260 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool. It is a good form of C. x 
apiculatum, and the spots of C. Boxallii are well shown. In the lower 
flower the lateral sepals are free, a character occasionally seen in this genus. 
A plant of Cypripedium Godefroy, in the same collection, is now 
bearing ten fine flowers, and as the plant was purchased in September, 
1888, it is evident that the treatment set forth by Mr. Young, at page 45 of 
the present volume, is the correct one. The species of this group grow and 
flower freely enough under proper treatment. 
Flowers of the charming little Odontoglossum X aspersum violaceum 
have also been sent from the same collection. The front lobe of the lip 
is suffused with light purple, and the petals broadly margined with a deeper 
shade of the same, while the sepals and the base of the petals are barred 
with deep brown. It is a very brilliantly coloured form. : 
A very beautiful flower of Cattleya Eldorado virginalis comes from the 
collection of E. J. Sidebott Esq., Erlesdene, Bowdon, Cheshire. The 
plant is a newly-imported one, and bore a spike of three flowers. The 
sepals and petals are pure white, and the throat deep orange. The history 
of the species was given at page 301 of our second volume. 
Trich longical (Rolfe) is a remarkable little species now 
flowering in the rich collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, 
Dorking. The flowers are white, slightly tinged with pale green, the disc 
of the lip yellow with two orange keels and a small maroon blotch at their 
apex. The column is short and broad, with fimbriate wings, and a purple 
pubescent anther-case. The spur is 1} inches long, nearly three times as 
long as the rest of the flower. It has recently been named at Kew. 
A photograph of a fine plant of Selenipedium caudatum Wallisii has 
been sent from the collection of W. C. Clarke, Esq., Sefton Park, 
Liverpool, showing three spikes, each with three flowers. Mr. Clarke thinks 
from the new growths that it will have twice as many flowers next time. 
Reverting to our article on Cattleya x Hardyana at page 241, we learn 
that the handsome varieties Statteriana and Countess of Derby were 
obtained from the importations of Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., of Heaton, 
Bradford; also the fine Selwood variety, which realised the highest 
individual price at the Selwood Sale, namely, 140 guineas. In 1889 a plant 
of C. xX Hardyana and two of the variety Massaiana flowered in the 
collection of E. G. Wrigley, Esq., Howick House, Preston, which realised 
at the sale 95, 90, and 60 Suineas, respectively. These also were from é 
Messrs. Charl h’s importati It is always interesting to know the 
origin of choice varieties of any kind.
