~THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
VoL. V.] JUNE, 1897. [No. 54. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, James’ Street, Westminster, during June, on the 15th and oth, 
respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 
o’clock, noon. 
We have received from Messrs. James Veitch & Sons some examples 
of handsome hybrids raised in their establishment, including the handsome 
Epidendrum X O’Brienianum var. roseum, which is more rose-coloured 
than the type; a brilliant form of Epiphronitis x Veitchii, out of the same 
seed-pod as the original form ; Chysis X Sedenii, and Cypripedium X Enid, 
a pretty little hybrid from C. bellatulum @ and C. Spicerianum ¢. The 
latter cross was made by the Hon. Walter Rothschild, but the seedlings 
were raised and flowered by Messrs. Veitch. 
The handsome Chysis x langleyensis is also enclosed, and we are 
informed that the parentage of this plant is C. bractescens ? X Cr'x 
Chelsoni ¢, not as recorded at page 187 of our last volume, on the occasion 
of its receiving an Award of Merit from the R.H.S., when C. * Sedenii was 
given as the seed parent. 
A flower of the handsome Ccelogyne asperata has been sent from the 
collection of Mrs. Barton, High Bickington, N. Devon, which flowered out 
of an importation from Sarawak, Borneo. It isa plant which many do not 
succeed in growing well, but should be grown in the warm house and 
receive similar treatment to C. pandurata from the same region. It is a 
very striking Orchid when well grown,
