200 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JULY, 1910. 
Oncidium macranthum was represented by plants in flower and bud. 
A batch of plants was purchased last year, most of which have not yet 
bloomed, and it is evident that all are not alike. It will be interesting to 
see what other species the batch contains. The distinct and striking 
O. cucullatum was also in bloom, with several plants of the brilliant 
Cochlioda Neetzliana, with which a few hybridisation experiments are being 
made. Cymbidium Lowianum was also in bloom, with a few good plants 
of Masdevallia ignea, a good plant of the tiny M. O’Brieniana with many 
blooms, the brightly-coloured M. X Rushtoni, and M. muscosa, remarkable 
for its mossy peduncles and sensitive lip. 
Cattleyas and allies are grown in quantity, and the collection contains a 
large number of choice things. About eighteen plants of C. Rex were in 
thriving condition, and in several cases buds were already showing in the 
‘Sheath. Among those in flower were Cattleya Mossia Wageneri and a 
paler form, C. M. Mrs. A. Goodson, with striped petals, the richly-coloured 
‘C. M. King Edward VII., C. Mendelii Lambeauiz, with the front of the lip 
lilac, C. X fulvescens, Leliocattleya Martinetii, L.-c. x Eva (L. tenebrosa 
x C. Gaskelliana), L.-c. Ballii, L.-c. highburiensis, L.-c. Canhamiana, 
Brassolelia Helen, a light-coloured form of Lelia x Iona, L. x Pacuvia, 
Miltonia Roezlii alba, forms of M. vexillaria and x Bleuana, and other good 
things. A fine series of Sophrocattleyas and Sophrolelias were pointed out, 
with a lot of albino Cattleyas. We noted capsules on Cattleya x Hardyana 
The Baron, and on some of the Brassocattleyas and Brassolzlias, these 
being very distinctly beaked as in the Brassavola parent. 
A small Warm house contained a plant of the rare Dendrobium 
Williamsianum, with its violet-blue lip, also Pescatorea Dayana, 
Warscewiczella Wailesiana, with Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni in bud, 
while elsewhere we noted plants of Lycaste Deppei, brevispatha and 
Jeucantha in bloom, with Lelia x Latona, Ccelogyne Massangeana, 
Dendrobium infundibulum, Cypripedium Dayanum, Curtisii, Curtisi 
nobilior, with much more white in the foliage, C. x superciliare, C. X 
Swanianum, C. Lawrenceanum, &c. We noted here some plants of Phaius 
Wallichii Sanderi and P. x Norman in thriving condition. 
Some of the plants are moved to the conservatory when in bloom, 
and there we noted some good Cattleya Mossiz, Lelia purpurata and 
tenebrosa, Masdevallia ignea, Odontoglossum crispum and Hallii, Cypri- 
pedium Lawrenceanum and Curtisii, Calanthe. veratifolia, and others, 
making a bright display. 
Mr. Goodson has paintings of most of his certificated and choice 
varieties, these being framed and suspended in a small study, forming quite 
a picture gallery, and enabling the characters of the different forms to be 
compared when not in flower together in the houses. .
