THE ORCHPE Bay iw. 
AUGUST, 1806. [Nowaa: 
Vot. IV.] 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, James Street, Westminster, during August, on the 11th and 25th 
respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour of 
twelve o’clock, noon. 
Cattleya Warscewiczii seems to be flowering very well this season, 
probably because of the fine bright weather, which seems to suit it, as wel 
as others which flower on the completion of the young growth. Three 
very fine forms have been sent from the collection of H. H. Bolton, Esq., 
N hurch, Manchester, one of which has the petals irregularly mottled 
and streaked with rose-purple on a light ground, corresponding to the 
variety variegata described at page 278 of our last volume. A second has 
the two eyes confluent into a single one in the throat, which becomes 
nearly white in front, the usual lines down the centre being absent, and 
these peculiarities give the flower a very distinct appearance. The other is 
typical. 
Two other fine forms come from the collection of W. S. M‘Millan, 
Esq., of Maghull, near Liverpool, one being a very large light form with the 
front lobe mottled and irregularly margined with lilac, and the other typical, 
except that the eyes are nearly white. 
A fine form of C. X Hardyana also comes from the same collection, in 
which the lip is deep velvety crimson, though with only a trace of the 
golden veining of C. Dowiana aurea, and the eyes as in C. Warscewiczii. 
The sepals and petals are bright rose. 
Good flowers of Cattleya Rex also come from the same collection, and 
from that of H. H. Bolton, Esq. Both are fairly typical. It is certainly 
a very handsome Cattleya, though one of the smallest of the labiata 
group.
