JuLy, 1916.] THE: ORCHID. REVIEW. 165 
©. Brewii cuprea, which received an Award of Merit at the Chelsea Show, 
in which the flowers are of a nearly uniform shade of coppery orange. 
Another had rather lighter sepals and petals with a red lip. One was 
scarlet red with some orange and brown on the lip. Then came a crimson- 
brown with magenta purple lip, on which were a few white splashes; 
then a dark maroon brown with purple lip; one crimson with a red-purple 
lip, splashed with yellow, and one, just expanding, almost uniform blackish 
purple. In shape much less variation was apparent. Wealso saw Odontioda 
Elsie, obtained by crossing O. Charlesworthii with the other original 
parent, Cochlioda Neetzliana, this having scarlet flowers, with a marked 
return to the Cochlioda grandparent in shape. 
The forms of Odontioda Bradshawie, Patricia, Joan and others made a 
very bright display, and there were some examples of excellent culture, the 
plants bearing large panicles of numerous flowers. A form of O, Red-Cross 
bore an inflorescence of 33 flowers of excellent shape and very rich colour. 
Among the blotched Odontoglossums were many beautiful things, but we 
must be content with mentioning the wide range in shape and in the extent 
and colour of the markings, several very diverse forms being pointed out as 
seedlings from thesame capsule. There were many examples of good 
culture, strong plants with ample panicles of handsome flowers, of the 
highest value for decorative purposes. 
Another group that was making a fine display was the Miltonias, 
particularly forms of M. vexillaria and Bleuana. M. vexillaria Lyoth is a 
charming form, raised from the varieties chelseiensis and memoria G. D. 
Owen, and having well-shaped flowers, with a dark mask at the base of the 
lip, from which extend a number of radiating rosy lines. Some good 
forms of M. Charlesworthii showed variations in depth of colour and in 
the development of the dark butterfly-shaped blotch at the base of the lip. 
Plants with two and three spikes of six and seven flowers were handsome 
objects. A good form of M. Roezlii was noticed, also plants of the richly- 
coloured M. Warscewiczii, with some of its hybrids, which are being raised 
with success. Plants of Odontonia Lairessez, from the latter and Odonto- 
glossum crispum, carried ample panicles of flowers, and there were two 
examples of the beautiful light yellow O. Magali-Sander xanthotes, the history 
of which and a figure are given at page 169. Some interesting seedlings 
were pointed out, but of these we may defer further mention until they flower, 
some of them probably in the near future. 
At the lightest end of one of the Cool houses a batch of healthy seedlings 
of Disa grandiflora was pointed out, these having been obtained from a 
good variety with the object of obtaining plants with stronger constitution 
if possible, in which respect at all events there is room for improvement. 
D. Luna was in bloom, and a seedling of D. Blackii was just opening, this
