New Or Noteworthy Plant.
NEW OR NOTEWORTHY PLANT .
OYPRIPEDIUM CHAMBERLAINIANUM . O'Brien , n . sp . THIS is a surprising beautiful and distinct novelty , and quite unexpected by its lucky importers , Messrs . F . Sander and Co ., of St . Albans , who , when sending their collector to a hitherto
unsearched part of New Guinea , had little hopes of gaining such a plant , which , in addition to being an entirely new species , is also the first of a totally new section of Cypripedium . The plant is robnst , and resembles a giant C , Spioerianum , or it might easily be taken for a large Angrsooum pellucidum , so distinct is its growth from that of
any other species . From the evidence of the dried spikes sent over by tha collector , and those which opened immediately after their arrival , it can be seen that native specimens have spikes showing from twelve to twenty or even more flowers on a spike , each flower springing from a stout
and ornamental bract . The flowers themselves may be likened in colonr to those of C . superbiens or C . Morgana ) , bnt in their botanical features there is nothing to compare them with . The dorsal sepal is yellowish-white , with six rosy-purple lines , three on each side of the mid-rib , and the base of tho sepal has a profusion of rosy-purple
spots . The lower sepal is similar to the upper , but smaller ; and a very peculiar feature in both is , that they are strongly pubescent or hairy on the backs . Tho petals are spreading , curled , and twisted , and beautifully spotted with crimson , the margins undulated and
furnished with white hairs at the edges . Tbe labellum or pouch is white , beautifully and densely spotted with rose colonr on the lower portion . Altogether it is a charming plant , and well worthy to bear the name of the Right Hon . Joseph Chamberlain , M . P ., to whom Messrs . Sander have requested it to be dedicated . —James O'Brien .
It is an absurd idea to hold that Speculative Masonry of the present day must be governed by exactly the same regnlatiocs that controlled Operative Masonry many centuries ago . It is especially absurd to insist that the requisite qualifications of a candidate to become a Mason now , must be precisely the same as those whioh
were reqnired in the taking of an apprentice to learn the trade of a stone tnason some five or six hundred years ago . Let us rather use a little good common sense and act in this matter , and all others pertaining to the government of Masonry , not for the past , bnt for its present and future benefit . —Masonic Advocate .
Cardinal Lavigerie has founded a Fraternity of Warrior-Monfls , a sort of fin-de-siecle Knights Templar . The Father Superior of the Order is the Vicomte de Brassac , who was formerly well known in the French sporting world , and hia colleagues are young nobleman who have grown blase with the gay life of Paris . Thoy have taken vows of celebracy for five years , and they are going to try their hand at converting Arab slave-dealers and Moorish Mdssulmen .
