35o THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



Two beautiful flowers of Dendrobium Phalamopsis are sent from the 

 collection of Lord Pirbright, Henley Park, Guildford, by Mr. Repton. 

 The first is a large, light-coloured, but otherwise fairly typical form, with 

 the petals over ij inches broad, and the other, called variety Pearl, is 

 rather smaller, and blush white, with light purple veining on the disc and 

 side lobes of the lip. It is a very charming variety, and the plant is said to 

 be small and weak at present. 



A richly-coloured form of Cymbidium giganteum is sent by M. Fl. 

 •Claes, Etterbeek, Brussels. 



An inflorescence of the charming Dendrobium Phalaenopsis hololeucum 

 is sent from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by 

 Mr. Rogers. It is a true albino, being pure white throughout, with only a 

 tinge of pale sulphur on the disc. One inflorescence produced by the 

 plant had nine flowers. Inflorescences of D. formosum and D. f. 

 giganteum are also sent, the latter being a massive form with petals two 

 inches broad. This is now flowering for the fifth consecutive year in the 

 collection, and the species is said to have been again very fine this season.
