252 THE ORCHID WORLD. 
Angracum Kotschyi, showing the very slight 
shade it grows in naturally. 
previously been imported into England, but 
from an island off the East Coast of Africa, 
and when my plants arrived the stock in 
cultivation had dwindled to three or four 
small plants. 
The consignment I sent consisted of large 
plants attached to the branches on which I 
found them. It was sent to Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, who grew the plants by simply 
hanging them up, still attached to the branch, 
in a hot house. So well did this treatment 
suit, that the fine plants shown by Sir Trevor 
at the Royal Horticultural Society in 
September, igog, were awarded a Cultural 
Commendation. 
The plants have no pseudo-bulbs, but thick 
fleshy leaves, ten mches long by four inches 
wide. The racemes are slender in character 
and of a length of two feet. The flowers are 
white, slightly tinted with pink, about two 
inches across, and have a slender spur several 
inches long.

The plant is not a forest Orchid, but only 
grows on isolated trees, generally Acacia, 
where it gets a large amount of sunlight. The 
small photograph clearly shows this, as well 
as the small amount of rooting material which 
a large plant requires.

ANGR/ECUM INFUNDIBULARE. 
This species is the largest flowering of the 
Uganda Orchids. Botanically interesting on 
account of the peculiar shape of the flower, it 
is by no means merely a botanical curiosity, 
but a really beautiful plant when in flower, 
Unfortunately, it has not proved very free- 
flowering in cultivation. It grows wild in the 
dense shady forests on the shores and islands 
of the Victoria Nyanza. 
The growths extend to great length, often 
five or six feet. The leaves are four inches 
long by one and a half inches broad. The 
flowers are white with the sepals and spur 
slightly tinted green. The funnel is four 
inches in length, and the lip two inches across, 
the spur being about five inches long.
