THE ORCHID REVIEW. 171 
which we have received a flower from Mr. William Brooks, of Weston- 
super- Mare. | 
Two fine forms of Cattleya Mossiz are sent from the collection of R. B. 
Macbean, Esq., of Lancaster, from imported plants. One has a large 
amount of crimson veining on the front lobe of the lip, and the other, very 
large but fairly typical. A very beautiful flower, excellent in shape and 
richly coloured, is sent from the collection of J. Wilson Potter, Esq., of 
Croydon. This species is now flowering in quantity, and is remarkably 
variable in colour and deliciously fragrant. 
A charming, pure white form of Odontoglossum crispum, with the usual 
clear yellow disc, is sent from the collection of D. M. Grimsdale, Esq., of 
Uxbridge. The raceme bears ten flowers, and the segments are broad and 
compact. With it are enclosed a more typical form of the species, a light 
form of O. triumphans with much yellow on the sepals and petals, the 
beautiful O. citrosmum, and flowers of Dendrobium Devonianum, which 
also is very effective just now. 
A good inflorescence of the clear, bright yellow Oncidium concolor is 
sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, together with 
the handsome Cattleya Schilleriana and a good form of Odontoglossum 
Hallii. 
A form of Cattleya Mossiz is sent from the collection of Major-General 
Gillespie, Brynderwen, Usk, in which the front lobe of the lip is of a slaty- 
blue shade. Good typical examples of Odontoglossum triumphans and 
Lzlia purpurata are also enclosed. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM x DENISONIZ. 
A STRIKING and very beautiful variety of Odontoglossum x Denisoniz has 
appeared in the collection of the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., 
Highbury, Birmingham. The ground colour is pure white, with a faint 
flush of rose in the sepals, each of which bears a transverse red-brown 
blotch below the middle, and a rounder, irregular one nearer the apex. 
The petals bear about three or four roundish spots near the middle, while 
the lip has two or three small blotches on either side of the crest and a 
larger one in front. On account of the white ground, it might pass for a 
form of O. crispum, were it not that the sides of the crest are developed 
jnto distinct teeth, as in other forms of this hybrid; the shape is also 
modified from that of typcil O. crispam. The petals are an inch broad at 
the base and somewhat to ih21 121 1 1Julate, and the richly-coloured spots 
show very effectively on the clear white ground. It is much more spotted 
than the original form, though nearer to it than most others which have 
subsequently appeared.
