The plant is now in the collection of the 
Rev. J. C. B. Fletcher, Mundham Vicarage, 
Chichester, who forwarded materials for 
description and preservation. The sepals and 
petals are light mahogany-brown, the side 
lobes of tlie lip whitish, and the column dull 
purple. The female flowers are not yet 
known. 
OnCIDIUM BIDENTATUM, from Ecuador. — 
Sent for determination by Mrs. Lipscomb, 
Wimbledon, who received it from her son 
when residing in Ecuador. The flowers are 
yellow, with a large amount of brown on the 
sepals and petals, and on the basal half of 
the lip. 
Dendrocolla Pricei, from Formosa. — 
Sent to Kew in 191 2 by Mr. W. R. Price, and 
flowered in the collection in February of the 
following year. The flowers are semi-pellucid 
white, with transverse brown bars on the sac 
of the lip, two orange blotches at the inner 
angles of the side lobes, and an orange apex 
to the crest. 
CleisosTOMA acuminatum, from For- 
mosa, whence it had been brought by Mr. 
H. J. Elwes, and flowered in his collection at 
Cheltenham, February, 191 3. — The sepals 
and petals are yellowish-green, with one or 
two large transverse purple blotches, and the 
lip cream-white with a little yellow at the 
junction of the front and side lobes. The 
description is made from an inflorescence and 
a photograph of the plant. 
Mystacidium GRACILLIMUM, from 
Uganda. — Flowered in the Royal Botanic 
Gardens, Glasnevin, in December, 191 1, 
and again a year later. The flowers are 
semi-pellucid white. 
Glossula CALCARATA, from S. China. — 
Originally collected on the Lo-fau-shan 
Mountains by Mr. C. Ford, and distributed as 
Glossula tentaculata, Lindl, and afterwards 
in Hongkong by Dr. E. A. Voretzsch. The 
spur is clavate, and three times as long as 
G. tentaculata, to which it bears a general 
resemblance in other respects. The stigmatic 
processes are not clavate, as in Habenaria. 
NEW HYBRIDS. 
L^lio-Cattleya Baskett/e. — A deli- 
cately tinted flower comes from the collection 
of Mr. Eustace F. Clark, Evershot, Dorset. 
The parents are L.-C. eximia (Warneri x 
purpurata) x Schroderje, and the seedling was 
purchased at the sale of Mr. Larkin's plants, 
191 1. In general, the flower much resembles 
the well-known L.-C. Fascinator (purpurata 
X Schroder^e), the Warneri having only slight 
influence, but it may be more apparent in 
other varieties from the same seed-pod. It is 
worthy of note that in this hybrid the fine 
variety of Schroderee called The Baron was 
used. 
L.elio-Cattleya Hibernia. — Messrs. 
Sander and Sons have produced a very 
effective and distinctly coloured hybrid by 
crossing C. Schrodera; with L.-C. bletch- 
leyensis (tenebrosa x Warscewiczii). The 
tenebrosa influence has imparted a rare 
copper colour tint to the otherwise rose- 
coloured flower, the labellum, especially the 
throat, being rather darker than other parts. 
L/ELio - Cattleya Caledonia. — C. 
Mendelii crossed with L.-C. bletchleyensis 
has given a very pretty result, in which the 
petals are flushed with purple along their 
median line, and the labellum much crisped, 
and of rose-purple colour. Raised by INIessrs. 
.Sander and Sons, St. Albans. 
L.5;lio-Cattleya Lady Roberts.— A 
\'ery handsome hybrid was shown by Mr. 
Francis Wellesley at the Royal Horticultural 
Society, June 3rd, 191 3. The parents are 
L.-C. Euphrosyne (Dayana x Warscewiczii) 
and C. aurea, resulting in a large and rich 
rose-purple flower, the broad labellum dark 
crimson, veined with gold.
