698 THE ORCAID REVIEW. 
after comparison’ with the figure in Flore des Serres (t. 1769-70), the same 
remark must be made. 
It is only fair to infer that the artist has been equally successful with the 
other plant, and, if so, it is a very distinct and remarkable plant. It differs 
from both the others in having acuminate sepals and petals, and a branching 
raceme (the drawing shows five side branches and about thirty flowers). 
The lip is three-lobed and the obcordate front lobe is well spotted with red- | 
brown, and bears three yellow keels at the base. In other respects it is 
most like E. Peetersiana in habit, though the leaves are narrower and the 
flowers smaller. Should the name E. Hamelinii not have been published 
prior to that of E. Peetersiana—as is believed—it is untenable for the latter, 
and I therefore propose to transfer it to the present novelty, as the only 
possible recognition of a name that will always be inseparable from the 
history of this remarkable genus. It is probable that a note by 
*“ A.E.P.G. ” of “another species which is supposed to be yet undetermined, 
bearing rather large white flowers” (O. R., vii., p. 258), refers to the | 
present one.

ORCHIDS AT WALTON GRANGE. 
THE Odontoglossums at Walton Grange, Stone, the residence of W. 
Thompson, Esq., are well known for their quality and cultural excellence, 
and a few notes respecting them which were made during a recent visit will 
doubtless prove interesting. A fuller account of the collection was given 
in our second volume (pp. 243-245), and it may be noted that since then a 
good many things have been disposed of, in order to give increased 
accommodation to the Odontoglossums, and a few other things which 
can be cultivated with them. 
At the time of our visit there was a very fine display of bloom in which 
the forms of O. crispum, Pescatorei, triumphans, luteopurpureum, Rossii, 
Cervantesii, Hallii, polyxanthum, X Andersonianum, X Wilckeanum, X 
Coradinei, and others, were intermixed with some fine examples of Ada 
aurantiaca, Cochhoda Neetzliana, Miltonia vexillaria, and Oncidium 
sarcodes, in a most effective manner. Among the forms more particularly 
noted we may first mention three or four examples of O. harvengtense, 
varying between themselves, which seems most allied to O. triumphans in 
general character, and may be a local form of the same. Two forms of O. 
x Andersonianum were very striking, one having very broad segments, but 
typical in other respects, and the other very richly marked on each segment. 
O. crispum was represented by many choice examples, and among them 
were O. c. Victoria-Regina and The Earl, which a few days later received
