204 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JuLy, rg11- 
The fourth house has a centre stage, and narrow side stages, chiefly 
devoted to Warm-growing species. The roof is devoted to Dendrobiums.- 
and others which thrive suspended, among which we noticed Aérides affine 
with a long spike, and two A. Leoniz in bloom, A. odoratum in bud, with: 
plants of A. Fieldingii, A. crassifolium, A. Larpente, A. Houlletianum,. 
Phalzenopsis Schilleriana, P. Lueddemanniana in bloom, a small plant of 
P. Lowii which is said to flower every year, the rare Angreecum Leonis in 
bloom, plants of A. sesquipedale, and of the fine Dendrobium anosmum 
Demidoff var., from the collection previously mentioned, with some well- 
bloomed D. Parishii, &c. On the end wall were plants of Vanilla planifolia 
and Renanthera coccinea, and on the stages two plants of Microstylis- 
Scottii in bloom, a fine Stauropsis Batemanniana, some well-grown 
Calanthes, a plant of Cattleya elongata, said to have been here ever since- 
1892, with examples of C. Aclandiz, Schilleriana, Warscewiczii, and others, 
and various Cypripediums, of which many have been raised, though,. 
unfortunately, the parentage has been lost in a good many cases. 
The last house is similar to the preceding in general character, and 
here we saw three plants of the beautiful Ccelogyne Dayana in bloom, one 
of them a magnificent example bearing eleven of its graceful spikes, about 
three feet in length, and forming quite a picture. There were also three» 
plants of Calanthe Dominii in bloom, with examples of Dendrochilum 
latifolium, Oncidium Harrisonianum, Vanda tricolor, Bulbophyllum: 
barbigerum, Cypripedium Godefroye, C. Germinyanum, some good C, 
bingleyense, raised in the collection, C. almum, C. Lawrenceanum, C,- 
hirsutissimum, C. selligerum, &c., while in bud were Dendrobium Farmeri 
roseum, Anguloa Clowesii, Oncidium Wentworthianum, and numerous- 
Cypripedes, together with a number of seedlings, while some of the plants. 
were bearing seed capsules. 
Interesting plants pointed out were Cattleya Rex, poms the original 
importation, C. Trianz, C. labiata, some good Sarcopodium cymbidioides, 
a large Leliocattleya amanda, forms of Lelia anceps, Ancistrochilus- 
Thomsonianus, Dendrobium Jenkinsii, D. Farmeri album and luteum, a. 
fine example of Vanda Hookeriana, a plant of V. Sanderiana, which keeps - 
alive but does not flourish, a few Miltonias, and the historical Cypripedium - 
Dauthieri which sported to the striped variety Rossianum, and afterwards:. 
to var. Poggio Gherardo, a greenish form with some bronzy tinge on the 
petals; also producing a harlequin-coloured sport, half-yellow and half 
chestnut, called var. Janet Ross (See Q.R., ii. p. 20). Cypripediums. 
flourish here remarkably, and there are batches of seedlings of various well- 
known hybrids, with a few that have not appeared elsewhere. They root. 
with the greatest freedom in a rubbly soil, with a surface of moss, and the 
stout hairy roots ramble over the sides in great luxuriance. The plants are.
