Marcu, 190%] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 95 
Society will be held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on March 22nd. 
The Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to inspection 
from I to 3 p.m. 
A flower of the handsome Dendrobium X Othello Colossus, which 
received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. on February 13th, is sent from 
the collection of Jeremiah Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate, by Mr. 
Bound. It is of excellent shape, and all the segments are very broad, and 
suffused with rose, except on the lower halves of the petals, and round the 
very large maroon disc of the oor which parts a are white. A flower of the 
handsome Cymbidium grandi is also sent. Mr. 
Bound remarks that he never has trouble with the flowers of this species 
going off, and he attributes his success to giving the coolest possible treat- 
ment, combined with keeping the plants well up to the glass during the 
winter, so as to obtain the maximum amount of light while the spikes are 
developing. 
With respect to the article on Od 1 latychil which 
appeared at page 61, it is interesting to find that Shiars: Sander received 
an importation some time ago, and that two plants of it are in the Kew 
collectior. This removes it from the ranks of lost species, and we hope to 
see flowers of it again before long. 
A recent issue of Die Gartenwelt gives a figure of a fine lot of Lelia 
anceps in the establishment of Mr. C. Stoldt, Wansbeck-Marienthal, 
Germany (pp. 235-236). 
Indian Gardening, for Uigiesd pee &- 29), calls attention to the 
as a wild plant, and 
reported occurrence of Cyprip 
makes some deductions as to its Sle occurrence somewhere with C. 
insigne. It is an old report, which appeared in our pages long ago, but 
we could never get any confirmation, and fear that there is nothing 
in the story.
