JULY, 1922.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 209 
Odontiodas are proportionately well represented, foremost among them 
being the Warnham Court variety of Oda. Joan (A.M., R.H.S., March 23rd, 
1920). One end of the Cool house is devoted to Miltonia vexillaria and the 
closely allied forms and hybrids which of late years have been produced. 
The most attractive are those having a bold dark crimson blotch of colour 
on the labellum, and obtained through the use of M. vexillaria G. D. Owen. 
Some six dozen plants, many with several leads, are to be seen. The curious 
Nanodes Meduse is cultivated in a shallow pan. 
The Cattleya house contains numerous representatives of the best-known 
species, coloured as well as white varieties all yielding excellent flowers in 
their respective seasons. One of the attractions at the time these notes 
were taken was a strong plant of Lelia purpurata Russelliana, with a spike 
of four flowers. Lzliocattleya warnhamensis (L. cinnabarina X C. Triane), 
F.C.C., R.H.S., was one of the first seedlings raised in this garden. A 
pretty yellow-flowering hybrid is to be seen in Cattleya Tankervilliz (bicolor 
x Rex), and pure white flowers are produced by Cattleya Albion, selected 
varieties of Brassocattleya Digbyano-Mendelii, and the elegant Bc. Albion. 
There is a healthy plant of Cattleya Iris with several tall bulbs, and apart 
from being a fine variety is of interest as being a hybrid that is nothing like 
so plentiful as formerly. Most of the primary hybrids of Brassavola 
Digbyana are considerably lacking in colour, but in the variety of B.c. 
Digbyano-Warneri known as Eric Lucas there exists a flower of rich rosy- 
mauve tints. Facing the entrance to this house several fine varieties of 
Lzliocattleya Marlburia (L. Boothiana x C. Schréderz) were in flower. 
The soft rose tints and the delicate veining on the labellum of this hybrid 
are exceedingly beautiful. It is quite a lady’s flower. Sophronitis hybrids 
are well represented in Sophrocattleya warnhamensis (S. grandiflora x C. 
amethystoglossa), and especially in Sophrocattlelia warnhamensis, which 
obtained a First-class Certificate, R.H.S., November rgth, 1918, when 
exhibited by Mr. Lucas. 
An old species, and one now rarely seen, is Lelia harpophylla, which 
grows well in this house. In pans suspended from the roof are selected 
varieties of Lzelia anceps, and at the end staging are several hundred young 
seedlings, from which, no doubt, several meritorious novelties will in due 
time make their appearance. : 
A strong plant of Schomburgkia tibicinis carried a many-flowered tall 
spike. At the end of the central staging are five superb plants of the 
Madagascan Angraecum sesquipedale. They are clothed with dark green 
leaves almost down to the level of the pot. A very remarkable plant is a 
fine specimen of Eria vestita, which is singularly clothed with a thick 
reddish hairiness. The raceme is over a foot long, and bears about twenty- 
five very hairy flowers. It was described by Lindley in 1844 from a plant
