314 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
consisted of a single stem with about two dozen leaves, and deservedly 
received a Cultural Commendation. 
Leopold de Rothschild, Esq., Gunnersbury House, Acton (gr. Mr. 
Hudson), sent a very interesting specimen of Dendrobium formosum 
giganteum, with several seedlings round it, one of which was in flower. 
The original plant was imported in 1897, and some seed which was among 
the roots germinated, and the seedlings have steadily grown on until reaching 
the flowing stage—a circumstance which says much for the excellent culture 
of the plant, and which was recognized by the Award of a Cultural 
Commendation. 
J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, S. Woodford (gr. Mr. Davis), sent 
a finely-grown specimen of Cattleya bicolor called Glebelands variety, 
bearing eleven fine spikes of flowers, large in size, and having a white 
margin to the lip. It received an Award of Merit. | 
_ Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. Mr. Murray), 
sent a handsome inflorescence of Cypripedium Xx Morganize Oakwood 
variety, and one of an unrecorded seedling, possibly descended from C. 
Boxallii and C. X Leeanum. 
De Barri Crawsay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks (gr. Mr. Cooke), sent @ 
specially interesting exhibit, in the shape of two seedling Odontoglossums 
raised in the-collection. O. X Wattianum Crawshayanum was obtained by 
crossing O. Lindleyanum with the pollen of O. Harryanum, and this clears 
up the origin of a much-disputed plant. It differs from the wild plant in 
having relatively shorter and less acuminate segments, and a much broader 
lip, with the ground colour wholly yellow and the central blotch very large- 
The other was O. X Cooksoni var. roseum (Hallii ¢ X crispum lilacinum 
3), cream yellow, blotched with dark brown, but differing from the two 
earlier seedlings of the same batch in having a tinge of rose on the back of 
the sepals. 
Captain Holford, Westonbirt, Tetbury (gr. Mr. Chapman), sent 4 
remarkable spike of Cattleya Dowiana bearing three differently-coloured 
flowers. One had the lip veined throughout except at the margin, the 
second had a yellow disc, and the third had a darker middle area which 
partially obliterated the yellow veining. 
Major Joicey, Sunningdale Park (gr. Mr. Thorne), showed a fine plant of 
Dendrobium taurinum amboinense, bearing three racemes, the flowers 
being much lighter in colour than those of the typical form. He also sent 
an inflorescence of the handsome Pescatorea Klabochorum bearing two 
flowers, a character which we have not previously met with. 
K. 4. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (gr. Mr. Chapman), 
spa Cypripedium x Unxia (Harrisianum xX Lawrebel), a fine hybrid most 
like the seed parent, with a rich purple tint over most of the flower, and
