202 THE ORCHID REVIEW, [AuUGUST, {911.

dark variety of L.-c. Gottoiana, L.-c. Mrs. Blount, L.-c. Edwena (L. 
purpurata xX C. bicolor), and other popular hybrids. Many have been 
raised here, and are as yet unflowered, and of them we would mention L.-c. 
elegans X C. Iris, C. Grossii X C. Germania, L. Perrinii x L.-c. luminosa, 
€. Forbesii X L.-c. elegans, C. labiata X B.-c. Digbyano-Warneri, L.-c. 
bletchleyensis X L.-c. luminosa, L.-c. elegans X L.-c. bletchleyensis, C. 
labiata X L.-c. luminosa, and one said to be L. Jongheana X Sophronitis 
grandiflora, but in all probability the latter parent is L. cinnabarina, for 
there are signs of that species in the pseudobulbs. A pretty hybrid from 
L. Jongheana and L. harpophylla is named L. lynwoodiensis, some being 
quite yellow, while others possess various shades of orange. A number of 
seed pods were noticed, and seed of other crosses had recently been sown. 
The last portion of this range was filled with a nice lot of Sarracenias, 
&c., Thunias, Lycastes, Anguloas, Lzlia anceps, mostly white forms, such 
as Dawsonii, Williamsii, and Schroederiana, while L. majalis, which is 
cultivated in full sunlight, was growing freely, and produces six or seven 
flowers from a plant each year. 
- We next visited the span-roofed range, which contains a miscellaneous 
collection of Orchids, such as Vandas, Aérides, a group of Ccelogyne 
cristata, Stanhopeas, several of which are showing flower, Cymbidiums, 
including the new C. insigne, Bulbophyllums, a grand pan of Ancectochilus 
*Petolos, A. Rollissonii, Cypripedium caudatum, a magnificent specimen 
of Arpophyllum spicatum, a batch of Lelia purpurata, also the white 
variety known as alba, and several Calanthes which were coming away 
strongly, and gave promise of a fine display later on. Several interesting 
subjects were in flower, such as Epidendrum Wallisii, Oncidium 
leucochilum, Cattleya Forbesii, which is becoming more scarce as time 
rolls on, and two baskets of Brassavola cordata, one with eight spikes and 
the other with ten, each carrying from three to five blooms. 
As in most collections, Odontoglossum crispum holds premier position 
among the coo] Orchids, and numbers several thousand plants, which are 
in a thriving condition. Only a few were in flower, but sufficient to show 
that the strain is a good one. Other species in bloom were O. Schlieperianum, 
and O. Harryanum, one plant bearing light yellow flowers. The bright 
Epidendrum vitellinum was represented by two examples, having eight and 
seven scapes respectively, while many botanical Orchids, such as Masdevallia 
peristeria, M. simula, Stelis pauciflora with tiny flat blooms, Restrepia 
antennifera and trichoglossa, Physosiphon Loddigesii, &c., were noted, 
each producing a wealth of their curious blossoms. Other plants in this 
house embraced Disa grandiflora, D. rosea, pushing up several spikes, 
Stenoglottis longifolia, Dendrobium Jamesianum, and a batch of strong 
Odontoglossum seedlings.
