June, 1916.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 139 
The Cattleyas and allies were in thriving condition, and among those in 
bloom were several good Cattleya Mossie, one of them being marked by 
the immense size of the flowers and another by the very richly-coloured lip, 
a nice example of C. Dusseldorfii Undine, C. citrina, several good forms of 
Lelia purpurata, a promising batch of Leeliocattleya Ganymede X Lelia 
tenebrosa just beginning to bloom, the first having bronzy sepals and petals 
and the lip bright purple in front with a yellow throat, and other good 
things. The majority flower later, and promise a good display in the 
summer and autumn. Among other things we noted two plants of the 
orange-coloured Epidendrum Boundii, the brilliant Renanthera Imschoot- 
iana, Chysis bractescens, two plants of the dwarf Epiphronitis Veitchii, a 
good Dendrobium Dcarei, Phalanopsis amabilis with two side branches to 
the inflorescence, and others, while a number of plump Cattleya pods told 
of interesting hybridising experiments in progress. 
Many interesting batches of seedlings in various stages were pointed 
out, some of them as tiny green globules on their pots of prepared compost, 
and others in various stages up to flowering size, and all with the parentage 
carefully recorded. A batch of seedlings of Sophronitis grandiflora X 
Brassocattleya Leemaniz, about four years old, was examined with interest, 
for such a cross might well produce something out of the common. Two 
of the bulbs we noted were two-leaved. Cattleya O’Brieniana alba X 
Brassocattleya Leemaniz was germinating freely, also Cattleya Dowiana 
aurea X Brassocattleya Menda. Some promising albino crosses have also 
been made, but we will not attempt to enumerate them. 
A few fine varieties in the collection may be mentioned, but an attempt 
to ennumerate them would require too much space. Among Cattleyas we 
noted such sterling forms as C. Warscewiczii Frau Melanie Beyrodt, C. 
Hardyana Countess of Derby, C. Empress Frederick alba, C. Gaskelliana 
alba, C. Comet var. Princess Mary, C. Mossie Reineckeana and Wageneri, 
C. Lueddemanniana Stanleyi, the varieties of C. Trianiz known as Premier, 
Reine des Belges, Goliath, and De Barri Crawshay, and a series of beautiful 
varieties of C. labiata, white and coloured. Sophrocattleya Doris, Sophro- 
catlelia Pandora and De Vere Beauclerk, were also pointed out, with 
Brassocatlzlia Veitchii var. Queen Alexandra, Bc. Cliftonii The Globe, Bc. 
Bradshawiz and Menda, Lzliocattleya George- Woodhams, Maqueda, St.- 
Gothard, Gottoiana regalis, good forms of callistoglossa, Canhamiana, and 
others. The plants of Epiphronitis Veitchii are suspended in a light airy 
position in one of the small Cattleya houses, and are in thriving condition. 
Cypripedium Rossetti, and a nice healthy batch of good-sized C. insigne 
Sanderz were pointed out, but very few of this genus are grown. We 
noted also several healthy plants of Angraecum sesquipedale, Vanda Sander- 
jana, and several healthy specimens of the V. tricolor section. V. coerulea
