collection. The latter character arises from the fact that the sepal cannot 
elongate, owing to its being firmly fixed to the back of the column. The 
sepals and petals are also somewhat marbled, 
A flower of a plant which was purchased as a hybrid between Lelia 
cinnabarina and Cattleya citrina, together with a painting of the whole 
plant, is sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, but 
it appears to be simply a seedling of Lzlia cinnabarina, for there is not a 
single character that can be traced to the influence of C. citrina, and we 
should suggest that the cross failed to take. It would be interesting if the 
raiser would give us the exact history of the plant. A very richly coloured 
form of Lelia x Latona and a good flower of Cattleya amethystoglossa are 
also sent, the former being a seedling (‘‘ purpurata X cinnabarina”) from 
the Selly Hill sale. 
A very fine flower of Dendrobium pulchellum (Dalhousianum), is sent 
from the collection of Dr. C. Eastwick-Field, Midhurst, Sussex. The 
plant was sent home from Upper Burma by Captain Karl Scharheb, of the 
Indian Staff Corps, and is bearing 140 flowers, producing a fine effect, the 
petals measuring 2} inches long. Some other plants were sent home at the 
same time, but the flowers were not equal in size to the one just mentioned. 
Another curious flower of C. Mendelii is sent from the collection of 
H. H. Noble, Esq., Ivy Bank, Aigburth, Liverpool. It has only two petals, 
two opposite sepals, and a laterally flattened column. It is from an imported 
plant, obtained from Messrs. John Cowan & Co., and is the only flower at 
present produced. Next year may witness some new development. 
J. Newell, Orchid grower for H. H. Hunnewell, Esq., Wellesley, Mass., 
succeeds Mr. Donald as gardener to Jason S. Bailey, es ., West Roxbury 
Mass.—A merican Gardening. 
A very fine flower of Lzlia tenebrosa is sent from the collection of Isaac 
Carr, Esq., Twerton-on-Avon, near Bath. The petals measure 4} inches 
long, and every part of the flower is correspondingly well developed, and 
the colour good. 
An illustration of the fine group of seedling Orchids exhibited by M. 
Charles Maron at a recent meeting of the Societé Nationale d’Horticulture 
is given in the Revue Horticole for June 16th (page 282, fig. 160). 
A fine showy hybrid is sent from the collection of H. J. Ross, Esq., 
Florence, Italy, which is thought to have been obtained from Paphiopedilum 
x Harrisianum and P. Druryi. It most resembles the former, with the 
addition of a dark band along the centre of the dorsal sepal and petals.
