D. Sipyt, the flower on the left (fig. 12), was raised in the collection of 
‘N.C. Cookson, Esq., and received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. in 
March, 1893, and a First-class Certificate a year later. The parentage was 
recorded as D. Linawianum x bigibbum, but this was always doubtful, 
and Messrs. Armstrong & Brown have since raised it from D. crassinode 
and D. Linawianum (O.R., xix. p. 113). The flower is of a pretty rosy 
shade, with two small spots on the paler disc of the lip. 
D. Wicani#, the upper flower on the right (fig. 13), was raised in the 
-collection of Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart., from D. nobile x signatum, and 
‘flowered in March, 1896. The flowers are light buff, with two maroon 
blotches on the disc of the lip. Shortly afterwards it was raised by Messrs. 
Veitch and by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart. 
D. CHLOROSTELE VAR. OWENIANUM, represented by two flowers below 
‘the centre (fig. 14), was raised by N. C. Cookson, Esq., from D. Linawianum 
x Wardianum, flowering in 1891, and receiving a First-class Certificate 
from the R.H.S. in February, 1893. The flowers are blush pink, tipped 
with rosy purple, and the disc of the lip maroon. 
D. MRLANODISCUS VAR. PALLENS, the lower right hand flower (fig. 15), 
‘was raised by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., from D. Ainsworthii and D. 
Findlayanum, and was one of a very varied batch of seedlings. It received 
an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. in February, 1896. The flowers are 
blush white, flushed with rose on the disc of the lip.

ENRY WHATELEY.—It is with much regret that we record the 
death, on Saturday, December 18th, after an illness of fifteen months 
duration, of Mr. H. Whateley, of Spring Gardens and Priory Lawn, Kenil- 
worth. Mr. Whateley has long been know as a grower of fruit and flowers 
for market, and Orchids and Carnations were among his favourites. In 
the spring of 1885, after having been previously engaged with his father, he 
took the small nursery at Spring Lane, Kenilworth, and succeeded in 
developing an important business, the glass-houses covering an area of 
about six and a halfacres. Latterley he had to relinquish some of his 
activities, and had made over the Orchid business to his eldest son, who 
now succeeds him in the management of the nursery. We do not remember 
Mr. Whateley as a recent exhibitor, but in April, 1896, he received an 
Award of Merit from the R.H.S. for Odontoglossum crispum Whateley®, 
a beautiful white form, profusely and regularly spotted with purple. For 
many years he has been a subscriber to the Orchid Review. He leaves 2 
widow, three sons, and three daughters.
