98 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Dendrobium bigibbum, Cirrhopetalum clavigerum, Phaius grandifolius, 
P. Bernaysii, &c. The issue of this valuable work was interrupted by the 
death of the author over two years ago, but as it was felt that Mr. 
Fitzgerald’s unpublished drawings were too valuable to be lost, the New 
South Wales Government consented to continue the work, with the help of 
Mr. A. J. Stops as lithograper, and Mr. H. Deane, F.L.S., who contributed 
the letterpress. 
The list of hybrid Cypripediums mentioned in our February issue has 
been re-arranged by Mr. H. Chapman, the parents being placed alphabeti- 
cally in two columns, with the offspring in a third one—thus being very 
handy for reference. The list appears in the Gardeners’ Chronicle for 
February 16th. On testing it with a list compiled from original records, 
however, we regret to find.a large number of discrepancies. 
Le Jardin for March 5th (p. 53) contains a list by M. H. Martinet of the 
principal hybrid Cypripediums raised in France, with their parentage, 
raisers, and a reference to the original descriptions. It is intended to 
supplement the Gardeners’ Chronicle list—in which the origin of hybrids 
raised abroad is vaguely indicated as ‘‘ Continental”—and is reproduced 
in that journal for March 23rd (p. 370). A few, however, are practically 
synonymous with forms previously raised in England. 
The Revue Horticole for February rst (p. 63) contains a list of the prin- 
cipal hybrid Orchids raised during 1894, compiled by M. Ch. Moran. 
Cypripedium insigne is extensively grown in the collection of W. S. 
Kimball, Esq., Rochester, New York. American Gardening for February 
23rd gives a figure reproduced from a photograph of a house fifty feet long © 
by twenty feet broad, containing over four thousand flowers. 
C. Winn, Esq., Selly Hill, Birmingham, sends flowers of a brilliantly- 
coloured hybrid Dendrobrium, raised by himself from D. nobile nobilius ¢ 
and D. X splendidissimum grandiflorum g., and which we think is a form ~ 
of D. x Rubens, both the parentage and flower being very similar. It is 
large and very brilliantly coloured. 
A very fine flower of Cattleya Lueddemaniana Roeblingiana from the 
collection of C. G. Roebling, Esq., Trenton, N. Jersey, arrives in almost 
perfect condition, in spite of its long journey across the Atlantic. The 
petals are over four inches long by 2} inches broad, and light blush pink 
with a purple stain along the middle of the upper half. The lip is 33 inches 
long, and the front lobe rich purple crimson, the side lobes being light 
blush, like the sepals and em
