Note:— It is not really certain if O’Brien intended to describe C. sanderae ; the following week in the Gardeners’ Chronicle (ser. 3, 13: 391) it was explained that the relevant part of Reichenbachia had not reached the editor of Gardeners’ Chronicle in time, and the name could therefore not be credited to Kraenzlin.
