NOVEMBER, I910.| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 347 
Appendix to the third edition of Blanco’s Flora de Filipinas. This is 
evident from the work itself, for at page 230 we read: ‘‘ Microstylis 
odorata, . . . Boxall, natione Britannicus, his in ins. Philipp. Orchid 
diligentissimus collector, anno 1880-81, ms. inscripta ‘ List of Orchids 
growing in the Philippine islands,’ fide S, Vidal in litteris et ms.’’ In this 
enumeration we find over 50 Orchids included on his authority alone, 
though several of them are unknown to us, and a few are obvious mistakes 
of spelling, &c. It was probably only a rough collector’s list, and not 
intended for publication, at all events in that form, and without revision. 
One of the plants, however, we are able to identify, for Vanda Vidalii 
Boxall (p. 240), is a synonym of V. lamellata Boxallii, as Senor Vidal 
personally informed us many years ago. He it was who told Boxall about 
the plant, and he expressed some disappointment about its scarcity on a 
subsequent visit to the locality. 
Boxall received one of the original Victoria Medals of Horticulture 
from the R.H.S. in 1897, and was elected a member of the Orchid 
Committee in 1902, on which he remained until his death. He was married 
in 1874, and leaves a widow, but no family, his only daughter having died 
in infancy. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A HANDSOME flower of Cattleya Dowiana aurea is sent from the collection 
of Leopold de Rothschild, Esq., Gunnersbury House, Acton, by Mr. 
Hudson. It has clear yellow sepals and petals, and the lip is copiously 
veined with deep golden yellow, except for a very small area at the apex, 
which is deep velvety crimson. It is a very charming Cattleya. 
Odontoglossum X Marietta is a handsome hybrid raised in the collec- 
tion of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill, Bishops Waltham (gr. Mr. Kench), 
from Odontoglossum Lambeauianum xX Rolfee. It is a small plant, but 
has produced a spike of twelve flowers, one of which is now sent. It is of 
good shape, and the sepals and petals are regularly spotted with purple on 
a rosy ground, while the lip is white in front, and closely blotched with 
dark brown round the crest. The column wings are denticulate. It 
contains the same three species as O. x Lambeauianum, but in different pro- 
portions, for while the latter is half O. crispum and one quarter each O. 
Pescatorei and O. Harryanum, the novelty is one quarter crispum and 
three-eighths of each of the other two. It is a very pretty hybrid. It is 
the third novelty which has flowered in the collection this year, the. others 
being O. X Hilda and O. X Maritana. 
Two pretty hybrids are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. J. 
Chamberlain, M.P., Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay. Lelio- 
cattleya Sarah is said to have been derived from L.-c. Amelia x Cattleya X
