126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL 1906 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SEVERAL beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of R. le Doux, Esq, — 
— ay, jes cig by Mr. Davenport. There are three forms of — 
the variety marlfieldiense having a large flower, 
ae re; petals broad and much blotched with brown. A second is typical 
in size, but most of the spots on the petals are confluent into one. The 
others are a good dark O. triumphans, the chaste Dendrobium x Apollo 
album, D. x Ainsworthii amcenum, a beautiful white form having a very 
large feathered blotch on the lip, D. x A. splendidissimum, and three very 
distinct forms of D. nobile, namely, the pure white D. n. album, D.n. 
Balliz, having the disc of the lip pink, and a curious form with a large 
maroon-purple blotch on the inner halves of the lateral sepals, as in D. n 
burfordiense. This is said to have been purchased as a seedling from 
D. n. nobilius X D. n. Cooksonianum, a point which we should like to have 
confirmed, as it would be very curious to find that the blotch on the petals 
of D. n. Cooksonianum could be transferred to the sepals in this way. The 
plant is said to be very small at present. 
Two racemes of the pretty little Calanthe rubens are sent from the 
collection of Mrs. Fielden, Grimston Park, Tadcaster, by Mr. Clayton, who 
remarks that they were sent home from the Federated Malay States. It is 
like a miniature edition of C. vestita, and the flowers in this case are light 
pink, with a darker crimson eye. The species is known to vary from pure 
white to rosy crimson. 
A number of beautiful Orchids are sent from the collection of J. J: 
Neale, Esq., of Penarth. First must be mentioned a beautiful inflorescence — 
of Oncidium Cebolleta with six side branches and an aggregate of over 
fifty bright yellow flowers spotted with red-brown on the sepals and petals. 
Mr. Haddon remarks that the plant is grown in a basket suspended from 
the roof of the Warm house, and looks quite a picture with its pendulous 
leaves and six Bp — There is also a five-branched inflorescence 
of Epidend , and flowers of the beautiful Cattley# 
Lueddemanniana, a fine C, _Triane from a small imported plant, C- T.
