and petals, and a large, pure white blotch at the apex of the very dark 
purple lip. Var. Daintiness is not so good in shape or color, but has a much 
larger white area, running right back into the throat, and veined with light 
purple. Lelio-cattleya X Canhamiana var. Rex has pure white sepals and 
petals, like an enlarged Lelia purpurata, and a large lip of the richest 
purple-crimson, with a narrow white margin—a gem of the first water ; 
while L.-c. X Fascinator nobilior is a noble flower with light magenta- 
purple lip and blush white sepals and petals. The flowers are all splendidly 
developed, and are excellent examples of good culture. 
Other gems are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. Joseph 
Chamberlain, M.P., by Mr. Mackay. Léelio-cattleya X eximia is a large 
and very richly coloured hybrid, in which the best qualities of Lelia 
purpurata and Cattleya Warneri are combined. L.-c. x Dora is 
from C. Schroedere albens x L.-c. X Hippolyta var. Phoebe, and has 
salmon-coloured sepals and petals, and a very rich orange throat to the lip. 
There are two forms of the beautiful Brassocattleya x Thorntoni and B.-c. 
x Pocahontas, the latter described at page 174 of our eleventh volume. 
Lastly we may mention Messrs. Veitch’s interesting Lzlio-cattleya x 
Mardellii, and a small light form of Odontoglossum x Coradinei out of an 
importation of O. crispum. 
A flower of Odontoglossum crispum Stella is sent from the collection of 
R. le Doux, Esq., West Derby, Liverpool, by Mr. Davenport. It is a large 
white form, with rather elongated segments, which have a purple line-like 
blotch at the base. It is from a small plant, with only three flowers, but 
the presence of an additional round blotch on the dorsal sepal and two on 
one of the lateral suggests that it may vary somewhat when the plant 
becomes strong. 
A fine inflorescence of the bright yellow Cyrtopodium Andersonii is sent 
from the collection of Mrs. T. Fielden, Grimston Park, Tadcaster, by Mr. 
Clayton, together with a good form of Cattleya Mendelii and Maxillaria 
grandiflora. The Cyrtopodium is a very imposing plant when well grown, 
but takes up considerable space, or it would be more commonly grown. 
A spike of the interesting Cymbidium Schreederi, which was exhibited 
at the R.H.S. meeting on May Ist, is sent from the collection of F. M. 
Ogilvie, Esq., The Shrubbery, Oxford. It is an ally of C. Lowianum, and 
is one of Messrs. Sander’s Annamese importations. Its history was given 
at page 39 of our present volume. 
A flower of the charming little Odontoglossum Cervantesii punctatissi- 
mum, from a recently-imported plant, is sent by Capt. J. B. H. Goodden, 
Compton House, Sherborne, Dorset, accompanied by a photograph. The 
flower is prettily tinged with lilac, and spotted with brown atthe base of the 
segments. A photograph of the handsome O. Rossii rubescens is also sent.
