[THE ORCHID REVIEW. | 159. 
A seedling Paphiopedilum, sent from the collection of H. J. Ross, Esq., 
of Florence, much resembles P. X orphanum, but from its very long scape it 
is thought P. Lawrenceanum and P. Druryi were the parents. The point 
may be cleared up hereafter. 
An exceptionally fine specimen of Epidendrum Medusz, in the collection 
of J. Buchanan, Esq., Oswald House, Edinburgh, is mentioned in a recent 
- number of the Gardeners’ Magazine (p. 132). It is in a basket two feet 
square, and hangs in a cool] house, near a ventilator that is almost always 
open, even in frosty weather. Two other plants are only slightly smaller. 
An exceptionally fine and richly coloured form of Cattleya Trianz, with 
a feathered blotch at the apex of the petals, is sent from the establishment 
of Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park. It is now in the collection of 
J. Bradshaw, Iisq., of Southgate. Another very charming variety, called 
Empress of India, is also sent, having pure white sepals and petals of 
excellent shape, and the front of the lip of a beautiful purple shade. 
A seedling Paphiopedilum derived from P. X nitens X venustum is sent 
from the collection of R. le Doux, Esq., Marlfield, West Derby, Liverpool, 
by Mr. Archer. It is fairly intermediate in character, and approaches P. 
x Crossianum in general character. 
A spike of the beautiful Diacrium bicornutum is also enclosed, one of 
twelve now borne by the plant- 
_ A very distinct variety of Phaius Wallichii is sent from the collection of 
J. S. Womack, Esq., Taplow Grange, Bucks, in which the sepals and petals 
are light yellow in colour, and the front of the lip still paler. It may be 
called P. W. flavescens. The spike bore nine flowers. 
A plant of the pretty little Odontoglossum X stauroides, Rchb. f., has 
flowered in the collection of J. Wilson Potter, Esq., of Croydon, out of a 
batch of imported O. Pescatorei. O. Lindleyanum is the other parent, and 
its history may be found at page 141 of our second volume.
