126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [ApRIL, r907, 
ORCHIDS AT CLARE LAWN, EAST SHEEN. 
AMONG the numerous beautiful Orchids in flower at Clare Lawn the follow- 
dng may be briefly mentioned. About two dozen pans of Odontoglossum 
Rossii are flowering profusely, and with O. X Humeanum, O. nevadense, 
three good O. x Harryano-crispum, two O. X elegans with four spikes, 
‘with numerous examples of commoner species are making a very effective 
‘display. With them we noted two good Zygocolax Veitchii var. Kromeri, 
half-a-dozen Lelia Jongheana, and others, while the specimen of Cymbid- 
aum Devonianum was pushing up eight racemes. 
In another house we noted a fine plant of Cymbidium insigne, one spike 
‘producing nineteen flowers, while C. xX eburneo-Lowianum and Cypri- 
pedium hirsutissimum with four flowers were very effective. 
In the Cattleya house we noted Oncidium Cayendishianum in flower, 
-also good examples of Cattleya x porphyrophlebia, some good forms of C. 
Trianz, Miltonia X Bleuana, and a fine specimen of Brassocattleya Lind- 
leyana. 
Zygopetalum X Roeblingianum was showing several spikes, while Z. X 
Sedeni and Z. crinitum, with Zygocolax Wiganianus and various Den- 
-drobes and Cypripedes, made a nice display. 
The pretty little Oncidium tetrapetalum in the Phalznopsis house 
-attracted attention, and three spikes were pushing on Zygonisia Rolfeana, 
‘while three others had just been removed. Phaius x Norman and 
numerous other things were also in flower.
