May, 1914.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 157 
¥ 
EVERAL beautiful hybrids have been sent from the collection of Sir 
Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Reigate, by Mr. Collier. 
D. plumosum (Cybele X signatum aureum) has retained most of the D. 
Cybele character, and all the segments are tipped with rose-purple, while 
the narrow disc of the lip is surrounded by a zone of deep yellow. D. 
Eleanor (Findlayanum X Rubens var. Othello) is a very fine light rosy 
flower, with an exceptionally broad maroon disc to the lip, while the variety 
Rosy Queen, from the reverse cross, is a little brighter in colour and the 
DENDROBIUMS FROM GATTON PARK, REIGATE. q| 
disc of the lip is barely half as large and bright maroon in colour. D. 
Bartelsianum (Wiganiza X Wiganianum Gatton Park var.) is a charming 
blush white flower with two light rosy blotches on the lip’s disc. D. 
Boundii var. Mrs. Alfred Rogers (Findlayanum xX Hildebrandii) has rather 
narrow white sepals and petals, and the disc of the lip light yellow. D. 
Princess Patricia of Connaught (Wiganianum purpureum X Rubens) has 
light rose sepals and petals, and the front of the lip bright rose-purple. 
D. Phryne (Eva X signatum aureum) has buff yellow flowers of good shape, 
with a dark maroon zone in the throat of the lip, and recalls some form of 
D. Wiganiz. Lastly may be mentioned two beautiful forms of D. Rubens, 
called rubescens, with uniformly light rose sepals and petals and a dark 
maroon disc to the lip, and Gatton Purple, not quite so dark and with 
a smaller maroon disc. 
ees OBITUARY. A 
ENRY LITTLE.—This old and much-esteemed Orchidist passed away 
at his residence, Baronshalt, Twickenham, on April 14th, at the age’ 
of 81 years. Mr. Little was for many years a keen Orchidist, and we have: 
Several times had the pleasure of seeing his collection, in which Cattleyas, 
Cypripediums, Lycastes, and many other showy Orchids were well 
Tepresented. Among his favourites may be mentioned the varieties of 
Lelia purpurata and Leliocattleya elegans. About three years ago, owing. 
to failing health, he disposed of his collection, previous to which time he 
had been a subscriber to the Orchid Review from the commencement. For 
some years he was a member of the R.H.S. Orchid Committee. He was 
also much interested in photography, and we may mention that the two 
Stoups of certificated Odontoglossums figured at pp. 241, 305 of our second 
volume, were kindly taken by him for us. They now form a very interesting 
memento of his work. His name is commemorated in Cypripedium 
Littleanum (O.R., iii. p. 209, fig. 8), a natural hybrid between C- 
Lawrenceanum and C. Dayanum from his collection.
