296 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
of Lzlio-cattleya x Schilleriana almost reproduces Leelia purpurata in 
the shape of the sepals and petals, but the lip is strongly trilobed, and 
the front lobe rich purple, a little marbled with white near the apex, and 
the side lobes suffused with rose-purple at the tips. Other flowers are: a 
good Miltonia spectabilis Moreliana, Cypripedium Charlesworthii with the 
front of the pouch missing, the handsome Odontoglossum Uroskinneri, 
O. bictoniense, O. cariniferum, and three gcod forms of O. crispum. One 
of these has all the segments remarkably broad and short, and the lip 
only very handsomely spotted. 
A superb form of Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana is sent from the 
collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., The Woodlands, Streatham. It is 
precisely intermediate between Lelia purpurata and Cattleya intermedia, 
inclining to the former in size, and to the latter in the shape of the sepals 
and petals, which are white, faintly tinged with blush. The lip is trilobed, 
with the front lobe nearly orbicular, beautifully undulate, and of an intense 
crimson-purple shade, which extends round the margin of the side lobes . 
as a very broad hand, and down the centre of the disc, contrasting very 
effectively with the white tube. It is one of the best forms of this 
beautiful natural hybrid. 
PHYSURUS ORTGIESII. 
TuIs pretty little Aneectochilus-like species seems to have been almost 
or quite lost sight of during recent years, and it is interesting to record that 
it has now been re-introduced by M. Florent Claes, of Brussels. It was 
_ exhibited by Messrs. Carter & Co., at the Birmingham Show of the Royal 
Horticultural Society in 1872, under the name of Anecectochilus Ortgiesii, 
and received a First-class Certificate ; a similar award being subsequently 
made to it by the Royal Botanical Society. Under this name it was 
described and figured in the Florist & Pomologist (1872, p. 243, with fig.). 
The following year Reichenbach obtained flowers from M. Louis Van Houtte, 
which showed it to belong to Physurus, and described it under the above 
name (Gard. Chron., 1873, p. 177). It is believed to have been discovered 
and introduced by Roezl, from New Granada, where also M. Claes met 
with it. The leaves are ovate-oblong, of a light olive-green, silvery along 
the centre, with some oblong, dusky blotches on either side, which has led 
to its being described as “ mackerel-spotted.” The flowers are white, and 
borne in dense spikes. It grows naturally in very humid forests, at 5,500 
to 5,900 feet elevation, so that it will probably succeed better in the 
Odontoglossum house than among Ancectochili. i
