Aucust, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 25% 
two Cattleya x William Murray were already in bloom, and here we saw 
some Sophronitis crosses germinating freely. There was a nice batch of 
plants, though Mr. Bound, like others, finds that they grow very slowly. 
One seedling Coelogyne was growing away from others of the same batch 
in a curious way, these being mostly slow growers. 
In another house we saw some Epidendrum xX Boundii which have 
been flowering continuously since the last Temple show, and Lelio-cattleya 
Nysa producing a four-flowered inflorescence on a pseudobulb from which 
no leaf has developed. Here also were some good Cirrhopetalum Cumingii, 
a richly coloured Cypripedium bellatulum, several very good C. concolor, the 
rare Vanda Denisoniana, and a richly coloured hybrid from Lezelio-cattleya 
Schilleriana x Cattleya Lawrenceana. 
In the Corridor we saw a lot of the deep yellow Spathoglottis aurea, and 
several of the handsome S. X Colmanii. One clear yellow form came out 
of the same pod as the latter. Here were growing well a batch of hybrid 
Dendrobiums. In the next division of the Corridor was a fine batch of 
Phaius X Norman in flower, now rather past its best, but still a picture, 
and here were three seedlings from Epidendrum radicans ¢ and Diacrium 
bicornutum ¢, one of which has flowered. Epidendrum x Boundii was 
making a good show, and has been so all the winter. A seedling from it 
crossed with E. xanthinum was in bloom, and differed chiefly in being more 
yellow in colour. Another seedling with Brassavola Digbyana as the pollen 
parent has the usual Epidendrum habit, but the glaucous leaves showed the 
Brassavola influence, and flowers are awaited with interest. E. x Boundii 
has also been crossed with another hybrid Epidendrum (said to be from E. 
X O’Brienianum xX cochleatum), and some of the seedlings are said to have 
been much like the seed parent, and others like E. X O’Brienianum with 
a bright yellow disc. These hybrid Epidendrums are remarkably florifer - 
ous and very useful for cut flowers. We saw also the curious Epilelia 
radico-purpurata and a few Epiphronitis Veitchii. ; 
In the Cattleya house were many good C. Mossi in bloom, both white 
and coloured, and one curious flower had a segment half petal and half lip, 
while the opposite petal was suppressed. Among Lelia purpurata a 
variety called Black Prince had an exceptional amount of purple on the 
segments. There were also some brilliant Lelio-cattleya Phoebe, 
Vanda teres, the handsome Sophrolelia Psyche, and various other fine 
things in flower and bud. 
In another Warm house was a fine series of over thirty plants of Cattleya 
x William Murray in flower, showing much variation, the result of crossing 
and reversing C. Lawrenceana and C. Mendelii (both having been 
used as the seed parent). There were also some excellent Lelio-cattleya 
G. S. Ball, raised in the collection, the beautiful Miltonia x Bleuana, many
