232 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [ AUGUST, IgII- 
Lawrenceze, and with the drawing of the Timor plant made by Mr. Day. 
That it is not an albino of A. Lawrencez is evident, for this also was drawn 
by Mr. Day (Orch. Draw., xlvii. t. 43), and has much broader leaves and a 
differently-shaped spur. The plant cailed A. quinquevulnerum var. 
Farmeri looks a little different, but it is difficult to judge from the painting 
of a single flower. The drawing by Mr. Durham mentioned is, we believe, 
part of the fine collection now in the library of Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., 
at Gatton Park, Reigate. Messrs. Stuart Low have since stated that the 
plant reached them from Burma, consequently it was suspected to be a form 
of A. odoratum, Lour. It is nearer to A. virens, Lindl., but we scarcely 
think it can be an albino of that species. A. pallidum seems to have been 
lost to cultivation for some time. R.A.R.

ORCHIDS FROM STREATHAM. 
SEVERAL handsome Orchids are sent from the collection of R. G. 
‘Thwaites, Esq., Chessington, Streatham (gr. Mr. Black). Odontioda 
Leeana (C. Neetzliana X O. spectabile) is a charming flower, having light 
reddish orange sepals and petals, with an undulate deep rose-coloured 
margin, and the lip wholly buff-yellow with a deeper yellow crest. It is 
from a batch raised in the collection, and Mrs. Thwaites remarks that it is 
the first to flower, and that the yellow lip and margined segments make a 
striking flower. It forms a marked contrast with a dark flower of O. 
Charlesworthii sent with it. There is also a very fine form of O. Thwaitesii 
(O. Harryanum X C. vulcanicum) measuring 23 inches across its broadest 
diameter, and having chocolate purple sepals and petals, and the lip very 
broad, and bright lilac purple, with many white splashes round the margin 
and apex, giving a very bright appearance. It should give some fine 
seedlings in the next generation if suitably crossed. Two flowers of 
Odontoglossum Thompsonianum out of the same seed-pod are remarkably 
distinct, one having the sepals and petals uniform dull chocolate brown, 
with a narrow lilac margin round the lip, and the crest deep yellow, while 
the other has light purple sepals and petals, with some confluent chocolate- 
coloured blotches in the centre, most copious on the petals, while the lip is 
lilac with some chocolate markings behind the deep yellow crest, thus 
forming a very bright and pretty flower. The other two flowers are O. 
<rispum xanthotes Charlesworthii, a good round flower, with a few deep 
yellow spots on the lateral sepals and basal margin of the lip, and O. 
Uroskinneri splendens, a remarkably handsome form, which obtained an 
Award of Merit from the R.H.S. when in the Wilson Potter collection, 
whence it was purchased. The sepals and petals are copiously spotted 
with dark brown, and the lip very broad and bright purple, slightly 
marbled with white all over. They form a very charming little group.
