THE ORCHID REVIEW 95 
A fine inflorescence of the graceful and beautiful Dendrobium Fytch- 
janum is sent from the same collection. It bears thirty of its charming 
white flowers, and one can imagine the effect produced by a group of plants 
suspended from the roof and flowering in profusion, as now seen at Burford. 
An inflorescence of Dendrobium x Cordelia bearing the somewhat 
unusual number of five flowers. is also sent, and like the preceding examples 
it shows the effect produced by good culture. 
A very richly coloured form of Dendrobium nobile is sent from the collec- 
tion of F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough. It is not quite 
identical with any named form we are familiar with, but comes in some- 
where between the type and the variety nobilius. 
A very good form of Paphiopedilum xX Crossianum is also sent from the 
same collection, which differs from the type in its richer colour, and 
numerous purple spots on the petals. Several fairly typical forms also 
flowered out of the same batch of seedlings. 
Several fine flowers of Dendrobium Wardianum are sent from the 
collection of F. G. Scott, Esq., Preston, North Shields, by Mr. Knight, 
which show what this beautiful species is capable of when well grown. - 
Respecting the culture of the beautiful Phaius simulans, we have heard 
from two different sources that the plant has been found to succeed best in 
an intermediate temperature. With too much heat the plants are said to 
dwindle away. 
A plant of Paphiopedilum Appletonianum has flowered in the collection 
of G. W. Law-Schofield, Esq., among imported plants of P. callosum. 
It is now well-known that the two species grow together. 
A very pretty form of Dendrobium x Ainsworthii is also sent from the 
same collection, which has the sepals and petals prettily tinged with blush 
Pink, and the blotch on the lip proportionately very large. 
LYCASTE x JANET. 
The Lycaste which you did me the honour to name after me (Skinner! X 
Rossianum) has bloomed profusely. We have twelve pots, all strong 
Plants, out of one seed pod. Two have rose coloured sepals and petals with 
light yellow lip; three are canary yellow with dark yellow lip and a few 
Sarkish spots on the sepals near the lip; and two are apple green fading 
mto yellow, with a yellow lip. The others have not yet bloomed.
