of yellow in the throat. L. prestans alba approaches the nearest to this 
condition of any form we have yet seen, but this has some purple on 
the lip. 
Another form of Cattleya Lueddemanniana has flowered in the same 
collection, this one being of great size, as the flower sent measures 9} inches 
in diameter across the petals. The latter are 2% inches broad, and the 
front lobe of the lip a little narrower. 
Several beautiful flowers have been sent from the collection of T. 
Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester, by Mr. Johnson, 
including Leelio-cattleya x Nysa superba, with very richly coloured lip, 
L.-c. X elegans blenheimensis, and three varieties of the beautiful Dendro- 
bium Phalenopsis, all of them very useful autumn flowering things. 
Some little difference occurs in the colour of the markings on the lip of 
Dendrobium formosum, and this is very marked in two flowers sent from 
the collection of Reginald Young, Esq., of Sefton Park, Liverpool, one of 
them having the disc chrome yellow, and the other distinctly orange, 
forming a striking contrast. 
Other beautiful flowers from the same collection are Vanda Sanderiana, 
Miltonia spectabilis Moreliana, a fine flower of Cyprip' x Youngi 
the uppermost and smallest of a spike of three, the pretty little Lelia 
Lucasiana, and a good form of Lzlio-cattleya x Schilleriana.

We have received from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. the Catalogue of 
the Selly Hill collection of Orchids, which they are now offering for sale, 
comprising over two thousand lots. It comprises all but the unflowered 
seedlings, and plants with seedlings growing on the pots, which will be 
included in a later catalogue. We note, however, many plants with seeds 
sown on the pots not yet visibly germinating, and others carrying seed-pods 
of which the parentage is given. On plants of Sophronitis grandiflora, for 
example, there are seed-pods representing crosses with Cattleya Gaskelliana, 
C. labiata, C. Loddigesii, C. maxima, Lelia Dayana, L. harpophylla, and 
Epidendrum x Endresio-Wallisii. The Catalogue contains a large number 
of choice things. 
A fine flower of Miltonia spectabilis Moreliana has been sent from the 
collection of W. S. M’Millan, Esq., of Maghull, near Liverpool. The 
sepals and petals are very dark, and the lip 2% inches broad. 
_With respect to the seedling Vanda, mentioned at page 280, Mr. Mead 
writes that he now suspects the plant may have come from a seed of some
