THE ORCHID REVIEW. 99 
A four-flowered raceme of a most beautiful form of Cattleya Schreedere 
is sent from the collection of Hamar Bass, Esq., Byrkley, Burton-on-Trent, 
by Mr. Hamilton. The flowers are nearly pure white, with just the 
faintest trace of delicate blush, and the usual light orange disc. The petals 
are 2} inches broad, and the lip beautifully undulate. 
Arichly-coloured flower of C. Lueddemanniage isalso sent from the same 
collection, which has the peculiarity that the dorsal sepal is completely 
united to one of the petals, and yet retains its characteristic texture and 
venation. It is probably an accidental malformation. 
Among the European terrestrial Orchids in the collection of H. J. Elwes, 
Esq., Colesbourne, Gloucestershire, are some good forms of Orchis militaris, 
O. longicruris, and Serapias Lingua, of which we have received examples. 
They are very pretty little plantsand succeed well, the latter increasing freely. 
Some fine flowers of Miltonia Roezlii and its variety alba are also 
enclosed, together with the charming little Pleione humilis tricolor, and 
Cymbidium madidum with 32 flowers. ; 
A distinct and beautiful form of Cattleya Triane not mentioned in 
our list at pages 114 and 199 of our last volume is the variety lilacina, now 
flowering in the collection of Baron Sir H. Schréder, The Dell, Egham. 
The front of the lip is lilac-purple, the disc yellow, and the rest of the 
flower pure white. 
The middle of March is late for Cypripedium insigne Sandere, yet 
we have received a beautiful flower from the collection of E. H. Woodall, 
Esq., of Scarborough. We suspect it has been grown very cool. The 
flower is of a brilliant clear yellow. 
Flowers of the beautiful Cypripedium X Cycnides and CAISC oy eee 
Lloyd, noted at p- 304 of our last volume, are again sent from the 
collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham, to show how different 
they are, although both are said to have been derived from C. X 
Swanianum and C. bellatulum. Mr. Measures remarks that the former 
shows so much of C. barbatum, both in the leaf and flower, that some 
doubt must be felt as to the records.

A magnificent flower of Lycaste Skinneri comes from the collection 
Ea, Beveis, Esq., of Oxford, in which the sepals are 33 inches oC 
Over 1% inches broad, and the petals and lip equally well qe yee 
Tmer strongly suffused with rose-purple, and the front lobe o' 
much blotched with rich crimson.
