4 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
remarkable for its short, broad lip, which is much nearer to O. crispum in 
shape than to O. gloriosum. The sepals and petals are coloured like the 
variety Ruckerianum. 
It is interesting to note that two more of M. Ch. Vuylsteke’s seedling 
Odontoglossums have reached the flowering stage, and a bloom of each has 
been sent. One belongs to O. X crispo-Harryanum, and has light yellow 
flowers, with the sepals aud petals and lower part of the lip much barred 
and spotted with purple brown. The other belongs to O. x Rolfez and 
has a whiter ground, with rather smaller and more regular spots, a more 
pandurate lip and more entire column wings, as would be expected from 
its O. Pescatorei parentage. Both are very beautiful. 
An inflorescence of a very large and beautiful Lelio-cattleya, called 
Princess of Wales, is sent from the collection of Sir Frederick Wigan, Clare 
Lawn, East Sheen, by Mr. Young. It was obtained from Messrs. F.. 
Sander and Co., and is a seedling of continental origin and unrecorded 
parentage, though Mr. Young thinks there can be little doubt of its descent 
from C. Warscewiczii and a very light form of Lelia purpurata; which 
would make it a variety of L.-c. x callistoglossa. The sepals and petals 
are light blush-pink, while the expanded part of the lip is bright rose, paler 
along the centre and round the margin, and with slightly darker veins 
along the sides. One of the two flowers sent has the dorsal sepal adnate to 
the back of the column, and appears to be duplicated, for there are fonr 
broad petaloid wings united to the back of the column, and these are 
beautifully crisped in front, where they extend beyond the adnation, giving 
the flower a very striking appearance. It is a very charming form. 
Flowers of the rare Oncidium Warscewiczii, the beautiful Trichopilia 
brevis, and avery large scarlet form of Sophronitis grandiflora are also 
enclosed. |

P. madagascariensis is allied to P. latifolia, 
a much resembles P. spiralis, S. Moore, in 
y distinguished by its long narrow spur. It is as 
ransferred to their proper position.
