36 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Two good forms of Cypripedium xX Leeanum are sent from the 
collection of F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough, which are 
seedlings raised in the collection. This is, perhaps, the most useful 
hybrid in the genus, and appears to have been raised by many different 
people. A very pretty form of C. venustum is also enclosed. 
A very good form of Cattelya Triane has been sent from the collection 
of John Falconer, Esq., St. Anne’s, Lasswade, Midlothian, in which 
the petals have a large purple blotch at their apex. Thus it comes near 
the variety Ernesti, which is different in some other respects. 
A form of Lelia anceps is also sent, which has broad petals as in the 
variety Dawsoni, though the front lobe of the lip has not the large purple 
blotch of that variety. It appears to be the variety vestalis. 
A handsome flower of Cypripedium xX calanthum is sent from the 
collection of H. Gurney Ages, Esq., Pippbrook, Dorking. It is one of 
Messrs. Veitch’s early hybrids between C. barbatum Warneri ¢@ and 
C. Lowii ¢, and mostly resembles the latter in the flower. 
Two or three mistakes in our two last issues should be pointed out. The 
present possessor of Phalenopsis x Schilleriano-gloriosa (p. 4) is G. F. 
Moore, Esq. (not ‘‘ Bourton”). The date of the Royal Horticultural — 
meeting recorded at p. 374 is November roth (not “‘ 14th”), and the 
inclusion of Cypripedium X Baron Schréder at the last moment in the list 
of complex Cypripedium hybrids makes the numbers given at foot of page 
362 all one too low.

THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
WE have to thank our esteemed correspondents, Reginald Young, Esq., 
and E. H. Woodall, Esq., for their kindly appreciative notes respecting the 
Orchid Review, contributed to our last issue (pp. 8-9), and the former for the 
reminder that the present issue is our Jubileenumber. Those of our readers 
who have followed the work from its commencement, or who are able to 
compare the first issue with the present one, will realise the progress made 
in the comparatively short time which the work has been established. 
There is no need to repeat our original programme, as most of our readers 
are familiar with it, and will be able to judge how far it has been consistently 
followed. And we have the satisfaction of knowing that the work has gained 
for itself a steadily increasing circle of readers wherever Orchids are grown, 
and that our policy is widely appreciated, not only in Great Britain, but on 
the Continent, in the United States, and elsewhere. Each year we have 
received numerous letters to the same effect, probably not intended for 
publication, as those above alluded to certainly were, and we assure all our
