THE ORCHID REVIEW. 131 
The development of the flower shows that the plant is very vigorous and 
well cultivated. A flower of D. Wardianum giganteum, measuring 43 inches 
across the very broad petals, and the lip 1} inches broad, and a fine Cattleya 
amethystoglossa are also enclosed. 
It is interesting to note that the rare Coryanthes Wolfii is also flowering 
in the same collection. The history of this plant is given at page 264 of our” 
first volume. 
A spray of Oncidium ansiferum has been sent from the collection of J. 
D. Hodgson, Esq., of Newcastle-on-Tyne. The plant came from Central 
America, and is marked by its large oval flattened pseudobulbs, which are 
about four inches long. It bears two spikes, each with about forty or fifty 
flowers. 
An inflorescence of the curious little Australian Dendrobium lingue- 
forme has been sent from the collection of W. E. Ledger, Esq., Wilton 
Road, Wimbledon. It is a very interesting little plant, with flowers closely 
resembling those of D. emulum, but with a totally different leaf, being in 
fact oblong, very short and fleshy, and borne solitary on a nearly obsolete 
pseudobulb. 
A good form of Cattleya Trianz comes from the same collection, the 
flower being wholly light rosy lilac, except on the disc, and here the yellow 
blotches are replaced by a number of deep yellow nerves. 
With reference to the two-flowered scape of Lycaste Skinneri, mentioned 
at page 66, Dr. A. W. Hoisholt, of Stockton, California, writes that one has 
also appeared in his collection. A photograph of it is also enclosed. 
A photograph and flower of a curious Odontoglossum, supposed to be O. 
Rossii, is also sent from the same collection. The lip is obtuse, or very 
slightly bilobed, and possibly not yet developed, and we should like to see it 
at a future time of flowering. 
With respect to our note on Odontoglossum crispum aureum at 
page 85, Mr. Stevens writes that the reference to a plant of the same 
name receiving an Award of Merit on June rath, 1894, is a mistake made in 
our report of that meeting (supra, IL., p. 223), the name of the said plant 
being O. luteopurpureum sceptrum aureum. Readers would do well to 
make the necessary correction. 
Several fine flowers of the richly-coloured Cypripedium barbatum 
Warneri come from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq-, of Bury.
