THE ORCHID REVIEW. 3 
Cypripedium x Godseffianum has again been raised, this time in the 
collection of H. J. Ross, Esq., of Florence, the plant now flowering for the 
first time in very fine condition. Two plants of Arachnanthe Lowii are 
also flowering in the collection, each bearing three spikes of its remarkable 
dimorphic flowers. 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, send a three-lowered raceme of 
their very pretty hybrid Lzlio-cattleya x Hon. Mrs. Astor, described at p. 
tIr of our last volume. Though a seedling from Cattleya Gaskelliana, the 
flowers are far more like those of Lzelia xanthina, the pollen parent, both in 
form and colour. The sepals, however, are a fourth longer, and the petals 
twice as broad, both being a pleasing shade of light yellow. The lip is 
also a third longer, intermediate in shape, the front lobe rose-purple, with 
bright yellow throat and lilac matgin. It is a handsome hybrid, and of a 
colour which is rare in the group. 
ORCHIDS OF 1894. 
In conformity with custom at the present season, we may here take a brief 
survey of the more important novelties of the past year, which have again 
been fairly numerous, as our pages month by month have indicated, more 
particularly in the department of the hybridist. 
In the matter of species the year 1894 cannot produce anything of equal 
importance to the introduction in quantity of the beautiful Cypripedium 
Charlesworthii, which marked the preceding one, though several acquisitions 
of lesser importance have appeared. Besides which a new genus has been 
described from the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., under the 
name of Serrastylis modesta, Rolfe. It was sent from the Andes by Mr. F. 
€. Lehman to Mr. J. O’Brien, and afterwards flowered also with Major 
Joicey, at Sunningdale Park. 7 
Of the forty new species described i 
been chronicled in our pages, a considerable number are chiefly of botanical 
interest, among the exceptions being the following :—Dendrobium San- 
derianum, a beautiful Bornean species with large white flowers, Cattleya 
Brownii, Oncidium Sanderianum, Oncidium Lucasianum, and Ccelogyne 
Swaniana from Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans. Dendrobium 
Hildebrandii, a handsome yellow-flowered species from the Shan States, 
and the remarkable Vanda Roeblingiana originated with Messrs. Hugh Low 
and:Co., of Clapton. Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, must be 
credited with two brightly coloured Dendrobiums, D, glomeratum and D, 
the latter with a remarkable lip. Eria cinnabarina, with its 
, and Catasetum punctatum came from Messrs. 
n the Kew Bulletin, which have also 
subclausum, 
brilliantly coloured flowers,
