ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SoME beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of W. P. Burkinshaw, 
Esq., Hessle, Hull, by Mr. Barker. Cattleya Schroeder var. Princess Ena 
is a fine form, with pale lilac sepals and petals, and the crenulated lip has a 
rich mauve blotch in front of the orange-yellow throat. C. Mendelii has 3 
blush white sepals and petals, and a white lip, with a light yellow disc. 
‘Cypripedium Countess of Carnarvon Hessle var., is a handsome thing, with 
very broad petals, and the whole flower very well developed. Dendrobium 
nobile Barkeri is a beautiful flower, with mauve sepals and petals, becoming 
purple at the apex, while the lip is of the same colour, with a very large 
‘deep maroon disc. D. Roifez roseum is a very finely-developed flower of 
this rare and beautiful variety. A seedling from D. nobile Heathii x D. 
Cybele magnificum has mauve-coloured sepals and petals, with a white 
base, and the lip rather darker, with a rich crimson-maroon blotch on the © 
-disc.

Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Hadden, including the pretty Laelia lynwoodiensis 
(Jongheana X harpophylla), the curious Dendrobium nobile burfordiense, 
with a maroon blotch at the inner angles of the lateral sepals, and a large 
form of Cattleya Triane, with flowers of Odontoglossum triumphans and 
Phaius Wallichii. 
A flower of a very fine Odontoglossum is sent from the collection of Sir 
‘Benjamin Scott, Linden House, Stanwix. It was obtained from Messrs. 
Sander & Sons, as a seedling between O. crispum Mundyanum and another 
Odontoglossum which we are unable to identify. It is of fine shape, and 
‘the lower two-thirds of the sepals and petals are occupied by a very large 
violet-purple blotch, the apex and margin being white. The lip is white, 
with a large purple blotch in front of the yellow crest. It should develop 
into a very handsome thing. 
We have received from the collection of G. Hamilton-Smith, Esq., 
Finchley, four more flowers of the Odontoglossum hybrid, O. amabile 
Queen Alexandra crossed with a fine spotted crispum, which was mentioned
