A series of handsome Cypripediums are sent from the collection of 
O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, among which C. Curtisii and C. 
tonsum are very fine, and C. X cenanthum superbum marked by its rich 
coloration. 
A splendid inflorescence of Cypripedium x Youngianum with three 
flowers and oné unopened bud is sent from the collection of Reginald 
Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool, together with a flower oc, x 
Denisianum for comparison. The latter is decidedly inferior in size, but 
remarkably similar in other respects. C. Xx selligerum, instead of C. 
philippinense, is given as one parent of the latter, but the influence of C. 
barbatum (one parent of C. x selligerum) is not very obvious. 
A fine plant of Coelogyne Sanderiana has just flowered in the collection 
of H. J. Ross, Esq., of Florence, producing five spikes and making a 
handsome show. It has taken ten years to bloom,
