34¢ THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NOVEMBER, 1923. 
Wales, a handsome form that has been in cultivation for about thirty 
years. It may be of interest to mention that the unique C. Lawrenceana 
var. Mary Regina is being cultivated in this house on behalf of a client. 
During recent times large numbers of Leliocattleyas have been 
cultivated. There are fine batches of Fazeana, Soulange, Carmencita 
aurea, and Mrs. T. Ward, while other meritorious results are to be seen in 
Dolores, Cornelius, and Gothaurea. Cattleya hybrids are always in 
request, and favourites are seen in Clotho, with its large flowers of fine 
formation, Triumphans, of rich yellow colour, Venus, in varying shades of 
bronze-yellow, Hardyana in both the purple and white petalled varieties, 
as well as Aeneas, with its golden-yellow flowers. _ Brassavola hybrids are 
well represented, and among the specimen plants may be seen Be. Ilene, 
Bc. Enchantress, and several well-known Brassoleliocattleyas, of which 
Blc. Everest is worthy of mention. 
A fine plant of Angraecum Ellisii reminds one of the Rev. W. Ellis, who 
discovered this species in Madagascar during his first journey about the year 
1854. There are also specimen plants of A. eburneum and A. Leonis, the 
latter having leaves like some species of Iris, and caused by the upper 
surfaces on each side of the mid rib cohering to each other, so that the blade 
is brought into a vertical position. Aérides are represented by odoratum 
and virens, and in another part of this house is an interesting little collec- 
tion of Mormodes and Catasetums. Warscewiczella is a genus not often 
represented in present-day collections, which is a circumstance probably 
due to the difficulties experienced in importing them. Mr. Keeling is, 
therefore, a little proud of his plants, which succeed very well in a light 
fibrous compost and include W. Lendyana, W. Wailesiana, and W. 
discolor. Their flowers are exceedingly pretty, and well reward the 
cultivator for any extra care bestowed upon the plants. 
Messrs. Keeling have always taken a special interest in Dendrobiums, 
and at the present time they find that several amateurs are getting keen on 
this genus, as was the case years ago. Dendrobium arachnites has been 
much noticed during the current year, and a nice little batch of it seems at 
home along with members of its own kind. The Australian Dendrobes are 
well represented in the handsome D. Phalenopsis, as well as in the pretty 
D. Kingianum album. There are also many other quaint species, including 
D. senile, sometimes called the old man Orchid on account of its hairy 
nature, D. linguiforme, with its thick leaves of tongue-like formation, and 
D. atro-violaceum, with its attractive purple-spotted flowers. There are 
some strong plants of D. Pierardii, which is always of interest as being one 
of the very first of Indian Dendrobes to be cultivated in Europe. Of the 
hybrids in this section there are many beautiful varieties, and one that 
stands out specially for mention is Dend. King George, a wonderful form
