NoOvEMBER, 1907.]| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 351 
Returning to the subject of our journey, it was in this district of Paso 
del Macho that I found on a former occasion a few plants of the pretty little 
Oncidium stramineum, but a diligent search this time failed to reveal a 
single plant. So, adding an occasional plant of O. maculatum and some 
botanical flotsam and jetsam, we retraced our steps, arriving in time to catch 
the down train to Vera Cruz. J. C. Harvey.

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A very beautiful hybrid from the collection of William Thompson, Esq., 
Walton Grange, Stone, received a First-class Certificate from the Man- 
chester Orchid Society on October 3rd last, under the name of Cypripedium 
X waltonense. Mr. Stevens, in sending the flower, remarks that it was 
purchased asa seedling of unknown parentage. We believe it is from C. 
Curtisii and C. niveum, as the flower is white, tinged and dotted with light 
purple, and the broad dorsal sepal closely and neatly ciliate. It thus 
appears to be a variety of C. X Cowleyanum. 
Several interesting Orchids are sent by Messrs. A. J. Keeling & Sons, 
Westgate Hill, Bradford, including the beautiful Miltonia x Bluntii, 
‘Oncidium raniferum, a small flowered species found in an importation of O. 
varicosum, Lzlio-cattleya Millie (L. Jongheana x L.-c. Ernesti), having 
small buff-coloured flowers with a much crisped lip, the distinct. Paphio- 
pedilum glaucophyllum, and P. X Eismannianum superbum, in which the 
characters of P. x Harrisianum and P. Charlesworthii are combined.

ODONTOGLOSSUM CRISPUM VAR. LEONARD PERFECT.—We are indebted 
to Mr. R. Brooman-White, of Arddarroch, for the early history of this 
beautiful variety, which was figuredat page 265. Mr. White purchased some 
imported O. crispum from Mr. H. A; Treaty, of Twickenham, and out of 
this batch Leonard Perfect flowered. It was not thought much of the first 
year, but when exhibited at the Temple Show, in 1906, Messrs. Sander
