THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
The painting of Coelogyne cristata alba is dated April, 1881, the year 
when Reichenbach described it, although it was known for a short time 
previously. Its value then must have been considerable, for when a plant 
was put up to auction four years later it realised £131. This variety is 
entirely without the yellow on the labellum. Coelogyne pulchella shows a 
spike of nine flowers, dated April, 1900, just two years after it was originally 
described as a new species. Two other interesting little plants represented 
are Scelochilus carinatus, Jan., 1897, a short time after its introduction, 
and Warrea cyanea. Especially well portrayed is the six-flowered spike of 
Vanda Miss Joaquim, which received F.C.C., R.H.S., June, 1897. A note 
qn the back reads, “The plant was raised at Singapore by the lady 
after whom it was named. This is the first flower spike obtained 
in Europe.” 
The rare Sobralia Lindenii, the elegant Maxillaria striata grandiflora, 
and a fine variety of Vanda Sanderiana called roseo-alba may also be 
considered worthy of mention. Warscewiczella Lindenii represents W. 
amazonica of forty years earlier date. Many Botanical Certificates were 
awarded to Sir Trevor’s plants, an interesting example of which is seen in 
the painting of Polycycnis Lehmannii, representing the actual spike from 
which the original description was drawn up in 1894. Sievkingia Reichen- 
bachiana shows this plant as it flowered in 1896, or two years before being 
described as a new species. We now come to Trevoria Chloris, a large 
painting showing the plant with a pair of leaves and a pendulous spike of 
greenish flowers, which have the uncommon feature of the labellum standing 
upright. It is seldom that a new genus is created, but Mr. F. C. 
Lehmann, the author of this one, stated, “I have named this genus of 
Orchidacese in honour and commemoration of Sir Trevor Lawrence, one of 
the most enthusiastic Orchidists that ever lived. May Sir Trevor’s love 
of Orchids per dure sempervirent as Chloris, the goddess of flowers.” 
Orchid Culture in . Java. —Front S. Y. Dunlop, Esq., Tea Estate, 
near Soekaboemi, Java, comes an interesting photograph, taken by himself, 
showing the interior of his Orchid house, the front of which is composed of 
wire netting, while the interior can be illuminated by electric light when 
required. The plants are cultivated in large earthenware pans, having wide 
apertures in the side for admitting air to the roots,%nd look remarkably 
vigorous. In the centre is a fine plant of Cattleya Warscewiczii (gigas) 
with nine flowers, also the variety of this species known as “ Sanderiana,” 
and equally well flowered. Other good flowering specimens include 
C. Trianae, C. Mossiae, C. Schroderae alba, with six blooms, C. Mendelii, as 
well as Lc. Aphrodite and Lc.. Fascinator. Mr. Dunlop’s garden is situated 
at an altitude of 3,600 feet on the Gedeh Mountain.
