THE ORCHID REVIEW. 159 
and crest, and transversely barred with deep purple brown on the side lobes. 
The genus is allied to Houlletia, but differs in various structural details. 
‘The Kew plant is part of the original one from Glasnevin, and we believe 
that these are the only plants known in cultivation, or at all events which 
have flowered. The genus was dedicated to Mr. F. W. Moore, the able 
.curator of the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens. 
NOTES. 
THE next meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the 
Drill Hall, Buckingham Gate, Westminster, on May 7th, when the Orchid 
Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
The Great Annual Flower Show will be held in the Inner Temple 
Gardens, Thames Embankment, on May 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. Class 24 
is devoted to Orchids, and as on previous occasions Silver Cups and 
Medals will be awarded according to merit. The Orchid Committee will 
meet at 11 o’clock a.m. 
On this occasion the Sherwood prize—a Silver Cup value ten guineas, 
presented by N. N. Sherwood, Esq., V.M.H. and Past Master of the 
Worshipful Company of Gardeners—is offered for the best collection of 
Orchids shown by an amateur in a space not exceeding 100 square feet. 
Entries must be sent to the Secretary eight days before the show. 
The last number of the interesting little Dictionnaire Iconographique des 
Orchidées contains figures of Calanthe vestita rubro-oculata, C. x Veitchil, 
Catasetum xX splendens var. Lindeni, Cattleya Harrisoniana alba, C. 
Walkeriana, the charming Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni, Cypripedium X 
Minos var. Youngii, Lzlio-cattleya x Herode, Masdevallia erythrochete, 
Oncidium tigrinum var. Montefiore, Stenorrhynchus speciosus vat. 
maculatus, and Zygopetalum rostratum. 
A good form of Dendrobium x Pitcherianum is sent from the collection 
of Eustace Smith, Esq., of Wylam-on-Tyne. It was purchased as an 
imported D. nobile, but has the marked character of this hybrid, especially 
in the coloured disc of the lip being restricted to the basal part only. The 
apex of the lip and upper part of the sepals and petals are bright rose- 
purple, giving the flower a very effective appearance. 
A flower of the charming albino Paphiopedilum X Maudiz is sent from 
- the collection of T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield. We need not 
repeat its history, but refer our readers to page 17 of our January. issue, 
where its portrait may also be found.
