294 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OCTOBER, IgI0.- 
species. Batemannia is another allied genus ofabout four species. Grobya 
is rather distinct in habit, and contains two Brazilian species. Cheira- 
denia, placed near here by Bentham, contains a single small-flowered 
species from British Guiana, which is probably not in cultivation. : 
Three other genera were included in the Cyrtopodiez by Bentham, 
namely Gongora, Lycomorium and Laczna, but they seem better placed in 
the Stanhopea group and may be left for our next paper.

ORCHIDS AT GATTON PARK, REIGATE. 
THE remarkable Australian Dendrobium cucumerinum, which takes its 
name from the resemblance of its leaves to little cucumbers, is excessively 
rare in cultivation, but we had the pleasure of seeing a plant in bloom the 
other day in the fine collection of Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., at Gatton 
Park, Reigate. It is grown on a block, suspended in a Warm house, and 
Mr. Collier remarks that it is never watered, as it seenis to get all the water 
it requires from the moisture in the house. The plant seems quite healthy, 
and was bearing a spike of its curious brownish green and white flowers. A 
plant of the rare D. Toftii was in the same house, but not in bloom. We 
noticed also good flowering examples of D. bigibbum and D. Phalznopsis, 
and a light-coloured form of the rare D. Ruckeri. In the same house other 
Dendrobiums and Spathoglottis are very successfully grown. We may now 
follow the order of our notes. 
In the Cattleya house first visited we saw a beautiful example of the 
rare C. Warscewiczii var. Frau Melanie Beyrodt, with white sepals and 
petals, and the front of the lip very richly coloured, also a fine Lelio- 
cattleya Henry Greenwood, a well-bloomed Epidendrum fragrans, the 
handsome Dendrobium regium, and the pretty little D. ciliatum, Cirrho- 
petalum Macraei, a'good example of the Dove Orchid, Peristeria elata, two 
plants of Ancistrochilus Thomsonianus,. Bulbophyllum densiflorum, and the 
West African Eulophia. Ledienii, which has much more handsomely 
variegated leaves than the Brazilian E. maculata with which it is some- 
times confused. In the next house we noted the very distinct Cattleya 
velutina, C. granulosa, Lezliocattleya gattonensis, and a plant called L.-c. 
Philip Stiles, bearing spotted flowers, with Epidendrum alatum, Phaius 
flavus, and a few others which we may pass over. 
On reaching the Odontoglossum house, we noted about two dozen spikes 
of Odontioda Bradshawie, making a very brilliant display, with several 
plants of Odontoglossum:,xX Thompsonianum in flower and bud, O. 
Harryanum, O. ramosissimum, O. x armainvillierense augustum, a seedling 
from two blotched forms of O. crispum, bearing a strong spike of buds,
