Jury, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 195 
Clark observed that it was picked up in Windsor Park about three years 
ago by one of the young gardeners. 
Other interesting things in flower in this house were a fine plant of 
Restrepia maculata, a batch of the pretty little Promenza xanthina, Disa 
x Veitchii, and three fine specimens of Masdevallia Houtteanna, in ten-inch 
baskets, crowded with flowers. Some good plants of Cynorchis compacta 
were making strong growths. They came from Natal, together with 
Stenoglottis longifolia, a few years ago. Here was a good seed-pod on 
Cymbidium insigne crossed with C. Lowianum, while, curiously enough, 
the reverse cross, made at the same time, and in the same house, was 
already sown and the seeds germinating. Some large specimens of C. 
Tracyanum and the fine C. Lowianum Tracy’s var. were pointed out, not 
mow in flower. Some fine Oncidium macranthum made a good show, 
while O. insculptum was throwing up a strong spike, and O. incurvum a 
large number. A plant of Epidendrum myrianthum album was pointed 
out as having been grown for 20 years, but refuses to flower. It was also 
interesting to see a good capsule on Odontoglossum xX elegans, obtained 
iby crossing with O. Edwardii. 
In a Dendrobium house, where the plants hung in rows from the roof, 
in thriving condition, we saw a fine bank of Vanda teres, with about 200 
‘spikes, including the varieties alba—with a trace of lilac on the base of 
the lip—aurea, and several of the very fine gigantea. They had been 
grown in the Mexican house, in full sun. 
A Cattleya house was gay with flowers, including a lot of C. Mendelii, 
Mossiz and Warscewiczii, one enormous form of the latter having a lip 
which measured over three inches across. A few C. Gaskelliana were 
already out. There was a batch of Lelia tenebrosa in flower, but L. 
\purpurata was mostly over, though one very fine dark form was note- 
‘worthy. Leelio-cattleyas made a fine show, noteworthy among them being 
ithe fine L.-c. Canhamiana alba, with white sepals and petals, and an 
intense crimson lip, L.-c. Lady Wigan, light and dark forms of L.-c. 
Martinetii, L.-c. Schilleriana Stelzneriana, which has been here over 20 
‘years, and two plants of L.-c. eximia, still one of the best and richest- 
‘coloured forms. One of these had a remarkable abnormal flower, the right- 
‘hand half of the lip being replaced by a petal-like half, while the ordinary 
petals and lateral sepal on the same side of the flower was missing. The 
‘two halves of the lip were as sharply defined as if they had been cut out and 
Stuck together. Here were also in flower the pretty little Epicattleya 
wadiato-Bowringiana, bearing spikes of nine and six flowers, Epidendrum 
atropurpureum Randii, Brassavola Digbyana, two plants of the remarkable 
Bulbophyllum barbigerum, one bearing five fine spikes, and B. Dearei. 
The next house contained a lot more Cattleyas in bloom, some fine
