Spathoglottis hybrids raised during the year were rather disappointing, 
and few in number, as the hybrids of this genus seem to be almost sterile. 
The best hybrids are still the orginal “Primrose” ( S. plicata x aurea ) and 
“Parsons Junior” ( Parsonsii x plicata). We have now succeeded in 
obtaining a fair quantity of seeds from the latter by selfing and hope for 
some interesting results. 
Of new additions to the general collection, the most important were 
Dendrobium trilamellatum, D. stratiotes, D. d’Albertisii, D. ieporinum, 
D. Johannis and D. pseudoconanthum.
