THE ORCHID REVIEW 
Von. XXIX ] SEPTEMBER, 1921. [No. 339. 
NOTES. 
Cypripedium Stonei platyt^enium. —Referring to our note on p. 37, 
regarding this plant realising 140 guineas, a correspondent kindly reminds 
us that at the Lee sale it realised £315, while another friend draws our 
attention to a newspaper report, which described it as “ of almost priceless 
value, because it has longer whiskers.” 
Glasgow Orchid Collections. —Mr. James Whitton, J.P., V.M.H., 
Director of Parks and Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, attended the meeting of 
the Royal Horticultural Society, August 9th, and accepted the invitation to" 
sit with the Orchid Committee. In response to the Chairman’s welcome,- 
Mr. Whitton said that the Public Parks of Glasgow, now contain some 
10,000 Orchids, of which about 200 are Masdevallias. Odontoglossums and 
Cypripediums are found to be of more use than Cattleyas and Laelias, for 
the latter are often affected by autumn fogs. The collections prove of 
considerable interest to the numerous visitors. 
Odontoglossum Pescatorei Sanders. —It is somewhat remarkable, 
that with all the many varieties of O. crispum, there are but few distinct: 
forms of the closely related O. Pescatorei. Of the spotted varieties the best 
is undoubtedly Veitchii, while' the large white forms are not quite so rare^ 
We have just received a spike of O. Pescatorei Sanderae, which originally 
appeared in an importation of the species received some years ago by the" 
the late Mr. H. A. Tracy. Afterwards it went into Baron Schroder’s famous 
collection at the Dell, and is now among the many fine Orchids possessed 
by Baron Bruno Schroder, who obtained a First-class Certificate for the" 
plant when exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society, January 7th, 1913. 
The flowers are of typical size, the inner parts of the sepals blotched, and of 
the petals spotted, with cinnamon-brown, the lip is entirely without 
spotting. This white lip is characteristic of O. Pescatorei, and in ther 
hybrids containing a large share of this species the lip is usually white and 
pandurate in form.
