violet, and the crest yellow. It is allied to O. tenense, Rchb. f. The plant 
exhibited bore a twining spike about ten feet long, with 13 side branches 
and numerous flowers, the sepals being deep brown, the petals paler and 
suffused with purple, and the trulliform lip deep purple, with a yellow crest. 
A mistake appeared in our report at page 187, where the spike is said to 
have taken two years to develop. Mr. Collier informs us that it should have 
been six months. Several striking species of the Cyrtochilum group are not 
yet known in cultivation. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A very richly-coloured form of Lzeliocattleya Canhamiana is sent from the 
collection of Mrs. Fielding, Grimston Park, Tadcaster, by Mr. G. P. Bound, 
who remarks that it is a hybrid raised in the collection, from Cattleya 
Mossize X Lelia purpurata, and that several others have bloomed, all of a 
similar dark type, this, however, being the best in shape. The sepals and 
petals are bright rose-purple, and the front lobe of the lip rich crimson- 
purple, the throat being yellow with some dusky lines. 
Several interesting flowers are sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, 
Esq., Penarth, by Mr. Haddon, noteworthy among them being a handsome 
form of Lelia grandiflora (majalis), in which the disc of the lip is white, 
the usual blotches having vanished. The sepals, petals, and apex of the 
lip are the usual light-rose purple. Mr. Haddon remarks that it seems to 
grow best under the treatment given to Sarracenias, namely, plenty of 
water and full sun-light. A-large and richly-coloured form of Lzliocattleya 
Canhamiana is also enclosed, a twin-flowered scape of Cypripedium 
bellatulum, a fine flower of Phragmopedilum caudatum, Trichopilia tortilis, 
Cirrhopetalum picturatum, Dendrobium mutabile, and an inflorescence of 
Epidendrum Ruckere.
