158 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
A fine group of white forms of Lzlia anceps in Mr. J. Cypher’s nursery, 
at Cheltenham, is figured in The Garden for March 31st (page 241). 
The March issue of the Dictionnaire Iconographique des Orchidées con- 
tains figures of Aéranthus grandiflorus, Cattleya Bowringiana, C. X Bow- 
ringiano-labiata, Cypripedium Chamberlainianum, C. X aureum var. 
(Edipe, Lelia Perrinii and vars. irrorata and alba, L. x leucoptera, Lzlio- 
cattleya Xx elegans var. blenheimensis, Masdevallia tovarensis, Miltonia 
Regnellii and var. citrina, and M. X Cogniauxie. The latter is an inter- 
esting and beautiful natural hybrid derived from M. spectablis Moreliana 
and M. Regnellii. 
A beautiful photograph is sent by O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, 
Bury, showing three plants of Dendrobium Wardianum, selected from a 
group shown at a recent meeting of the Manchester Orchid Society. 
The centre plant is a very compact and handsome one, bearing about 172 
flowers on nine growths. A growth on another plant measures 39 inches 
long, and bears 37 flowers. They are not newly imported plants, but have 
been in the collection two seasons (see notes at pages 69 and 127). 
Mr. T. L. Mead, of Florida, has a seedling Dendrobium x Niobe 
just about to open, apparently a good dark form. The parents were a 
dark D. nobile and D. tortile roseum, and the séed was sown in 1895. 
Some interesting notes respecting Mr. Mead’s seedlings have previously 
appeared in our pages. 
Since Lycaste X Janetz (Skinneri ? xX Rossiana ¢) was described, 
from the collection of H. J. Ross, Esq., of Florence (ante, vii., p. 360), 
three other seedlings from the same capsule have flowered, one of which 
is now sent, and approaches much nearer to L. Skinneri, the sepals and 
petals being dotted all over with rose, while the lip is yellow with dark 
crimson markings at the base, and a few hairs. In fact it is fairly inter- 
mediate. A second is nearer the original, and a third has still more of the 
Rossiana character. 
A superb form of Dendrobium Wardianum from the collection of 
F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough, measures over five inches in 
diameter across the petals, and the lip is over 14 inches broad and rather © 
flat. Curiously enough, it has three perfect anthers, side by side, each 
containing perfect pollinia, the additional pair being transformed column 
wings. A fine form of Odontoglossum luteopurpureum is also sent. 
A very fine form of Dendrobium Wardianum is sent from the collection 
of Frau Ida Brandt, of Zurich, which measures nearly five inches across its 
broadest diameter, and the petals are 1 inches broad.
