Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool, sends several very beautiful flo 
1 is Leelio-cattleya elegans var. Turneri ; 2 and 3; Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana, but 
form much larger than the other, and very beautiful. Cattleya velutina and Epid 
vitellinum majus are also included, the latter a very fine form. It is grown cool, 
d in a moist atmosphere, as this species always should be. : 
Cypripedium x Paris is believed to have been raised from C. bellatulum and C. : 
and may have been one of the late Mr. Hall’s seedlings. There may be a little doubt it 
the matter, but it does not seem likely that C. callosum was the second parent. : 
Cypripedium X Cowleyanum was raised in the collection of Mr. Tautz, from C. Cui 
and C. niveum. See Gard. Chron., 1892, i. p. 73. i 
. B. H., Mossley Hill, Liverpool. The flower is Lzlio-cattleya X Schilleriana- 
euspatha, a very good form, ile 
J. Johnson, Great Grimsby. The Oncidium Kramerianum isa very fine and har aS 
coloured form. : 
Aérides Lawrencez. Two fine plants of this are flowering in the collection of Sir 
Lawrence, Bart., as we learn from Mr. W. H. White, one of them carrying nine spikes 
about 200 flowers. The variety Sanderianum also carries four spikes, and nearly 1 
flowers. , 
Sobralia xantholeuca. Three flowers have been received from Mr. W. Holmes, 84 
to G. Hardy, Esq., Pickering Lodge, Timperley, one of them a beautiful light variety’ 
cream-coloured sepals and petals ; lip normal in character. A handsome pink fo 
sent is probably S. Lucasiana, which is not yet very well known. Bp 
A. Van Imschoot, Ghent, sends several very interesting Orchids, including 
_ eburnea, Ada Lehmanni, Odontoglossum Imschootianum, a supposed natural hybrid 
O. tripudians and O. Lindleyanum, Lelia monophylla, Grobya Amherstie, »P 
tampense, Lycaste Schilleriana, and several others. No. 9 is Epidendrum fallax, } 
Lelio-cattleya x Proserpine. Messrs, James Veitch and Son send a flows = 
charming little hybrid, derived from Lelia pumila Dayana and Cattleya velutina. ’ 
resembles the former, but is modified both in shape and colour. po: 
-L. L. and Co., Southgate. The Cattleya Dowiana aurea sent is 4 fine 
very dark lip, but we have seen it before, also the red markings at the tip of the , 
W.V. Not all white Sobralias with yellow lips are S. macrantha Kienastian® 
very fact of there being an importation of it shows it to be different. Albinos of ¢¢ 
Species are almost invariably very rare. -
