THE ORCHID REVIEW. 109 
Lelia anceps, which it would be difficult to surpass throughout the country. 
One called L. anceps highburiensis is the darkest of the coloured forms, 
while the one with the largest flower and most perfect shape is L. anceps 
grandiflora, a really splendid form. The numerous white varieties here 
flower very freely. A good batch of the pretty L. flava and another of L. 
harpophylla are grown, and when in flower are very showy. The pretty 
hybrid L. x flammea is also noticeable, on account of the peculiar colour of 
its lowers. Lelia Gouldiana and several’ other interesting forms are also 
included. 
In the next house a splendid collection of Miltonia vexillaria is grown, 
and particularly well grown too. This species is also a great favourite. 
Its variability is well known, and as might be expected, some very hand- 
some forms are in the collection. Ccelogyne cristata and its varieties, and 
some of the smaller Cattleyas are also grown here. 
Then comes a house in which the Lycastes are grown, also Oncidium 
tigrinum and a superb collection of the beautiful Odontoglossum citrosmum, 
which is grown to perfection. Many other interesting things might be 
enumerated. 
The Masdevallias have a snug little house all to themselves, and the 
showy species are represented in force. M. coccinea in its multitudinous 
varieties, the beautiful yellow M. Davisii, the scarlet M. ignea, and the 
chaste and fairy-like M. tovarensis are great favourites, while the smaller 
species also are represented by healthy examples. 
Dendrobiums are special favourites, and all the best kinds, both species 
and hybrids, are represented, some of them in quantity, consequently a large 
amount of space is given to this most useful genus. One house contains 
the bulk of the deciduous or semi-deciduous species, which require similar 
treatment, while those which require more heat, as D. Phalznopsis, D. 
bigibbum, D. superbiens, and allies are placed in another house, where they 
stow with the greatest freedom and flower in profusion. Many of He 
Dendrobiums grow with unusual vigour, as D. Wardianum and the varieties 
of D. nobile, also some of the hybrids, as D. X Ainsworthii, D. x Leechia- 
num, D. x Cassiope, and D. x Venus, which latter are plants of the 
easiest possible culture, exceedingly floriferous, and of the greatest possible 
decorative value. When in flower some of these plants are a perfect picture 
of loveliness. 
A few of the Cattleyas require rather more sun and heat than the 
others, and these are kept apart from the general collection, and less 
Shading used. These are C. Warscewiczii and C. Dowiana, with the 
beautiful natural hybrids between them, as C. x Hardyana and its 
Variety Massaiana, also C. Warneri, C. Percivaliana, C. Lawrenceana, and 
afew others. Being thus kept apart, their wants are the more easily looked 
after. Other plants which require similar treatment also find a home here.
