30 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JANUARY, 1907, 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
Several interesting flowers are sent from the collection of Walter R. 
Scott, Esq., Crieff Villa, Chester-le-Street. They include Paphiopedilum — 
x politum and P. X cenanthum superbum, Cattleya x Fernand Denis, 
two forms of C. X Portia, C. Eldorado, three C. labiata, one light form 
having almost lost the characteristic veining in the throat, and the 
handsome Oncidium Forbesii; forming a brilliant little group. The four — 
first mentioned are from the collection of the late Reginald Young, Esq, 
from which source Mr. Scott remarks that he purchased many species, and 
hybrid seedlings. A flower of a seedling Paphiopedilum is also enclosed — 
which was purchased at Newcastle last spring. It appears to be a hybrid 
between P. villosum and some species near to P. Curtisii. but the exact — 
parentage is not certain. 
A flower of Odontogloosum crispum George Warocque is sent by © 
M. Fl. Claes, of Brussels. It is remarkable for having one very large solid 
rather light purple blotch on each of the sepals and petals, while the 
ground colour is pure white. The shape is good, and it should develop ; 
into a very handsome thing. 
The handsome Paphiopedilum x Thalia giganteum, to which an Award 
of Merit was given by the R.H.S. on November 21st, 1905, is again in 
flower in the collection of Francis Wellesley, Esq. A comparison with the 
variety punctatum, figured at page 107 of our thirteenth volume, shows that _ 
the spots on the dorsal: sepal are still more numerous, and rather moreé i 
confluent in lines. It is remarkably handsome. 
Flowers of the pretty little Odontoglossum platychilum are sent from q 
the collection of R. N. Hooper, Esq., of Chipping Sodbury. The plant — 
was obtained at Messrs. Protheroe & Morris’ Sale Rooms on April 14th, — 
1905, and has a bright rose ground colour, not white as in the original. 
Flowers of the beautiful Calanthe vestita, so useful at this season, are | 
sent from the collection of W. Waters Butler, Esq., of Edgbaston, 
together with a good Lelia pumila, a charming little hybrid between 4 
Cattleya Bowringiana and Lelio-cattleya Clive, and a very pretty form of 3 
Cattleya Trianz with blush white ee and petals.
