THE ORCHID REVIEW. 207 
leucoglossa 64, and M. x Bluntii Lubbersiana 4 ; plants of Lycaste Skinneri alba 
and Ceelogyne cristata alba 3 to 5 each; Oncidium lamelligerumand Platyclinis 
filiforme 2 each. Nor must we omit a plant of Coelogyne pandurata which - 
realised £3 10s., and three of Eulophiella Elisabethe, in flower, which 
ranged from fifteen to thirty shillings each. Argus please note! 
The above are necessarily the choicer varieties, in which, as is well 
known, the collection was rich. Most of the commoner varieties realised 
ordinary prices.

CYPRIPEDIUM BELLATULUM ALBUM. 
An albino of the beautiful Cypripedium bellatulum is undoubtedly a 
surprise, but such a form has flowered in the collection of Sir Frederick 
Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. Young), and deservedly received 
a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on June 11th 
last. It is almost the only pure white Cypripedium in the genus, for 
C. niveum has usually a few purple spots, while the present one has only a 
little yellow in the centre of the staminode. The scape, bract, and ovary 
are entirely green, and every trace of purple has also vanished from the 
leaves. Indeed, to the latter. circumstance we owe our knowledge of the 
plant at the present moment. Its discovery is due to Mr. R. Moore, 
Assistant Commissioner of the Shan States, to whom we are also indebted 
for C. Charlesworthii. Mr. Moore noticed a plant like C. bellatulum, but 
without any purple in the leaves, and thinking it must be new brought it 
into his compound. He did not, however, see the flower, for just as it was 
about to expand a goat got into the compound, and unfortunately nibbled 
it off. The clump was divided into several plants, which were mostly 
distributed by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. It appears to have a very good 
constitution, and the flower is of the usual size. It is light yellow on 
first expanding, but soon becomes pure white. It is a most beautiful 
acquisition.

DENDROBIUM AUGUST#-VICTORIZ. 
The above species was included in the list of novelties at page 107 of 
our last volume, having been described by Dr. Kranzlin (Gartenflora, 1894, 
p- 115). Having now seen it on two different occasions, we find it identical 
with D. veratrifolium, Lindl. It is a very beautiful Dendrobium, and was 
described over half-a-century ago, though its introduction to cultivation 
only dates from 1889. Its history is given at page 207 of our last volume. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co. received a Cultural Commendation for a fine 
plant at a meeting of the R. H. S. on April 23rd last.
