THE ORCHID REVIEW. 179 
and others being in flower, examples of the brilliant little Sophronitis 
grandiflora, some old plants of Cattleya citrina still thriving, two being 
in flower, Epidendrum vitellinum not yet expanded, and a finely-flowered 
example of Oncidium cucullatum. Lelia grandiflora (majalis) also succeeds 
well here suspended near the roof, and has been cultivated for years. 
Some trouble has been experienced in getting Disa grandiflora to grow well, 
but some plants, stood on large pans of sand and kept constantly moist, were 
in thriving condition. 
The Dendrobium house contained some interesting things, as D. nobile 
nobilius, D. lituiflorum, well-flowered examples of D. fimbriatum, three 
beautiful examples of the charming little D. Loddigesii crowded with buds, 
which have flowered well for the last ten years, D. Wardianum, D. crassinode, 
D. crepidatum, D. agegregatum, &c., together with Vanda teres, 
Saccolabium ampullaceum, Angraecum Leonis, and Chysis_ bractescens. 
A seedling from Dendrobium xX Ainsworthii Leechianum ¢? and D. 
Wardianum ¢ had passed out of flower. 
In an adjoining Cattleya house we noticed three fine specimens ua 
Dendrobium infundibulum flowering very freely. One of them had fourteen 
flowering bulbs, the best of which carried seven flowers, forming quite a 
picture.: There were also nice examples of Miltonia Phalznopsis, M. 
vexillaria, in bud, Lycaste Skinneri, and Cattleya Schroeder, together with 
various other things not yet in flower. 
A warm house contained a nice collection of Phalanopsis obtained from 
the Philippines, where.indeed they were cultivated until the war broke out 
there, and now getting nicely established. Here we noticed in flower 
examples of Miltonia Roezlii, a fine Phaius Wallichii, and various. good 
Paphiopedilums, as Mastersianum, barbatum, the beautiful . callosum 
Sandere, not quite expanded, purpuratum, concolor, Hooker, Lawrenc- 
eanum, Sanderianum producing a fine spike, x Germinyanum, Rothschild- 
ianum, altogether making a.brilliant display. Eulophiella. Elisabethe was 
carrying a young pod which was remarkable for being of a porcelaine colour, 
with purple angles. This and the Phaius had been crossed and re-crossed, 
and it will be interesting to watch the result. 
The collection contains many hybrid seedlings in thriving condition, 
and in this connection it is interesting to note the progress made in six 
years, since our former notes were made (ante, ii, pp. 195-7). Some of the 
seedlings are from very promising crosses, but we did not take special notes 
of them. One plant, however, we feel a special interest in, as it is said 
to be the result of an experiment mentioned in our former notes 
‘(Cypripedium philippinense x niveum), and it should soon reach the 
flowering condition. 
Dr. Hodgkinson finds the Sines of these plants a delightful hobby,
