328 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NovemBER, 1906. 
It is now generally known as Oncidium candidum, and is placed in 
Lindley’s group Tetrapetala macropetala, yet it is quite an andémalous 
species, totally unlike any other, and its nearest affinity is still uncertain. 
Although the figure is much reduced, the shape of the flower is clearly seen, 
and it is only necessary to add that the colour is milk white, with a small 
yellow tuberculate crest.

J. Bradshaw, Esq., The Grange, Southgate (gr. Mr. Whitelegge), showed 
the handsome new Cymbidium erythrostylum (Rolfe), which gained a First-

blush tint, with some light rose spots at the base, the petals being extended 
over the column. The lip is three-lobed, with a short front lobe, the colour 
yellowish, with many close red lines, and the column bright crimson. The

having white sepals and petals, tinged with lilac, and the lip very broad, 
dark claret-purple in colour, with a narrow lavender-coloured margin, and
