130 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
A remarkable flower of Cattleya Trianze comes from the collection of 
W. Thompson, Esq., of Stone, in which the lower edge of each petal is 
completely united to the column, and thus forms a lip-like organ above 
the ordinary lip and partly within it, giving a most curious appearance to 
the flower. 
Two flowers of Dendrobium Wardianum come from the collection of 
Major-General E. S. Berkeley, of Southampton, in which the petals are 
absent, or in reality metamorphosed into anthers, for there are three anthers 
side by side on the back of the column. Thus they are in the same condi- 
tion as the abnormal flowers of D. nobile mentioned on page 132. 
Several fine forms of Dendrobium nobile from imported plants come 
from the collection of W. P. Burkinshaw, Esq., of Hessle, including two 
nearly equal to the variety giganteum, and one in which the upper halves of 
the sepals and petals, and apex of the lip, are of a peculiar purplish rose, 
with a slight flush of salmon colour. It is very distinct and pretty, and 
may bear the name of D. n. roseum. 
A very pretty form of Cattleya Triane comes from the same collection, 
in which the flower is rosy-lilac throughout, except the disc, on which the 
yellow is almost entirely confined to the radiating veins. 
Several fine Odontoglossums have been sent from the collection of R. 
Brooman White, Esq., of Arddarroch, including a heavily-blotched form of 
O. crispum, allied to the variety apiatum, O. X Humeanum aspersum, 0. x 
Andersonianum lobatum, and O. x A. egregium, the last-named having 
the sepals and petals somewhat suffused with purple on a yellow ground, 
and heavily spotted with dark brown, giving it a very distinct appearanc® 
An exceptionally large form of O. x Andersonianum is also enclosed, which 
at first sight might be taken for something else. The shape of the lip, 
however, and the arrangement of the column wings and crest, are quite 
typical.
