216 ° THE ORCHID REVIEW. [Juny, 1907. 
W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange (gr. Mr. Stevens), exhibited a — 
very fine Cypripedium bellatulum of good shape and size, densely 
spotted with dark chocolate (A.M.), 
G. W. Jessop, Esq., Rawdon, Leeds, gained an Award of Merit for 
Dendrobium Parishii var. exquisitum, and a Bronze Medal for a good 
group of Cattleyas, Lelias, ‘Odontoglossums, &c., with the ih 
little Promenza stapelioides. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, staged a very effective 
mixed group, gracefully relieved by good plants of Masdevallia Harryana 
and M. X falcata, gaining a Silver Medal. Conspicuous among them 
was a good Cattleya xX Empress Frederick, the rare Zygopetalum X 
Roeblingianum (A.M.), and a very dark Cypripedium x Curtisii. 
Messrs. J. Cypher*& Sons, Cheltenham, were awarded a Silver Medal 
for a nice group, including some good Cattleya Mossiz and Mendelii, 
Odontoglossums, and others. Specially conspicuous was a good Cypri- 
pedium X Mary Beatrice (A.M.), and a fine plant of Lelio-cattleya 
Martinetii flavescens, with beautiful fawn sepals and petals and a dark 
purple lip. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Enfield, set up a fine group of Cattleya 
Mendelii, in the centre of which stood a fine specimen plant of C. inter- 
media alba (Silver Medal). 
Messrs, Armstrong & Brown, Tunbridge Wells, gained both an Award 
of Merit and a Cultural Certificate for a very good Odontoglossum 
nevium. 
Messrs. A. h Keeling & Sons, Bradford, staged a nice little group, in 
which I was pleased to see several of what are known as botanical Orchids, 
Bulbophyllum, Acroperas, &c. I am told these plants are coming largely 
into favour again, and indeed they are a welcome relief to the inter- 
minable Cattleyas, Cypripediums, and Odontoglossums (Bronze Medal). 
Mr. D. McLeod, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, received an Award of Merit 
for Cypripedium Lawrenceanum McLeod’s var. H. T.

OPHRYS MUSCIFERA VIRESCENS.—A green variety of the Fly Orchis, 
Ophrys muscifera, has been discovered in a small copse at Wye, near Ash- 
ford, Kent, by Mr. G. W. Harris, joint discoverer with Mr. H. Walker, of 
the natural hybrid Ophrys x hybrida in Britain two years ago (O.R. xiii. 
Pp. 23, fig. 56). In the normal form the antennz-like petals and the lip, 
except a white glaucous area in the centre of the latter, are dark purple, but 
in the present form this pigment is suppressed. It is a case of albinism’ 
and is probably analagous with a green flowered form discovered by Heget- 
schweiler in Switzerland many years ago (Fl. der Schweiz, p. 784). The 
flowers are preserved at Kew. R.A. R.
