126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (APRIL, 1914. 
ie 
HE iast issue of the Kew Bulletin contains an interesting list of Orchids 
which flowered in the collection last year, compiled by Mr. C. P. 
Raffill. The author remarks :— 
“‘ The collection of Orchids cultivated under glass is well-known for its 
richness in types and for the large number of rare and little-known species 
it contains. The year 1913 has been remarkable on account of the large 
number of species, belonging to 137 distinct genera, which have flowered 
in the collection. A careful record has been kept of each plant 
which has flowered during the year, and from this we find that the only 
plant of Cirrhopetalum Mastersianum has flowered on six occasions, 
Dendrocolla Pricei, a new species, and Kefersteinia graminea on three, and 
quite a number of other plants have flowered twice during the year. A few 
fine specimen plants have also flowered profusely, the best of the:e being: 
Eria hyacinthoides with 34 racemes, Eulophiella Elisabethe with 11 
racemes, Vanda suavis with 14 racemes, Ccelia macrostachya with 6 
racemes, Pleurothallis Roezlii with 31 racemes, and Miltonia candida with 
32 racemes, bearing 274 flowers. Lycaste Deppei bore 54 flowers; L. 
gigantea 16 flowers; Cirrhopetalum robustum 7 umbels of flowers, and 
Cattleya Portia had an inflorescence of 13 flowers.”’ 
ORCHIDS FLOWERED AT KEW IN 1913. 
The list is much too long to repeat, occupying nearly four pages. It 
includes all the genera that have flowered during the year, but only those 
species are mentioned which have been exceptionally fine or which are of 
particular interest on account of their rarity. 
BeyseX ORCHIDS IN SEASON. Zaiy 
+ FLOWER of another form of Leeliocattleya Swanboroughii (see page 
58) is sent from the collection of Mrs. Sheppee, Holly Spring; 
Bracknell. In this case the yellow of the L.-c. Andromeda parent is 
much more pronounced, especially in the large amount of yellow on the 
lip. Mr. Swanborough remarks that it is another seedling from the same 
batch, and quite similar to the first in habit, but entirely different in shape 
and colour. It will be interesting to watch the development of the batch. 
A flower of the handsome Odontoglossum waltonense Rosslyn vat. is 
sent from the collection of H. T. Pitt; Esq... Rosslyn, Stamford Hill, by 
Mr. Thurgood. It has deep yellow flowers, with brown blotching on the 
sepals and lip, but the petals entirely unspotted. Lzeeliocattleya Ophir 
Rosslyn var. isa handsome deep yellow variety with a little purple on the 
front of the lip. Three Cypripedium seedlings are also enclosed. ©
