Within the next few years the following were added to this collection : C. albo-macu- latu'm, C. Leopoldi, C. Sieboldi, C. pellu- Cidum, C. Devosianum (C. Wallisii), C. hsematostlgrmatum, C. regale, C. mira- blle, C. Duchartrei, C. Wighti and C. Curwadli. Here it may be of in- terest to note that most of these va- rieties are still found in cultivation. All just mentioned belong to the C. bicolor group, and are considered varieties by Dr. Engler. WAIXIS' REPORTS. About this time Gustav Wallis, the celebrated plant collector, reported that the forests along the lower Amazon are covered for miles and miles with these beautiful leaved plants during the rainy season. From this it seems quite evi- dent that not only species, but also va- rieties, were collected and introduced. Bates, the naturalist, also reports a number which he saw in the Para regions. Among these were C. pictura- tum, a species with blue green foliage and dark red midrib. It has never been known whether Chantin, the first known cultivator of this genus, attempted hybridization. But LK)uis van Houtte obtained a num- ber of hybrids through oross-fertili- zatdon, many of which are still in cul- tivation. Among these were: C. Bo- hemicum. C. Jules Putzcys, C. Leopold II, C. Lindleyanum, C. Marchandi, C. Skopetzianum, C. Rodeckii, C. Reich- enbachianum, C. Petschkaui, C. Lind- leyanum, C. Ortgiesii, C
