to Mr. Berkeley, were shown; also x Gesnera Chelsoni, a hybrid 
between Gesnera macrantha and Dolichodeira tubiflora and 
Choretis glauca. 
Pollinia of Orchis latifolia .—Rev. George Henslow exhibited 
flowers of Orchis latifolia sub sp. incarnata, and stated that the 
pollinia when removed on a pencil-point do not become depressed 
slowly, as is the case with 0 . maculata, &c., but drop down 
suddenly, the caudicle being too slender to support the weight 
of the pollen-mass. The highly elastic caudicle is flattened 
transversely to the line of falling, and slightly concave just above 
the viscid disk, which is firmly fixed by the gummy cement with 
great rapidity.
