May, 1g1t.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 143 
the buds are closely marked with tranverse lines, indicating the markings on 
the segments. 
In the next house we saw an interesting importation of Cochlioda 
Neetzliana from Peru, and with them came another species which we 
recognised as C. rosea, examples of each being in bloom. What was. also 
especially interesting was a plant of intermediate character which was 
flowering in the importation, and which is described on page 144 as C. 
Floryi. A nice batch of Oncidium concolor was suspended here, a number 
being in bud and about a dozen in flower. Some O. praetextum were also in 
bud, and Mr. Flory remarked that these had proved to be a very mixed lot. 
Some natural hybrids are believed to come in importations from the same 
district, and it would be interesting to have the question carefully worked out. 
A number of Odontoglossums are grown here, some being in spike. There 
were also some good plants of Masdevallia tovarensis, and we noticed that 
the old spikes were left on, as they produce another crop of flowers when the 
blooming season returns. Among other interesting things pointed out were 
plants of Aganisia lepida and A. ionoptera, now very rare in cultivation. 
In the next house various Odontoglossums were noticed, some being in 
spike and flower, the latter including forms of O. crispum, triumphans, loo- 
christiense, gloriosum, the rare O. blandum, and some rather peculiar forms 
of O. Pescatorei. These came from the district which yielded the pretty O. P. 
Sanderz some time ago, and are not quite of the ordinary type. Here were 
also some good Oncidium concolor in bloom, one having the greater part of 
the column wings red and the stigma margined with similar colour, hence 
the name O. concolor var. rhodoptera, under which it is described on another 
page. A number of unfamiliar Peruvian Oncidiums and allies were pointed 
out here, from which something interesting is expected when they flower. 
We next visited a Warm house, and found a number of Dendrobiums, a 
few being in bloom, among them D. Pierardii, D. Wardianum, and some 
well-flowered D. infundibulum. A fine plant of the rare Vanda Denisoniana 
was pointed out, though not in bloom, Angraecum Leonis, Listrostachys 
arcuata, the rare Pleione pogonioides, and plants of Oncidium pulchellum, a 
few spikes being pushing up. There was also a plant of the rare Coelogyne 
Cumingii, Saccolabium curvifolium, and some plants of the Warscewiczella 
group which were imported with Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni. A distinct 
deep red hybrid Epidendrum was in bloom, but its parentage has been lost, 
and we failed to identify it. Among the hybrids we noted a good plant of 
Sophronitis grandiflora x Lzeliocattleya elegans, of nearly flowering size. In 
another division we saw a good batch of the true Anguloa uniflora, imported 
from Peru, and several plants of the Venezuelan A. Ruckeri, the latter 
showing for flower. ; 
A Cypripedium house contained a lot of healthy plants, with a few in
