98 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
A very fine Lycaste Skinneri alba is sent from the collection of Hamar 
Bass, Esq., Byrkley, Burton-on-Trent, by Mr. Hamilton, in which the 
lateral sepals are over two inches broad, and the other parts of corresponding 
dimensions. A light Cattleya Schcedere enclosed shows equal luxuriance, 
as one of the petals measures fully three inches in diameter. These facts 
indicate the excellence of the system of culture adopted. The beautiful 
albino Dendrobium nobile Ballianum is also sent. 
A very pretty light form of C. Triane is sent from the collection of 
Alfred Darby, Esq., Little Ness, Shrewsbury, which is almost, or quite, the 
variety pallida, the flower being uniform light blush, except the orangé disc. 
The plant is a good-sized one, and bears a dozen blooms, thus being very 
effective. A second light form enclosed has more colour on the front of the 
lip, but we do not quite recognise it. 
A raceme of the beautiful Odontoglossum crispum roseum comes from 
the collection of D. M. Grimsdale, Esq., Kent Lodge, Uxbridge. The 
sepals and petals are rose-pink, the former being the darker of the two, the 
lip alone having a few small brown spots round the disc. The shape is very 
good, and the petals toothed. 
A fine flower of Cypripedium Rothschildianum is sent by Mrs. Barton, 
Little Silver, High Bickington, N. Devon, from a newly-imported plant, 
together with a photograph of the plant, showing the three-flowered raceme, 
and a second one of two buds. The dorsal sepal is over 27 inches broad. 
A flower of C. Victoria-Mariz is also sent, showing how distinct it is 
from C. Chamberlainianum, in its differently-shaped lip, different colour, 
and more robust habit. A small flower of C. insigne is also sent, the first 
after importation, in which the petals bear numerous small spots, almost to 
the apex, so that its future behaviour will be watched with interest. 
A flower of the beautiful Odontoglossum x Coradinei, Rosefield variety, 
has been sent from the collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, 
Sevenoaks. It is remarkable for having a large chestnut blotch above the 
middle of each petal, as well as on the sepals, the latter having one or more 
smaller ones near the base. It received an Award of Merit on March 24th, 
1896 
A very beautiful form of O. X Andersonianum is also enclosed, both 
sepals and petals bearing many deep red-brown spots, those of the latter 
being smaller and more numerous. The ground colour is also lightly 
suffused with rosy-purple, more especially on the sepals.
