160 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for a fine group, including the beautiful Lelia x Latona, Cypripedium 
x Winnianum, C. X obscurum, Selenipedium X macrochilum, the 
Luxembourg variety of S. caudatum, Miltonia Roezlii alba, Dendrobium 
Farmeri, D. x Alcippe, Odontoglossum X Wilckeanum, and other Odonto- 
glossums, two very fine forms of Cattleya Schreedere, &c. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, staged a very fine group, to which 
a Silver Banksian Medal was given. It included Bollea Schroederiana, the 
old but seldom seen Cyrtopera Woodfordii, Dendrobium veratrifolium, D. 
dixanthum, D. Brymerianum, D. Phalenopsis, the rare D. amboinense, 
Spathoglottis plicata, Eulophiella Elisabethe, Oncidium varicosum Rogersii, 
several fine Odontoglossums, forms of Lycaste Skinneri, &c. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis & Co., Southgate, also received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for a good group, containing a good Trichopilia suavis, Cirrhopetalum 
picturatum, Cattleya Mendelii, C. Mossiz, Odontoglossum crispum, O. 
luteopurpureum, the pretty little O. CErstedii, O x Andersonianum, O. 
leve, O. cordatum, &c. 
Messrs. W. and G. Drover, Farnham, showed two forms of Cattleya 
‘Triane. 
CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
W. A. G., Manchester. The beetle sent is the Dendrobium beetle or “ shot-borer” 
Xyleborus perforans). Unless the plant is too badly affected, it would be sufficient to cut 
off and burn the affected parts, keeping a watch for and destroying any stray insects. 
S. & W., New York. Dendrobium secundum. 
H. C. The “graphic” formula for representing hybrids, we believe, was originally 
worked out by Mr. Rolfe in a paper on “ Bigeneric Orchid Hybrids” (/ou77. Linn. S0¢., 
xxiv., p. 156), which appeared in 1887, where it is used to show the species which had been 
crossed with Cypripedium barbatum (p. 162). 
Photographs received, with thanks ; W. S. E., Dorking; A. W. H., California. 
O. W., Bury. Many thanks; next month. 
L., Beckenham, Odontoglossum x Caphicanthum immaculatum ; really an 
unspotted form of O. x Andersonianum, with yellow ground suffused with rosy purple. 
Alpha. Both Dendrobium thyrsiflorum, the pure white one typical. Cattleya velutina, 
a good average flower. C. alutacea is synonymous. The flowers are always fragrant. \- 
Schroederee, a fine form. We do not identify the two forms of C. Trianz with any of the 
named varieties. Very glad the article is so much appreciated. 
We have received the Catalogue of Orchids of Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., of Heaton 
Bradford, for 1895, containing an excellent selection of Orchids. A novel and useful 
feature introduced into this Catalogue is a list of the hybrids raised in the different genera, 
together with their parents. We note with satisfaction that Cypripedium and Selenipedium 
are enumerated separately, but it would have been better to have followed the same course 
with Cattleya, Laelia, Lzelio-cattleya, and Sophro-cattleya, instead of amalgamating them in 
one alphabetical list.
