300 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OcToBER, 1910. 
were numerous, and in thriving condition, but must be left until they flower 
Seed capsules were also noted on Odontoglossum Cervantesii and other 
species. In an adjoining house some seeds obtained from O. Edwardii 
crossed with Miltonia vexillaria were germinating well, and we noted a few 
good O. crispum and O. X Rolfez in flower. 
A small Mexican house is devoted entirely to white Lelia anceps, nearly 
all the varieties being represented, and we found the plants in vigorous 
health, and the spikes already beginning to push up, promising a good 
display of bloom in the autumn. In the next house, devoted chiefly to 
Odontoglossums and cool Cypripediums, we saw a nice lot of Cochlioda 
Neetzliana in bloom, with C. vulcanica, Odontoglossum Lindleyanum, O. 
Pescatorei, Maxillaria grandiflora, and a nice lot of Oncidium macranthum. 
“A capsule on the latter was the result of crossing with Odontoglossum 
Kramerianum, which should be interesting if seedlings are obtained. A 
capsule of Odontoglossum crispum xX Ada aurantiaca was also pointed out. 
In a Cattleya house we saw C. X Germania with a fine truss of eleven 
flowers, C. Harrisoniana, C. Warscewiczii and a few C. Gaskelliana, Lzlio- 
cattleya Baroness Schréder, Brassolelia Jessopi, Oncidium Kramerianum, 
and several Epiphronitis Veitchii. Attempts have been made to cross this 
hybrid with both its parents, but without success. There was a good plant 
of Brassavola nodosa x Cattleya Triane, a number of capsules of 
Sophronitis grandiflora, of various Cattleyas, and one from Thunia X 
Bletia Shepherdii. In the next house were a lot of Cattleya seedlings, 
including various crosses from C. labiata and C. Dowiana, also a number of 
Cymbidiums, with a good Dendrobium regium in bloom and a lot of D. 
Phalznopsis in spike. 
A Cymbidium house contained a lot of established plants, with a few 
seedlings, and here we noticed several C. callosum Sanderz in bloom, with 
one flower of C. insigne Sandere. There were also several Miltonia 
vexillaria in bloom, including the variety superba, and some were bearing 
capsules. Odontoglossum x Adriane was also in bloom, with a few good 
O. crispum, a couple of O. x loochristiense, one of them having brown bars 
on the sepals, and a blotch on the lip, while the petals were clear 
unspotted yellow—a bright and attractive form. 
We now entered the three large Odontoglossum houses, which are 
filled with established plants, the majority being good forms of O. crispum 
grown for cut blooms, and many of them showing great vigour. Some good 
white and rosy forms of O.crispum were in bloom, and many others were 
showing spikes. One good form had a distinct tinge of yellow in the 
flowers, while a plant of O. c. virginale is said to have invariably a tinge of 
this colour when the flowers open. One of the plants had a fine panicle 
with six side branches and an aggregate of forty-three flowers, recalling
