6 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JAN.-FFB, 1920. 
flowers, Lelia Gouldiana with two fine spikes, Lzliocattleya Britannia, a 
number of Cypripediums and many other things made a good show. 
There are three Cattleya houses at Bletchley Park, well stocked with a 
good variety of Brassocattleyas, Lzeliocattleyas, etc. One of these is 
filled chiefly with home-raised seedlings of a fair size, and one is used more 
asa resting house during the winter, being occupied with plants that have 
recently flowered and are now dormant. A good number of albinos were 
pointed out, and many interesting choice things, among which I might 
mention C. Golden King var. Peter, C. Lady Leon, a fine variety of C. 
Soulange, Lc. Rex, Lc. Olenus, C. Hardyana alba, good batches. of C. 
gigas, C. Dowiana aurea, etc. 
A division is devoted to Vandas, Angrecums, and Aérides, and fine 
healthy plants of V. tricolor, suavis and Amesiana were noted, together with 
Angrecum sesquipedale, Aérides Fieldingii, Sobralia xantholeuca, and 
other interesting plants which enjoy the moist warm temperature here 
maintained. 
The Cypripedium house was quite gay with flowers at the time of my 
visit, and emphasized the importance of this section as winter bloomers. 
The plants were in a very fine condition, and being mostly specimen plants 
with numerous growths in flower, and the flowers well developed on long 
stems, they were seen at their best. Most of the well-known good hybrids 
are grown, such as Gaston Bultel, Thalia in-variety, Lord Ossulston, many 
varieties of Leeanum, including Gratrixie. This was a very fine display 
indeed. 
It isa matter for congratulation that Sir Herbert and Lady Leon main- 
tain so keen an interest in their Orchid collection, which gives promise of 
still further development in the future. 
The cultural charge is in the hands of Mr. W. Field, who is to be 
complimented on the general healthy condition of the plants.

ONCIDIUM INCURVOPHORUM _—A distinct and attractive hybrid raised by 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, from O. incurvum and O. 
corynephorum, the latter being the remarkable Peruvian species which is 
figured as the frontispiece to our thirteenth volume. The flower is most 
like O. incurvum in shape, but has a broad rounded front lobe to the lip, 
in this respect recalling the second parent. The flowers are lilac-coloured 
with a purple lip. The habit is that of O. incurvum, the straggling 
character of the other parent having been lost. If pollen is at any time 
available, we would suggest that the hybrid should again be crossed with O- 
cornephorum, in order to improve further the shape of the flowers, for the 
Sohaoes are completely in harmony.
