THE ORCHID REVIEW. 29 
amount of damage will be done for another year. When buying newly 
imported Cattleyas look well into them and search for imperfect pseudo- 
bulbs and examine them closely to see if the fly has been the cause of the 
mischief, and if so, a hole will be found somewhere near the base of the 
crippled growth, from whence the fly escaped on reaching maturity. It 
does not follow that the plant is still affected, but it is probably so, and 
should be kept under strict surveillance.

ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
At the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting at the Drill Hall, James 
Street, Westminster, on November 26th last, Orchids were exhibited in 
rather smaller numbers than usual, though several interesting things were 
shown. 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr.

platycolor, raised from C. concolor and C. Stonei platytenium. It bore an 
inflorescence of three flowers and one bud, cream white flushed with rose, 
and with numerous minute purple dots on the sepals and petals. He also 
received a Botanical Certificate for Arundina chinensis (A. Philippii). 
T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester (gr. Mr. Johnson),
