200 THE ORCHID REVIEW.

sepal and another on the lip, while the blush-white petals are unspotted. 
The sepals have a slight rosy suffusion. 
A pretty light-coloured Cypripedium Godefroye leucochilum has been 
sent by Col. Marwood, of Whitby, most of the spots being rather small. 
Different plants seem to vary somewhat in the number and size of the 
spots. : 
With respect to our note at page 259 on Odontoglossum Uroskinneri 
album we learn that the plant which received an Award of Merit from the 
Royal Horticultural Society on October roth, 1893, passed the same day 
into the collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, 
where it still remains. Mr. Crawshay states that it isa portion of the plant 
that bloomed, Mr. Ashworth’s being the other. As was originally pointed 
out, a slight doubt remains as to whether it is an uncrossed seedling, but 
the remaining plants may throw further light on this point as they flower. 
Mr. Crawshay also sends a flower from the splendid specimen of O. 
Uroskinneri typical, which received a Cultural Commendation at the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s meeting on August 27th last. It was a splendidly 
grown plant, with three leads and two spikes of sixteen flowers each, a few 
being unexpanded. The lip of the flower sent is over an inch-and-a-half 
in diameter. 
A fine flower of Laelio-cattleya x Schilleriana has been sent from the 
collection of Reginald Young, Esq., of Sefton Park, Liverpool. The plant 
is said to be quite a picture, having twenty-two flowers, four being the 
largest number borie on one spike. This hybrid never has the large 
number of flowers on a spike often seen in L.-c. x elegans, so that even 
in this respect they reflect the differences between their respective Cattleya 
parents—intermedia and Leopoldi. 
The charming little Lzelio-cattleya known as L.-c. x Hon. Mrs. Astor has 
been mentioned in our pages on more than one occasion. A flower received 
from the collection of T. Statter, Esq., shows well its remarkable character. 
Although a seedling from Cattleya Gaskelliana, it has almost the shape and 
size of the pollen parent, Lelia xanthina, while the colour of the sepals and 
petals is also very similar, being primrose slightly suffused with buff. The 
front half of the prettily undulate lip is rose-purple, affording a very pretty 
contrast. It is one of Messrs. Sander’s hybrids. 
A female flower of Cycnoches pentadactylon has appeared on a plant in 
the Kew collection, which has produced males only on several previous 
occasions. The disproportion of male to female flowers in a state of nature, 
according to Mr. Rand (Orch. Rev., ii., p- 146), is several thousands to one.
