THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
VoL. VII.] FEBRUARY, 1899. [No. 74. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings ot the Royal Horticultural Society will be held during 
February, on the 14th and 28th respectively, when the Orchid Committee 
will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
The next meeting of the Manchester and North of England Orchid 
Society will be held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on February 9th. 
The Orchid Committee meets at 12 o’clock, and the exhibits are open to 
inspection from 1 o'clock until 4. 
An inflorescence of the handsome Lelia x Gouldiana is sent from the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens. 
It is from one of the original plants, and seems quite intermediate between 
L. autumnalis and L. anceps. The flowers remain fresh for a very long 
time after being cut, and are remarkably brilliant under artificial light. 
A beautiful Odontoglossum called O. crispum Louise is also sent. The 
segments are much like O. luteopurpureum in shape, but the ground 
colour is white with a few large claret-purple blotches on the sepals. The 
lip is similar in colour, but slightly modified in shape, and as the lateral 
teeth of the crest are longer than usual, and the column wings much fringed, 
it is probably a form of O. x Wilckeanum with white ground. 
A beautiful raceme of Odontoglossum Hallii leucoglossum is sent from 
the collection of Joseph Broome, Esq., Sunny Hill, Llandudno. The plant 
threw up four spikes from two bulbs; two spikes were pinched off, and the 
others bore 16 and 26 flowers respectively. Some fine flowers of O, 
luteopurpureum are also enclosed.
