xanthinum, with the hybrid between them, E. x _ kewense, also E. X ; 
O’Brienianum, E. verrucosum, E. Cooperianum, the pretty little E. poly- — 
bulbon, which is grown in a basket suspended from the roof, E. X 
Berkeleyi and E. Wallisii. A good plant of Coelogyne graminifolia was a 4 
mass of flowers, but the fog hastened their disappearance. Lelia Regnellit 
-is a very pretty little plant which is very rarely seen. It resembles 
Sophronitis violacea in habit, having terete leaves, but is about twice as 
large, and has small whitish flowers veined ,with purple on the lip. Tainia 
latifolia, T. viridi-fusca, and T. penangiana are in bloom, the latter carry- 
ing about a dozen spikes, while Lelia anceps Sanderiana and Oncidium 
splendidum are very handsome. 
Numerous species and hybrids of Paphiopedilum are’ in flower, and very — 
few Orchids resist fog better. They invariably make a fine display during 
the winter. Near by are Vanda Amesiana and V. Watsoni, Listrostachys : 
hamata, L. pellucida, Saccolabium giganteum, Angraecum eburneum, and 
others, also Phalenopsis denticulata, and several of the showy species, 
which, as usual, suffered much through the fog. Hzemaria discolor is pro- — 
ducing several pretty spikes of white flowers with a yellow blotch on the 4 
lip, and is very attractive. 
The Cool house contains numerous Odontoglossums, among which 0. 
nevadense, O. mirandum, O. X waltonense, O. X crispo-Harryanum, and O,

some good Lycaste Skinneri, Masdevallias, Cymbidiums and others. 
Several species and hybrids of the Cattleya group are in flower, but —

ORCHIDS FROM PENARTH. 
THE collection of Orchids grown_by J. J. Neale, Esq., of Penarth, is clearly | 
a representative one, and we have again flowers from Mr. Haddon of quite 
an interesting series. Epidendrum polybulbon is evidently represented by 
a very fine specimen, which is grown close to the glass in the Cool-inter — 
mediate house, and is now producing eighty-five blooms, and these, it may — 
be mentioned, are each borne singly on a short slender scape from the 
apex of the pseudobulb, giving the plant somewhat the appearance of @ 
Sophronitis as regards habit. Saccolabium violaceum var. Harrisonianum 
is a pretty little albino not too frequently met with. Stenorrhynchus 
speciosus is a plant of Spiranthes-like habit, sometimes referred to that 
genus, which has tall erect spikes of rosy-red flowers, and are very effective 
Oncidium Cebolleta is one of the terete-leaved species, producing erect © 
panicles of bright yellow flowers. blotched with red on the sepals and petals, 
other species represented being O. Cavendishianum and QO. serratum.
