THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
All the houses are well provided with heating apparatus, hence many of 
the tropical Orchids not only grow unusually well, but apparently succeed 
even better than in their native home. Superb plants are to be seen of 
Bulbophyllum barbigerum, whose fragile lip is continually in motion, of 
B. tremulum, with a lip that is 
often on the tremble, of the 
extraordinary B. Ericssonii, 
aod of the large-flowering B. 
grandiflorum. The closely allied 
genus Cirrhopetalum is repre¬ 
sented, among others, by the. 
pretty C. picturatum and the , 
elegant C. Rothschildianum, 
while suspended overhead in 
pans are some remarkably fine 
plants of the Philippine Platy- 
ciinis filiformis, one of which 
carried just iqo pendulous 
spikes, on each of which there 
were from 70 to 130 small 
golden-yellow flowers, making 
a grand total of at least 10,000 
blooms. No wonder they were 
admired by thousands of visitors 
when exhibited at one of the 
great London Shows. 
Both kinds of albino varie¬ 
ties are to be seen in many 
examples. In the one that is 
truly white there are fine plants 
of the scarce Aerides odoratum 
album, as well as Epidendrum 
arachnoglossum album, with its 
tall reed-like stems and white 
spider-form flowers. In the 
other kinds there are many odontoglossum crispum pittianum. 
greenish-flowered plants that 
have lost the purple pigment. They include the choice novelty Cypri- 
pedium Enchantress, with mottled foliage, many plants of C. Curtisii 
Sander®, C. Maudiae and C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum. It is pleasing 
to note a flowering plant of the scarce Paphinia cristata, also of 
Cirrhaea viridipurpurea, and Acropera Loddigesii, with its pendulous
