Marcu, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 79 
P. latifolia, bearing from ten to sixteen racemes of flowers, which not only 
give a graceful appearance to the plants, but fill the whole house with their 
fragrance. 
In the Botanical corner, which was noted last month, are several 
interesting items, including Maxillaria arachnites, M. flava, and 
sanguinea ; this latter is indeed a little gem, having flowers of a brownish 
appearance with a bright red centre. Other items are Bulbophyllum 
siamense, Spiranthes floribunda, Liparis nervosa, Tainia latifolia, Stenor- 
rhynchus speciosus var. maculatus, Microstylis metallica, Platyclinis arach- 
nites, Cirrhopetalum picturatum, and, suspended in a small basket above 
them, is the recently introduced C. breviscapum, together with the curious 
little Trias picta. 
The Cattleya house is also gay with several well-flowered pans of 
‘Coelogyne cristata, a few Cattleya Triane, including the variety delicata, 
with C. Loddigesii. Several Lelio-cattleyas add greatly to the effect by 
their charming colours, as L.-c. X Charlesworthii, X Myra, X Lydia, x 
Andromeda, and warnhamensis, also Lelia harpophylla, and Brasso- 
‘cattleya x Lindleyana. Among the Cymbidiums are C. Lowianum, C. x 
eburneo-Lowianum, and C. eburneum. Hanging from the roof is a plant 
-of Ornithidium coccineum, and a large clump of Dendrobium speciosum 
‘commonly known in Australia as the rock lily. 
Among the Paphiopedilums there are only a few additions to the list 
which was given last month, many of which are still in flower. The 
recent additions include P. WHaynaldianum, P. X Deedmanianum, 
P. Chamberlainianum, and P. Boxallii. Flowering in the same house are 
pens suavis and V. tricolor, Angracums citratum, eburneum, Ellisii, and 
I hys fimbriata, and several good spikes are still to 
‘be seen upon the Phalznopsis, including a plant of the rare P. Mannii. 
In the Cool house several plants of Odontoglossums crispum are still in 
flower, also O. Uroskinneri, O. bictonense, and several plants of the charming 
little O. Cervantesii, with the rare O. nevium and O. nevadense. Among 
‘conspicuous objects are several plants of the late-flowering O. grande. A 
good batch of Satyrium odorum make their presence known by their 
fragrance rather than their appéarance, the flowers being green. Near by 
is a rose-coloured form of Lycaste Skinneri, showing well against the green 
Satyriums. Among the Masdevallias are M. Veitchiana, Schroederiana, 
macrura, Mooreana, ventricularia, tridactylites, and the insignifi little 
M. simula, with the hybrids M. x Fraseri and M. X Pourbaixii, and Stelis 
Cynorchis compacta, which was mentioned last month, is
