THE ORCHID REVIEW. ac aS 
A very fine flower of Odontoglossum luteopurpureum radiatum is sent 
from the collection of M. Jules Hye-Leysen, of Ghent. The peculiarity 
of this variety is the broad, much dilated front lobe of the lip, which, 
in the example sent, is particularly well marked. The spike bears ten 
flowers. ci 
Flowers of the remarkable Cattleya Mendelii Janus are again sent by 
Mr. C. C. Hurst, F.L.S., of Hinckley, which show that the plant maintains 
its sportive character. Some of the flowers are again without lips, and 
others have this organ present, with the front lobe very brilliantly coloured: 
The contrast between the two is very striking. 
_ An inflorescence from the collection of D. M. Grimsdale, Esq., Kent 
Lodge, Uxbridge, shows a similar character, one flower being normal and 
the other lipless. 
VANDA TERES. 
A PHOTOGRAPH showing a good branched plant of Vanda teres from the 
collection of Dr. Cranstoun, Broad Street, Ludlow, is sent by Mr. Godfrey, | 
together with a fine inflorescence. The plant has been grown on from a single 
piece about a foot long, which was obtained by Dr. Cranstoun about five years 
where it gets plenty of sunshine 
ago, and has since been grown in the stove, 
d repotted, having become rather 
and moisture. Last year it was cut down an 
too tall, and it is now a compact plant about two feet high, bearing five or 
six racemes. Mr. Godfrey remarks that the plant is sprayed three or four 
times a day to encourage the aérial roots to grow, and that slight shading 
is used. Some growers experience a difficulty in growing and flowering 
this species, but it probably arises from being placed in an unsuitable 
situation, but we believe that the secret is to obtain sturdy, well-ripened 
growths, for which plenty of light and sunshine is essential.
