THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
VoL. V,] AUGUST, 1897. [No. 56. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the 
Drill Hall, James Street, Westminster, during August, on the roth and 
24th respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 
12 o’clock noon. 
The August meetings of the Manchester and North of England Orchid 
Society are fixed for the rzth and 26th, at the Coal Exchange, Market 
Place, Manchester. The Orchid Committee meets at noon, and the 
exhibits are open from one o’clock until four. 
Two beautiful forms of Cattleya Warscewiczii are sent from the collection 
of Mrs. Taylor-Whitehead, Burton Closes, Bakewell (gr. Mr. Dunn). One 
is fairly typical in character, except that the lip is unusually broad and 
round, the two small yellow eyes standing out very clearly from the very 
deep purple-crimson area. The other is of the usual shape, but the eyes 
are much larger, and shade off to nearly white within the margin, while the 
front lobe is much paler in colpur. They have flowered annually for the 
last four years. 
A very fine, slightly-spotted form of Odontoglossum apterum has been 
sent from the collection of J. Wilson Potter, Esq., of Croydon, the petals 
of one flower being an inch broad. The flowers are white, with a few 
minute brown spots on the lower part, those on the lip only approaching 
those of the typical form, from which it is very distinct. Flowers of 
Aéranthes grandiflora, Vanda Kimballiana, Cattleya Harrisoniana, and two 
or three forms of the variable Dendrobium Phalzenopsis are also enclosed.
