72 ‘THE ORCHID REVIEW. [FEBRUARY, 1913: 
C@LOGYNE INTERMEDIA.—We have received from Messrs. James 
Cypher and Sons, Cheltenham, a flower of Ccelogyne intermedia (C. 
cristata Lemoniana X Massangeana), which received an Award of Merit 
from the R.H.S., on January 21st last. It is a charming little plant, 
having short arching racemes of flowers, somewhat resembling an enlarged 
C. flaccida, the colour being white, with an orange yellow disc to the lip 
and three strongly crested keels. The white colour raises a difficulty 
about C. Massangeana, but Mr. Cypher states that only the pollen of 
C. Massangeana and C. oculata were used and the capsule from the 
latter did not mature.

THe New CattLeya Houser at Kew.—A new Cattleya house has 
been erected at Kew, which should prove a valuable acquisition, as none of 
the earlier houses were specially adapted for Cattleya culture, and 
the space available was limited. It stands to the north of the existing 
range, and its erection necessitated the removal of several trees. 
The grass bank and chains clothed with Ivy, which form the 
boundary of the terrace on which the range is built, have been extended 
along the front of the new house. The dimensions of the structure are: 
Length 46 feet 9 inches, width 20 feet, height to eaves 6 feet 6 inches, to 
top of ridge 13 feet. The sides and central benches in the house are of 
teak. The principal rafters are iron and the woodwoik deal. Heywood’s 
patent system is used in the glazing. The house is now furnished and its 
utility is likely to be well tested during the coming season.
