72 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [Marca 
Protheroe & Morris, on April 16th and two following days. The collecti 
is well known for its quality, and the excellent culture of the plants, ¥ it 
have repeatedly gained honours from the Manchester Orchid Society. : 
is also familiar to our readers from the notes which have appeared in 
pages from time to time, Mr. Wrigley having been one of our oldest a 
most enthusiastic correspondents. 
Two errors crept into recent issues which were not noticed ee 
proofs, and should be corrected. Mr. O. O. Wrigley died on October 1 
not November, as stated at p. 250 of the Nov.-Dec. issue. And the cn 
presentation of the Duke of Bedford’s Orchid collection to Kew was ¥ 
not 1884, as given at p. 22 by a typographical error. 
Flowers of two varieties of Cymbidium insignigrinum are sent i a 
collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., Northside, Leigh Woods, Bi " 
by Mr. Walker. The seed, obtained from C. insigne X tigrinum,- 
sown on March r4th, 1914, and in February, 1917, two spikes app@ 
with five and six flowers, which strikes us as a very quick 7 
Cymbidium. This year the plant has two spikes with twelve ané 
flowers, while a second plant has two spikes of five flowers each. 3 
colour and markings of C. insigne come out very strongly on the lip, W 
in other respects the flowers are fairly intermediate.
