232 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Paphiopedilums; one from P. bellatulum and P. callosum much resembles 
P. Xx Richmanii, and should develop into a good thing; another from 
P. concolor and P. villosum is fairly intermediate in shape and colour, 
and an attractive flower; while the third is P. x Phcebe, derived from 
P. philippinense and P. bellatulum, a very promising thing, with the sepals 
and petals covered with purple dotted lines, on a light yellow ground. A 
fine raceme of Dendrobium calceolare is also sent, in which the flowers 
are deep buff yellow without the dark blotches on the lip. 
A curious form of Cattleya Gaskelliana is sent from the collection of 
Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart., Clare Lawn, East Sheen, in which the sepals 
and petals are irregularly marbled with dark purple on a lighter ground. 
It thus approaches the variety picta, in which, however, the markings are 
arranged more in the shape of streaks and elongated blotches. A similar 
marbling is occasionally found in most of the species of the labiata 
group. 
CYMBIDIUM HUTTONI. 
AFTER a long interval, this very distinct Cymbidium has again appeared in 
cultivation, a plant lately imported from Java having flowered at Kew. It 
was originally introduced from this island by Mr. Henry Hutton, a collector 
for Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, and flowered in the establishment of the 
latter in June, 1867, when it was figured in the Botanical Magazine (t. 5676). 
For many years it seems to have been quite lost sight of, and Messrs. Veitch 
do not even mention it in their Manual. It is, however, a remarkable plant, 
and the remarks originally made by Sir Joseph Hooker, in describing it, 
that it does not much resemble a Cymbidium, and that the very broad 
perianth-segments, and their colour, are unique in the genus, are still 
applicable. It has an oblong, somewhat compressed pseudobulb, bearing 
two very broad leaves at the apex, and a pendulous raceme of about ten large 
fleshy flowers, which turn up ina suberect position from the point of their 
attachment to the rachis. They are about an inch and three-quarters long, 
rather broad, and densely dotted all over with dark, dusky brown, on a light 
yellow ground, the spots becoming more purple and almost suffused towards 
the apex of the petals and lip. Inits broad leaves and general appearance it 
is most allied to C. Devonianum, though in that the pseudobulbs are scarcely 
developed, and four-leaved. Its re-appearance is very interesting. It is 
rather curious that it should have disappeared so completely, for 
Cymbidiums are usually of easy culture, and the present individual seems 
vigorous enough. It will probably require the same treatment as is given 
to other members of the genus.
