288 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Frau Ida Brandt, &c. A First-class Certificate was given to the handsome 
Odontoglossum Wattianum, and an Award of Merit to a fine form 
of Cattleya Leopoldi. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Upper Clapton, staged a good group, contain- 
ing Cycnoches chlorochilon, Catasetum purum, Cypripedium Charlesworthi, 
C. Parishii, Rhynchostylis ccelestis, Cattleya Eldorado Wallisii, and other 
good things. 
Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Holloway, staged a nice group of 
Cypripediums, including C. x orphanum, C. X Morganie, C. X 
vexillarium superbum, C. tonsum, C. X cenanthum, and various others, 
including a rather striking one called C. x G. H. Rogers (C. insigne 
punctato-violaceum ? X C.superbiens 3). 
Messrs. Heath & Son, Cheltenham, sent a distinct and pretty hybrid 
called Cypripedium x pendulum, derived from C. Argus Moensii ¢ and C. 
philippinense 3. 
CYPRIPEDIUM CURTISII PALLIDUM. 
A very distinct form of Cypripedium Curtisii has appeared in the 
establishment of M. Ed. Pynaert, of Gand, Belgium, in which the flower is 
very delicately coloured, the petals especially being nearly white towards 
the apex, but densely spotted with minute light purple dots, the marginal 
hairs being deep purple, as usual. The lip is also pale greenish, with only 
a slight suffusion of pale purple-brown, the staminode pale whitish green, 
reticulated with bright green in the centre, and the dorsal sepal closely 
lined with bright green, and with a very broad white margin. At the base 
of the dorsal sepal and the petals may be seen a slight suffusion of the 
usual purple-brown colour, but the rest of the flower is much paler 
than in the typical form. The leaves are said to show the usual 
markings. It affords a distinct contrast with the typical form. 
CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
, 5. Devon. The Cattleya labiata has been affected by the Cattleya fly, but the 
ies ine now escaped, and, unless destroyed, will renew the mischief. Smoke will 
destroy them, or it is said that a night light lit at dusk in the house will lure them to 
destruction. Look out for fresh swellings and stamp the insects out as quickly as possible.

flowering, Which appears to be constant. Stanhopea costaricensis is, according to descrip- 
tion, very near to S, Wardii, and may be only a variety of it.
