THE ORCHID Bev. 
Vox. VII.] 
MARCH, 1899. LNo. 75. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held during 
March, on the 14th and 28th respectively, when the Orchid Committee will 
meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
The March meetings of the Manchester and North of England Orchid 
Society are fixed for the gth and 23rd, at the Coal Exchange, Manchester. 
The Orchid Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to 
inspection from one o’clock until four. 
Another success in raising hybrid Odontoglossums has been attained in 
the collection of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, of Armainvilliers, near 
Paris. M. Jacob has flowered a beautiful hybrid between O. crispum and 
O. Pescatorei. It is most like the latter in habit and general character, 
but the sepals and petals are said to be more like O. crispum. We have 
not yet seen it. 
M. O. Doin, of Paris, is said to have exhibited a beautiful example of 
Paphiopedilum Rothschildianum, which he has succeeded in raising from 
uncrossed seed. Few true species of Orchids have yet been raised in this 
manner. 
A handsome hybrid Paphiopedilum is sent from the collection of W. 
Vanner, Esq., Camden Wood, Chislehurst, by Mr. Robbins. It is a 
seedling from P. x Calypso, crossed, it is said, with pollen of bellatulum, 
though it has so much of the appearance of P. Boxallii as to suggest that 
that species was the pollen parent. It may be briefly described as three- 
fourths of the latter with one-fourth P. Spicerianum.
