THE ORCHID REVIEW. 255 
REVUE HORTICOLE. 
VANDA TRICOLOR, Lindl., VAR. WALLICHH, André. Said to be a plant 
mentioned by Lindley in his Genera and Species of Orchidaceous Plants, as 
among the Indian plants of the great botanical collector, Wallich. But 
there is no such plant in the work named, nor in the later Folia Orchidacea, 
where Lindley gave an account of Vanda tricolor. Further, the species is 
only known from Java.—July 16th, p. 328, with plate. 
ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
By JOHN WEATHERS. ’ 
Ir cannot be said that the display of Orchids at the Society’s Gardens, 
Chiswick, on July 11th, was equal to any which has been seen at the Drill 
Hall, Westminster, during the year. The powers of the Orchid Committee 
on this occasion were not severely taxed, only two ‘‘ Award of Merit” 
Certificates being granted. One of these went to Messrs. F. Sander and 
Co., St. Albans, for Cypripedium x Massaianum (C. x superciliare ? x C. 
Rothschildianum %), a hybrid with marbled leaves and a large flower, the 
whitish upper sepal of which was striped with dark purple, the broad ciliate 
petals being white tinged with green and spotted with deep crimson, while 
the lip was shaded with pale rose. From the same establishment came the 
pale cream and crimson Aérides Picotianum; the chaste Burlingtonia 
pubescens; the round-leaved Trichocentrum tigrinum, with large white lip 
and purple-blotched sepals and petals ; Renanthera matutina, &c. 
The second Award of Merit was given to Cypripedium Stonei var. Can- 
naertianum, exhibited by Thos. Statter, Esq., F.R.H.S., Whitefield, Man- 
chester (gr. Mr. R. Johnson). This is a remarkable plant, with a large 
white and crimson upper sepal, and broad yellowish petals dotted down the 
centre with a line of crimson, and washed with brownish crimson at the 
tips. Mr. Statter also exhibited the orange-scarlet Lelia monophylla, and 
cut blooms of Lzlio-cattleya x Amesiana and Cattleya x Brymeriana. 
W. C. Clark, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool (gr. Mr. Jones), sent a three- 
flowered spike of the beautiful Cattleya Rex. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis and Co., Chaseside, Southgate, exhibited Cypri- 
pedium x Bradshawianum, which seems to be the result.of a cross between 
C. Lawrenceanum and C. Spicerianum, and very much resembles C. x 
radiosum—which it probably is. 
Messrs. Hugh Low and Co., Clapton, as usual, contributed a pretty 
group, in which were Aérides I’Ansoni, Epidendrum nemorale, nee 
articulatum, Vanda Kimballiana, the ivory-white Stanhopea Amesiana, 
Oncidium Lanceanum, and several Cattleyas.
