THE ORCHID REVIEW. 319 



A flower of Paphiopedilum Charlesworthii in which the two lateral 



sepals are free, instead of united, is sent from the collection of Mrs. 



Grogan, Slaney Park, Baltinglass (gr. Mr. W. F. Oliver). In other 



respects it is normal, and a good example of this elegant little species. 



A charming form of Odontoglossum crispum is also sent from the same 

 collection, having the sepals and petals prettily tinged with blush pink, 

 and bearing numerous small red-brown spots, which are equally distinct on 

 the back of the segments. It is of good shape, prettily crisped, and 

 should be taken care of, for at present it is a very small plant bearing a 

 single flower. 



A flower of the pretty little Miltonia X Binoti Crawshayana is sent 

 from the collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks. 

 It appeared in a mass of M. Regnellii citrina, and is intermediate between 

 that and M. Candida, having the lip entire, with distinct traces of brown 

 blotches in the sepals and petals. 



A flower of the pretty Laelio-cattleya X Adolphus (L. cinnabarina X 

 C. Aclandiae) is sent from the collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamber- 

 lain, M.P., Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay. Also the fine L.-c. 

 X Magnei (C. granulosa Schofieldiana X L. tenebrosa), and a curious form 

 of Odontoglossum crispum, in which one flower has a large dark blotch on 

 «ach of the sepals, while in the other flower they are clear white. It 

 would be interesting to see what the latter is like next year. 



A pretty form of Paphiopedilum insigne is sent from the collection of 

 Lord Pirbright, Henley Park, Guildford, by Mr. Repton. The green area 

 of the dorsal sepal, instead of being spotted, is mottled and obscurely lined 

 with light brown, forming a striking contrast with the typical form, of 

 which a good flower is also sent. The former bears the varietal name, 

 Lady Pirbright. 



A flower of an extremely fine hybrid Paphiopedilum is sent from the 

 collection of T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester (gr. 

 Mr. Johnson). It is thought to have been derived from P. Rothschildianum 

 and P. Stonei, but the petals are broader than in either of these species, and 

 on careful comparison it seems to be so precisely intermediate between 

 P. Rothschildianum and P. Morganise that we think this represents its actual 

 parentage. We have not seen the foliage, but there is a distinct trace of the 

 horse-shoe shaped staminode of the P. superbiens section of the genus, 

 which is seen in the presence of a pair of acute curved apical teeth. In view 

 of this uncertainty, the question of name stands over for the present.
