46 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ORCHIDS OF 1895. 
A CONSIDERABLE number of novelties either flowered or were described for 
the first time during 1895, both of species and hybrids, and if each succeed- 
ing year diminishes the chances of discovering showy garden plants among 
the former, this is fully counterbalanced by the steady progress attending 
the efforts of the hybridist, whose achievements during recent years have 
been remarkable in many respects. 
Among introduced species we may commence with the remarkable 
Bulbophyllum grandiflorum from New Guinea, long known to science, 
which flowered for the first time in cultivation in March last, in the collec- 
tion of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart. Dendrobi peciosissi now 
described for the first time, is a remarkable Bornean species, allied to D. 
formosum, which was discovered by Sir Hugh Low on his ascent of Mt. 
Kina Balu in 1851, and has now been introduced both by Messrs. Hugh 
Low & Co. and by Messrs. Sander, both of whom also flowered it. Den- 
drobium sanguineum, introduced by Messrs. Low from Labuan, is 
remarkable for its crimson flowers, which, unfortunately, are rather short- 
lived. Cirrhopetalum Rothscl , the finest species in the genus, 
flowered in the collection of the Hon. Walter Rothschild, at Tring Park. 
Coelogyne Veitchiana is a species with pendulous racemes of pure white 
flowers, introduced by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons. Lueddemannia 
triloba is one of Lehmann’s introductions, which flowered in the collection 
of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., as is also Odontoglossum aspidorhinum. 
Cypripedium x Littleanum is a remarkable natural hybrid, which flowered 
in the collection of H. Little, Esq., of Twickenham, and was figured 
and described in these pages. Cymbidium x Kimballianum is a reputed 
natural hybrid which appeared with Messrs. Sander. Bollea Schroederiana 
also appeared with Messrs. Sander, as did Angrecum Eichlerianum, A. 
stylosum, Batemania peruviana, Lycaste Dyeriana, 
and some _ others. 
Maxillaria Mooreana, 
Dendrobium velutinum and Cryptophoranthus 
oblongifolius flowered with Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Trias disciflora, 
Dendrobium inflatum, and some additional varieties of Catasetum X 
splendens with Messrs. Linden, and the remarkable Luisia Cantharis with 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co. 
Several interesting 
botanical novelties flowered at Kew, as Catasetum 
Lemosii, Bulbophyll t il Ornithi 
ees gis I P > nanum, Angrecum 
Smithii, Pleurothallis rotundifolia, and Eulophia deflex: 
flowered with Major-General Berkeley, Oncidium panduratum with Welbore 
Ss. Ellis, Esq., Maxillaria parva with C. Ingram, Esq., and Cirrhopetalum 
shames with T. R. Jarvis, Esq., of Chelmsford. Megaclinium
