334 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
necessary to engage an extensive suite of apartments for their accommoda- 
tion, in Hungerford Market! The plan pursued by M. Deschamps was to 
parcel out his plants in small collections of about twenty species, for which, 
in the first place, he asked and obtained very high prices; but the London 
market being at length exhausted, similar collections were distributed 
through the provinces, and offered at greatly reduced rates. The author 
himself purchased, in a country town, a set of at least twenty kinds for a 
sum which, in the metropolis, he had in vain tendered for only two! In 
case of any future inundation of Orchidacez, this little fact should be 
borne in mind.” 
The Miscellaneous Notices in this work again contained descriptions of 
numerous Orchids, of which only a few of the more important ones can be 
mentioned. Sophronitis violacea (p. 18), is described as ‘“‘a pretty little 
epiphyte with violet flowers, for which I am indebted to Mrs. Cannon, of 
Stratford Green, in whose hothouse it flowered in the beginning of 
February.’ Oncidium Insleayi (p. 19), now referred to Odontoglossum, 
is noted as ‘‘a native of Mexico, whence it was imported by George Barker, 
Esq., of Birmingham, who has named it after Mr. Insleay, his gardener.” 
Cycnoches maculatum (p. 10) also flowered in Mr. Barker’s collection, and 
Lindley remarked that a figure would be published in the Sertum 
Orchidaceum, the page of the Botanical Register being ‘‘too small to do 
justice to so noble a flower.”’ Mormodes buccinator (p. 10) flowered in the 
collection of J. Willmore, Esq., of Oldford, near Birmingham. Of Brassia 
verrucosa (p. 36) we read that ‘‘at the last meeting of the Horticultural 
Society in Regent Street, this beautiful plant was exhibited by Messrs. 
Rollissons, of Tooting,” and was intended for one of the plates in Mr. 
Bateman’s Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala. Stanhopea Martiana (p. 50) 
was discovered by Baron Karwinski in Mexico” in 1827, and sent by him 
to Knypersley, where it flowered for the first time “in May of the 
present year.” Dendrochilum filiforme (p. 52) was sent from Manila 
by Cuming, and flowered with Mr. Bateman. It is noted as the 
first living specimen of the genus seen in Europe. Stanhopea 
graveolens (p. 59) flowered in the collection of the Hon. and Rev. 
- W. Herbert, who is said to have imported it from Peru. Chysis 
levis and C. bractescens (p. 61) were two new species of the genus 
which had appeared in Mr. Barker’s collection. Maxillaria Skinneri 
(pp. 48, 68)—now Lycaste—was introduced by Mr. Skinner, and first 
flowered with Sir Charles Lemon at Penrhyn. Angrecum bilobum (p. 69) 
was introduced from Cape Coast Castle, and flowered with Messrs. Loddiges- 
Oncidium incurvum (p. 75) flowered with Mr. Barker, and afterwards with 
Messrs. Lee & Co., of Hammersmith. Ccelogyne Cumingii and Catasetum 
saccatum (p. 76), also C. cornutum and C. callosum (p. 77) all flowered with
