328 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NovEMBER, 1906. 
include good examples of V. Sanderiana, Kimballiana, and ccerulea, while 
Listrostachys bidens is producing a profusion of racemes of small buff 
flowers. Near by is a plant of the remarkable Mystacidium infundibulare, 
with examples of Sarcanthus teretifolius and Acampe papillosa. 
The Warm house on the south side contains a nice batch of Den- 
drobium Phalznopsis and its variety Statterianum, which will make a fine 
display for some time if their natural enemy, fog, should keep away. The 
white flowers of D. formosum furnish an agreeable contrast. There isa 
fine spike of Eulophia guineensis, the handsome rosy purple flowers 
remaining fresh for some weeks. The quaint genus Catasetum is repre- 
sented by C. Christyanum, C. Trulla, C. €Erstedii, and the rare C. 
Darwinianum, while Epidendrum floribundum, E. purum, and a well- 
bloomed Oncidium flexuosum add to the display. 
The “botanical corner ”’ contains numerous objects of interest, including 
a charming little plant of Epidendrum Endresii with three spikes, Miltonia 
Roezlii alba, Bulbophyllums Dearei, grandiflorum, rufinum, crassipes, 
papillosum, and Gentilii, with Cirrhopetalum refractum and C. blepharistes, 
Eulophia monophylla, Bifrenaria aurantiaca, Platyclinis rufa, Polystachya 
tessellata and P. luteola, while suspended overhead are Lanium Berkeleyi 
and Trias picta. : 
The Cattleya house is gay with bloom, and includes such fine things as 
Brassocattleya heatonensis and B.-c. Warneri xX Digbyana, a brilliant 
Lelio-cattleya Cappei, L.-c. massiliensis, Lelia Perrinii, some good 
Cattleya Bowringiana and labiata, C. Loddigesii, the rare C. Dormaniana, 
and a good C. Dowiana aurea. Oncidium obryzatum produces a fine 
compact panicle of yellow and brown flowers and is one of the best, others 
in bloom being O. varicosum var. Rogersii, O. incurvum, O. Wentworthi- 
anum, O. ornithorhynchum, and two good clumps of the neat little 
O. cheirophorum. Other attractive things are the robust and free-flowering 
Epidendrum x kewense and E. xX O’Brienianum, Brassia Lawrenceana 
and longissima, Maxillaria grandiflora, and Sobralia Lowii. This does not 
by any means exhaust the list, and the numerous things in bud promise a 
succession for some time to come. 
The Odontoglossum house has been recently reconstructed, and is now 
a span-roofed structure, running north and south, built on quite modern 
principles, with lath roller blinds, top and side ventilators of recent pattern, 
open stages with a water tank beneath, in fact with the improvements 
which experience has shown to be desirable or necessary. The plants will 
now get plenty of light during the winter, when it is so important, and the 
improved conditions and additional space should have a beneficial effect on 
the collection generally.
