APRIL, 1906.| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 127 
radiosa, Rodriguezia secunda, Cymbidium pendulum, and Pleurothallis 
elachopus, one of the smaller species of the genus. 
Two beautiful natural hybrid Odontoglossums are sent from the 
collection of W. J. Armstrong, Esq., Low Wood Hall, Nether Wasdale, 
Cumberland, namely O. x Wilckeanum, a fairly typical form, and a very 
fine O, X Adrian, with broad segments and more of the crispum shape 
than usual. The ground colour is cream yellow, and the spots are some- 
what aggregated towards the centre. They came out of an importa- 
tion by M. Fl. Claes, of Brussels, and the circumstance suggests the 
possibility of the appearance of a hybrid between O. luteopurpureum and 
O. Hunnewellianum, which we have more than once suspected. Perhaps 
M. Claes can tell us if his plants came from a single district or not. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, 
Vincent Square, Westminster, during April, on the 3rd and 17th, when the 
Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. The 
subjects chosen for the special competition on these dates are:—April 3rd, 
Cymbidium and its hybrids; and Masdevallia and its hybrids; April 17th, 
Odontoglossum crispum, Pescatorei and triumphans, spotted and unspotted, 
with their hybrids. This should bring together an interesting display. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold 
meetings at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on April 5th and 26th. The 
Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to sn ey from 
1 to 3 o'clock. 
A new horticultural sauna has just made its appearance, entitled the 
Irish Gardener. The first issue (March) contains an interesting account of 
the Royal Botanical Gardens, Glasnevin, with an illustration showing a 
corner in one of the Orchid Houses, and a portrait of the genial Curator, 
Mr. F. W. Moore, A.L.S. 
The Spring number of the Journal of Horticulture (March 8th) contains 
an article entitled ‘‘ The Orchid Revolution,” by Mr. R. A. Rolfe, which is 
continued and concluded in the issue for March 22nd.
