42 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [FEBRUARY, IQT0. 
page 145 of our last volume, and has clearly more of the niveum shape than 
the one now figured. The foliage has that beautiful mottled character seen 
in P. x Helena, which is known to have been derived from P. bellatulum, 
and the flower is wax-like, and of the purest white, with a few very minute 
purple dots on the lower part of the dorsal sepal. Whatever its origin, it is 
a very showy thing, and one of the best whites we possess. 
The plant has now passed into the collection of H. J. Craven, Esq., The 
Beeches, Keighley, and received a First-class Certificate and a Silver Medal 
from the Manchester Orchid Society on December 2nd last. 
ORCHIDS FROM FAIRLAWN, PUTNEY. 
A NUMBER of beautiful Orchids are sent from the collection of H. 5. 
Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr. Day. Odontoglossum X St. 
Peter is a charming thing, derived from O. X Rolfe x amabile, and has 
cream-coloured flowers tinged with rose, and very densely spotted with 
chocolate brown, the apex of the lip being white and the crest yellow. 
Another, derived from O. Vuylstekei x Rolfez, is also of excellent shape, 
and has deep red-brown petals, with a narrow yellowish margin and a few 
whitish markings at the base and apex, the sepals having a little more 
yellow at the apex, and two narrow irregular transverse bars, while the lip 
is white, with much purple blotching round the crest. 
A series of hybrid Paphiopedilums illustrates their value as winter- 
blooming plants. They include the beautiful unspotted P. x aureum 
virginale; P. X Leonidas album, with a general resemblance to the 
preceding, but having broader petals and a few spots at the base of the 
dorsal sepal; a beautifully spotted variety of the same hybrid called 
Noblesse, P. x Leeanum, Monkeholme var., with a very densely spotted 
dorsal sepal ; a very fine P. x Euryades ; the striking P. x Beeckmanii ; a large 
and richly-coloured form of P. x Vacuna (Rothschildianum x villosum); P. x 
Salomonz var. Goodsonianum (Spicerianum magnificum x Lathamianum), 
a very large flower with broad villosum-like petals ; the finely-spotted P. x 
Herbert Goodson, in which much of the character of P. Sanderianum is 
retained ; and P. X Austin Chamberlain (King Edward VII. x Chamber- 
lainianum), most like the latter in shape, but much enlarged, and the 
dorsal sepal light yellow, with lines of reddish purple spots, which are 
confluent in the centre, the undulate obtuse petals somewhat suffused and 
much spotted with red purple, and the front part of the lip suffused with 
the same colour. P. X King Edward VII. is said to have been derived 
from P. x nitens x Rothschildianum, but we fail to trace the influence of 
the latter or of P. villosum in the-hybrid mentioned. 
All the flowers are splendidly developed, affording evidence of excellent 
culture. coe
