354 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
variation between the different plants. The form known as R. I. Measures’ 
variety is a beautiful white, with radiating pink veins on the front of the lip. 
Interspersed with the above were plants of C. Dowiana, Warscewiczii, 
Bowringiana, the handsome C. x Portia, Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana, 
and a late Lelia tenebrosa, forming a very bright display. It was interesting 
to note here three fine pods of Lelia Digbyana, from which seedlings may 
be expected in due time. 
Paphiopedilums are of course well represented, the most noteworthy 
being nice little specimens in bloom, of P. x Arthurianum with six flowers, 
P. X Ballantinei, P. purpuratum, nice examples of P. Charlesworthii, P. 
X orphanum, P. xX Unixia, and its variety superbum, P. X Wottoni with a 
twin-flowered scape, P. x enfieldense, good, P. X Canhami, and a quantity 
of P. insigne, and the various hybrids from it, throwing up their scapes. 
Many others were in bud, and we also noted a curious little hybrid between 
P. x Appletonianum ¢ and P. barbatum 3, fairly intermediate in 
character. 
Masdevallias are also highly appreciated, and the collection is remark- 
ably complete. Among those noted in flower were, M. X Imogen with 
nine scapes, M. X Asmodia, M. xX Ajax, M. X McVittie, M. x glaphy- 
rantha, M. corniculata with eight flowers, the rare M. Burbidgei, and a few 
of the scarlet-flowered species. This, of course, is not their flowering 
season, but most of the plants are pictures of health, M. Chimzera and M. 
racemosa being particularly good. M. simula was a forest of leaves, nine 
inches across, and we noted half a dozen plants of the rare M. trinema 
(Lowii) which have flowered freely. Restrepia, and some of the allied 
genera, are also well represented, and we noted in flower R. guttata, Scapho- 
sepalum antenniferum, and the tiny little Pleurothallis lateritia with brick- 
red flowers. The unique plant of P. punctulata continues to thrive, and is 
remarkable for having its leaves densely covered with a whitish mealiness. 
Other things noted in flower in the different houses were Pleurothallis 
violacea, Odontoglossum Harryanum, three well - bloomed plants of 
Coelogyne Massangeana, several good plants of Oncidium cheirophorum 
throwing up numerous spikes, a fine O. ornithorrhynchum album with 
seventeen spikes, good plants of the typical form, Cochlioda rosea, Miltonia 
spectabilis Moreliana, and some good Sophronitis grandiflora showing for 
flower. Odontoglossum crispum succeeds admirably in the usual compost,
