Dendrobium Victoria-Regina, a native of the Philippine Islands, 
the natural hybrid Cattleya Xx Victoria-Regina, figured in these 
pages as recently as December last (p. 361), the handsome Sophro- 
cattleya X Queen-Empress, raised by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, 
and Odontoglossum crispum Queen Victoria, for which Messrs. Hugh

dedicated, by special permission, to Her Majesty. 
May the reign of her successor, His Majesty King Edward VII, 
be marked by a further development of the peaceful arts, among 
which horticulture generally, and its special branch -of Orchid 
culture, now occupy such an important place.
