222 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JULY, 1907, 
broad coppery rose sepals and petals, and a reddish purple lip, witha little 
yellow veining radiating from the orange-yellow lip and a similar mottling 
on the side lobes. We agree with Mr. Chapman in considering the P. 
Humblotii hybrids as the best of the series. 
COCHLIODA NCZETZLIANA AS A PARENT. 
Tur remark at page 181 that Cochlioda Neetzliana cannot be successfully 
used as a pollen parent is, we are informed, incorrect. Although generally 
usedas the seed parent, it is said that there are seedlings from reversed crosses 
in existence, but further information is at present withheld. A similar 
remark applies to Odontoglossum Edwardii, in which connection we may 
call attention to the record, on ‘page 195, of a capsule of Odontoglossum xX 
elegans crossed with O. Edwardii in Baron Schréder’s collection. 
ORCHIDS AT KEW. 
_A NoBLE specimen of the handsome Stanhopea tigrina is flowering frzely at 
Kew, their being four racemes and nine flowers, while other spikes are. 
following on. S. insignis and S. ecornuta are also flowering well. There 
ds a good spike on the rare Vanda Parishii, and near by Angrecum Scottil, 
-and the fine A. Eichlerianum, with Aérides odoratum and A. falcatum 
(Leonie. Bulbophyllum barbigerum is producing three fine racemes. 
Brassia verrucosa is being three spikes, and, curiously enough, four flowers 
on one spike and three on another have the lips reduced to thread like 
appendages. The beautiful Sophrocattleya Chamberlainiana is again in 
bloom, with quite a series of Oncidiums. Other interesting things are the old 
‘Scuticaria Steelii, Notylia Huegelii, and Ornithocephalus grandiflorus. The 
wusual showy species of the season are making a fine display.
