72 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
and all would not stand the test of comparison side by side. Still the list is 
better than none at all, and we are glad to find that some of our corres- 
pondents have found it useful. 
Four different forms from the collection of E. A. Bevers, Esq., Broad- 
street, Oxford, include one much like the variety Juno, a light blush flower 
of good shape, with deeper coloured lip; var. rosea, with light lilac-rose 
flowers, very little darker on the lip, and the usual yellow throat; a third 
small paler form, perhaps not fully developed; and a fourth which must be 
considered as about typical. 
A very fine example of the variety rosea comes from the collection of J. 
Bradshaw, Esq., The Grange, Southgate, through Messrs. Hugh Low & Co. 
The petals measure 33 inches long by over 2} inches broad, and the colour 
is beautiful soft rose, nearly uniform throughout with the exception of the 
orange disc. 
From the collection of John Falconer, Esq., St. Ann’s, Lasswade, 
Midlothian, come three very good forms. The first corresponds to the 
variety tricolor, the flower being medium sized, the front lobe of the lip 
bright rose-purple, the disc yellow, the side lobes tinged with blush-pink, and 
the sepals and petals white. A second is near var. Capartiana, having rose- 
pink sepals and petals, with a feather-like darker marking at the apex of the 
latter, and the front of the lip very deep crimson-purple. A third form is 
near var. rosea, but has the sepals and petals of a decidedly lighter shade of 
blush-pink than the lip. It is of medium size, and may not be fully 
developed. 
A large and handsome form comes from the collection of F. Hardy, Esq., 
Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey, which approaches very nearly the variety 
magnifica, the sepals and petals being rosy lilac, the front of the broad lip 
. rich purple-crimson, and the disc deep yellow. 
A well-coloured fairly typical form has also been sent from G. F. 
Moore, Esq., of Bourton-on-the-water, Gloucestershire. 
Two handsome forms have been sent from the collection of R. B. 
Macbean, Esq., St. Mary’s Gate, Lancaster. One approaches the variety 
formosa, having blush pink sepals and petals, a rich rose-majenta lip, and 
the yellow disc a little veined with reddish purple. The form and size is 
excellent. The other was reported upon at page 75. of our last volume, 
and retains its character, but has now reached the normal size. The zone 
of white which separates the yellow throat from the crimson-purple front 
lobe, and paler margin of the side lobes, is a very distinctive feature, and as 
we fail to trace anything like it among named forms, we propose to call it 
var. zonatum. In the blush-pink sepals and petals it closely resembles var. 
Arkleana (supra, IV., p- 81, fig. 5), but the lip is wholly different, as described 
above. It is very beautiful.
