THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
to Messrs. Sanders, for a small but pretty exhibit containing Cattleya 
Hardyana alba, Cypripedium callo-Rothschildianum, C. Rossettii Sander’s 
var., C. Maudiae, Dendrochilum filiforme, and Brassocattleya Euterpe. 
Messrs. Stuart Low & Co. received a Gold Medal for Carnations and 
Orchids, among them being Vanda ccerulea, a fine variety of Lc. Sargon, 
Lc. Ivernia Muriel Wilson, and Cattleya Warscewiczii. E.C. 
Bulbophyllum Dearei. —This interesting species, which possesses 
something more than a botanical attraction, originally appeared in 1883* 
being exhibited by Lt.-Col. Deare at South Kensington. In May 1890, it 
was shown by the late Baron Schroder and received an Award of Merit. 
But instead of seeing this plant under its original name, we often come 
across it as Bulbophyllum Godseffianum, a name it received in June, 1890, 
when exhibited by Messrs. Sanders. There does not appear to be any 
distinction between the two, except that the plant first called B. Godseff- 
aanum may have been a fine variety of B. Dearei. 
Orchids of Longs Peak, Colorado. —When Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell, 
accompanied by his wife, paid a visit to Longs Peak Inn, Colorado, a 
special effort was made to find Orchids, but only three were obtained, these 
being Limnorchis viridiflora, Chamisso; in a swampy place at Estes Park 
Village, Lysiella obtusata, Pursh; and Coeloglossum bracteatum, Willd. 
The district has an altitude of 7,500 to 11,400 feet, and an account of the 
plants found is published in Torreya, vol. 13, No. 12. Of the Lysiella, it is 
remarked:—Found by Mrs. Cockerell, who was so fortunate as to 
observe a moth visiting the flowers, evidently serving as an agent in 
pollination. A specimen captured carried a bright yellow pollinium on its 
head, the base of the stalk attached to the front of the moth’s left eye. The 
moth proved to be a perfectly typical Rheumaptera tristata, a species 
common to the northern parts of America and Europe. Rydberg states 
that Lysiella obtusata occurs in a single European locality in northern 
Norway. It is interesting to know that it may there be visited by the same 
species of moth. Coeloglossum bracteatum appears to be very rare in 
Colorado; Rydberg merely cites it from Colorado, adding ‘ exact locality 
not given.’ Nelson gives the distribution as * Northern Wyoming, eastward 
and to the Atlantic,’ thus excluding Colorado altogether. One plant is 
perfectly characteristic of the species.” 
Orchid Challenge Cups. —At the special display of Orchids to be 
held at the Royal Horticultural Society on November 1st, 1921, two 
valuable Challenge Cups will be offered for competition. Any competitor 
winning one of them three times will become the owner of it.
