136 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (May, 1912. 
ORCHIDS FROM STREATHAM. 
AT the R.H.S. meeting held on April 2nd last a brilliant little group of 
Odontiodas was exhibited from the collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., 
Chessington, Streatham (gr. Mr. J. M. Black). Flowers of several of these 
charming little plants have now been sent, the majority being hybrids of 
Cochlioda Neetzliana, a plant which is rapidly making history. They 
include the richly-coloured Odontioda Charlesworthii; two forms of O. 
Bradshawie, both having a few yellow markings on the sepals and petals, 
and more pale yellow on the lip; O. Cecilia (C. Neetzliana x Odonto- 
glossum Wiganianum), with uniformly red sepals and petals and a little 
yellow on the lip; O. Zephyr (C. Neetzliana X O. Wilckeanum), a bright 
orange-scarlet flower with some yellow markings on the segments; a form 
of O. Boltonii (C. Neetzliana X O. Vuylstekei), with somewhat elongated; 
very undulate bright red sepals and petals and a buff-coloured lip; and two 
forms of O. Cooksoniz, out of the same pod, one having uniformly bright 
orange-scarlet flowers, the other having a whitish ground, irregularly 
blotched with scarlet all over, and forming a very striking contrast. Two 
novelties are described at the end of this note. There is also a form of 
O. chelseiensis (C. vulcanica X O. crispum), with a prettily blotched form 
of Odontoglossum armainvillierense, a uniformly-coloured form of O. 
Thompsonianum, and a hybrid from O. Fascinator xX armainvillierense, 
having the flowers very heavily blotched with red-brown on a white 
ground ; the whole forming a very charming series. 
ODONTIODA CHESSINGTONENSIS.—A bright crimson-coloured hybrid, 
raised from C. Neetzliana crossed with the pollen of O. Rolfeze. It is most 
like O. Charlesworthii, but is rather brighter in colour, owing to the reduced 
amount of O. Harryanum present. The crest is yellow, but otherwise the 
flower is uniformly coloured throughout. The column wings are rather 
larger than in O. Charlesworthii, and the flowers at present rather smaller. 
ODONTIODA SANDER#.—A handsome form, derived from C. Ncetzliana 
and O. percultum. The inflorescense is very compact, and the flowers 
round and full, slightly convex, and of a uniform bright scarlet, with the 
crest yellow. It is a very promising acquisition. 
THE GENUS EULOPHIELLA. 
ANOTHER species of the remarkable genus Eulophiella has appeared in 
cultivation, plants of E. Hamelinii, Rolfe, being offered by Messrs. T. 
Pauwels & Co., Meirelbeke, Ghent. The species has long been imperfectly 
known, having been briefly described about twelve years ago from a drawing 
by M. L. Hamelin (O.R., viii. p. 197). This shows a panicle of about 
thirty flowers, with somewhat acuminate white sepalsand petals, and a 
.
