294 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
of the old Cypripedium insigne, which is, I think, the most easily grown of 
all Orchids, and emphatically a plant for a beginner, as with ordinary care 
it is scarcely possible to go wrong with it. I also remember Cattleya 
Forbesii and a good C. Loddigesii, together with Miltonia Clowesii and 
candida, with a couple of nice examples of Lelia pumila. I think there 
were also Oncidium Forbesii and O. varicosum, certainly O. sphacelatum, 
and there were a few others whose names I have now forgotten. Nota. 
large lot, perhaps, as things go to-day, but not less highly prized. At all 
events, we spent some time in admiring them, and in looking through the 
collection and noting those which promised to bloom in the near future.

CATTLEYA x RESPLENDENS. 
TAKE a Cattleya granulosa and give it flowers of Cattleya Schilleriana, the 
long sepals being placed as in the first, and the very narrow long petals 
much undulated, then you have this plant. The dull olive-brown sepals 
and petals have thinly-scattered purple spots, and remind one of Cattleya 
guttata Leopoldi. The lip is fine white, with warm amethyst keels and 
small warts of the same colour. The cuneate bilobed stalked mid-lacinia 
has numerous rough warts in the middle and many keels on the lateral 
parts, which, of course, are externally toothletted. The side laciniz are 
much developed and very acuminate. 
There is scarcely a year in which Mr. Stuart Low has not puzzled us 
with the Cattleya intricata, and now comes again such an individual which, 
finding no place anywhere under the known species, must get a proper 
name. Mr. S. Low and his staff think it a mule between Cattleya granulosa 
and Cattleya Schilleriana, and they may most probably be right.—Rchb. f. 
in Gard. Ghron., 1885, xxiii., p. 692. : 
Does anyone know what this plant is, or what has become of it ?

ODONTOGLOSSUM TRIUMPHANS.—In connection with the question dis- 
cussed more than once in these columns whether Odontoglossum triumphans 
and O. crispum ever grow together, it is interesting to note a remark made 
by Messrs. Veitch :—<‘ Kalbreyer also informs us that an Odontoglossum 
very much like O. triumphans, if not the same, is occasionally found with 
O. crispum on the Cordillera east of Bogota.”—Man. Oreh., 1., p. 69.
