THE ORCHID REVIEW. 189 
Andersonianum Ruckerianum, a nicely tinted form, bearing largish blotches 
on the sepals and petals, the other a bright yellow, regularly blotched form 
6h20.. X Denisonz (Wilckeanum), which should develop into a good 
thing. 
Several good Odontoglossums are sent from the collection of T. Baxter, 
Esq., of Morecambe, by Mr. Roberts, and include good forms of O. 
_ Pescatorei, crispum, and a dark luteopurpureum, with a few interesting | 
hybrids, which exhibit the usual amount of polymorphism, so much, indeed, 
that one or two can scarcely be identified with certainty. A form of O. x 
Coradinei has a rather broad, short lip, showed a well marked crispum 
influence, and a very regularly blotched form of O. x Andersonianum 
has very little of the acuminate shape so common in that hybrid. The 
others area form of O. x Denisone, a very yellow form of O. x Adriane, and 
what may be a very small O. luteopurpureum ora form of O. X mulus showing 
but little of the gloriosum character in the lip. Flowers of the charming 
Dendrobium Devonianum are are enclosed. 
Two splendid Lelio-cattleyas are sent from the collection of Sir 
Frederick Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen, by Mr. Young. L.-c. xX 
callistoglossa is a massive flower of over nine inches in diameter across the 
petals, and the lip very richly coloured, and L.-c. x Henry Greenwood is 
a richly-coloured form derived from L.-c. x Schilleriana and Cattleya x 
Hardyana, which is further interesting because both parents are themselves 
of hybrid origin. It most resembles the pollen parent in general character. 
EPIDENDRUM PURPURACHYLUM. 
ANOTHER Brazilian Epidendrum has appeared in cultivation, which was 
previously only known from description and a drawing by M. Barbosa 
Rodrigues. A plant, which was said to have been received with Lelia 
Jongheana, has just flowered with Mr. F. W. Moore, at Glasnevin, and, on 
comparison, proves to be E. purpurachylum, described in 1877 (Rodr. Gen. 
et Sp. Orch. nov., i., p. 49.) The author gives the habitat as Queimados 
and Parahyba do Sol, in the province of Rio de Janeiro, where it grows on 
trees of Mimosez and Myrtacez, while the present individual appears to’ 
have come from the neighbouring province of Minas Geraes. It belongs to 
the Encyclium group, and approaches E. selligerum in many respects. The 
sepals and petals are dull olive green, tinged with brown, and the 
corrugated front lobe of the lip is deep purple with a broad, whitish-yellow 
margin. The flowers are very fragrant, not unlike violets. Its appearance 
is interesting, as our knowledge of this section of the genus is still very 
imperfect.
