yellow; the petals are about two and a half inches long by an inch broad, of a | 
delicate yellow, passing into vinous purple at the tips and margins, and covered © 
with numerous small spots of blackish purple. The pouch is yellow, suffused and 
veined with rosy purple; scape sometimes two-flowered. For cultivation it requires 
the same treatment as most of the plants belonging to the warm section, and 
should be grown in the East Indian house. 
(Concluded from under Plate 505.) 
Three well-grown and vigorous specimens of Hulophiella Elizabethae, contributed 
by Mr. Hamilton, gardener to H. Bass, Esq., Berkeley, Burton-on-Trent, demonstrated 
that under judicious treatment these plants will make ample return for the care 
bestowed upon them. Messrs. Cypher and Co., Cheltenham, staged a nice group of 
plants, one of which, 7.e., Dendrobium Apollo, was the sensation of the show; this 
plant is the result of a cross between D. nobile pulchellum and D._, splendidissimum 
grandiflorum, the flowers being deeply coloured and of good substance. On a large 
specimen of Platyclinis glumacewm, shown by Sir F. Wigan, of East Sheen, we 
counted over sixty spikes of flowers, the whole forming a most charming effect. 
©. L. Ingram, Esq., of Godalming, had an interesting Cypripedium refulgens, the 
result of a cross between C. Curtisii and C. hirsutissimum, the pouch reminding 
one of the former, and the petals and sepal of the latter parent. A showy 
group was sent in by Messrs. B. 8. Williams and Son, conspicuous amongst which were 
several well-grown examples of the beautiful and rare Coelogyne cristata alba, which 
with its masses of pure white flowers made a fine display. Worthy of note, too, 
were Cypripedium Boxallii atratum, Cypripedium Measuresianum, the free-flowering 
form of C. Morganiae, C. Williamsianum, C. Chamberlainianum, and Lycaste 
fulvescens. A spike of a very dark and handsome form of Dendrobium nobile 
nobilius was shown by Thos. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield. Messrs. F. 
Sander and Co., St. Albans, contributed among many others, Cattleya albanensis 
superba, very handsome; Cypripedium Fowlerianum, C. miniatum, a handsome cross 
between C. Curtisii and C. insigne; Phajus Marthae, a cross between P. Blumet 
and P. tuberculosus, a dark form of the curious Masdevallia melanoxantha, an old 
species lost sight of in gardens; lastly Cattleya Trianae virginalis, very chaste and 
beautiful.
