100 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
CG@LOGYNE CRISTATA is now flowering to perfection, and a beautiful inflor- 
escence of the chaste albino, C. c. alba, comes from the collection of J. W. 
Arkle, Esq., West Derby, Liverpool, also fine inflorescenses of Dendrobium 
albosanguineum and D. atroviolaceum. Mr. Arkle remarks that the latter 
succeeds very well with him, though some people give it a bad reputation. 
Being a native of New Guinea, it requires rather different treatment from 
the deciduous species, which, perhaps, accounts for the difficulty in some 
cases. The species of this affinity should not be rested in a cool house. 
A large, rose-pink form of Cattleya Trianz, with broad petals, is sent 
from the collection of Mrs. Hollond, Wonham, Bampton, N. Devon. The 
lip is rather brighter in colour, but is not well expanded in front, a fault to 
which the species seems rather liable. 
Two handsome flowers, which each received an Award of Merit from the 
Manchester Orchid Society on February 22nd last, are sent from the 
collection of T. Baxter, Esq., of Morecambe, by Mr. Roberts. Odonto- 
glossum crispum Lady Roberts is a large, light blush, unspotted form, of 
perfect shape, having the sepals more strongly tinged with rose than the 
rest of the flower. O. xX Andersonianum Oakfield variety is a large and 
richly-spotted form, with long segments of good breadth, the flower 
measuring four inches across its broadest diameter. 
Other flowers from the same collection, received subsequently, include 
O. X Andersonianum Baden-Powell, a well-spotted form with long 
acuminate segments, which received an Award of Merit at Manchester on 
March 8th; O. triumphans, the pretty little O. facetum, a dark form of O. 
X Denisonz, and several good forms of O. crispum. One of the latter has 
blush flowers with a very large, dark red-purple blotch in front of the lip’s 
crest, a second is a good dark O.c. roseum, and others are large, well- 
shaped, unspotted forms of this beautiful species, of which Mr. Baxter has 
now such a fine collection. 
Paphiopedilums continue to make a fine show, and among some good 
flowers which we have received may be mentioned a flower of P. X 
cenanthum with two well-developed lateral sepals, which seem to be more — 
spotted than usual. The other parts are very highly coloured, but one of 
the petals is only half as broad as usual. P. x Belus, in two very distinct 
forms, comes from the collection of Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, 
Liverpool. Both also differ from the original one, being much richer in 
colour, and thus the colour of P. x Harrisianum has come out better, 
while the general shape of P. Mastersianum, the pollen parent, is still re- 
tained. 
A seedling P. x calloso-barbatum is also sent from the collection 
of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-mare. It was raised from P.
