140 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1912. 
which is supposed to be still undetermined, bearing rather large white 
flowers, and on the coast of Madagascar just opposite Sainte Marie he 
found again E. Elisabethe—another definite and interesting fact.” We 
suspect that the other species alluded to may be E. Hamelinii, though we 
have no definite record of its habitat. 
It has since been stated that E. Peetersiana grows on the stems and 
branches of Pandanus. The species has now flowered in several collections, 
and among them at Kew, where there is a fine plant. It is very handsome 
when in flower, though rather troublesome to deal with, on account of its 
size. The leaves are three to four feet long, by nearly six inches broad, and 
the spike ultimately attains a height of five to six feet. It may be added 
that some time ago the Glasnevin plant bore a capsule, as the result of 
crossing with the pollen of E. Elisabethz obtained from Kew, but we have 
not heard whether seedlings were obtained. KA, KR. 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS FROM WALTON GRANGE. 
A BEAUTIFUL series of Odontoglossums is sent from the collection of 
W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. W. Stevens. 
Particularly interesting are three forms of O. crispum X Wilckeanum, which 
must be referred to O. mirum, though we should have called them 
blotched forms of O. crispum had they appeared among imported plants. 
They vary somewhat in shape and in the details of the lip, but all have white 
ground colour, with copious blotches. We regard them as proving the 
origin of one set of ‘‘ blotched crispums”’ beyond dispute. There are five 
diverse forms of O. Pescatorei X Ossulstonii, having broad lips most like 
the former in shape, and four have the segments heavily blotched all over 
with purple, but the fifth is white, with much fewer purple spots, recalling 
a blotched Pescatorei. O. Pescatorei X armainvillierense is a large flower, 
heavily blotched with purple on a white ground, a really charming thing. 
O. crispum X Vuylstekei has broad, somewhat acuminate, white sepals and 
petals, very heavily blotched with claret purple, and the lip broadly margined 
with white. O. Ossulstonii X eximium has rather elongated claret purple 
segments, with a few obscure whitish splashes, and the lip has a small white 
apex and a yellow crest. O. spectabile x Vuylstekei, though somewhat 
similar in colour, has much broader segments, and the petals are toothed. 
O. Adriane X Ossulstonii is a charming round flower, with white ground- 
colour, copiously blotched with red-purple. There are three forms of O. 
cirrhosum X Ossulstonii, all most like the former in shape, and the two 
smaller copiously blotched with red-brown, while the other is most like O. 
cirrhosum in colour, but has broader segments, especially the lip. O. 
excellens eugenes X Harryanum recalls a form of O. Rolfeze, of which latter 
a very fine form is also enclosed. A form of O. amabile (spectabile x
