THE ORCHID REVIEW. 47 
on account of their great merit as winter bloomers, and the shades of 
colour were something grand, from the darkest variety of Calanthe xX 
Veitchii to the purest white. We may mention C. X Bryan, with its 
pure white sepals and petals and its rich purple eye; C. X burfordiense, 
a brightly coloured form; C. X porphyrea, C. X nivalis, and C. X 
Victoria-Regina, with many others. We must not forget to say that 
Burford is one of the few places where the old Calanthe rosea, formerly 
known under the name of Limatodes rosea, can actually be seen. 
Dendrobiums are very well represented and grown, and the number 
of hybrids which have been reared at Burford is known to alk 2 X 
burfordiense is a very beautiful one which we had the pleasure of seeing. 
Here were also the rare D. Mooreanum with about a dozen flowers, and 
D. cymbidoides, a pretty Javan species whose blossoms look more like 
those of a Ccelogyne than of a Dendrobium. 
On the middle stage we noticed a fine specimen of Schomburgkia 
Kimballiana in flowet, in company with the curious Galeandra Devoniana, 
which is also very handsome. Suspended from the roof is a most 
complete collection of Bulbophyllums and Cirrhopetalums, and_ several 
of them are very attractive when in flower. On the other side is 
a very valuable collection of Phalenopsis and Cypripedium, and we 
also noticed the rare Angraecum Kotzchyanum, which is believed to be 
represented in Europe by only three specimens. 
One of the most striking plants for us was a splendid specimen of 
Vanda Sanderiana, which is certainly one of the strongest plants in 
cultivation. On its roots a quantity of very small seedlings have germi- 
nated, and it would be rather interesting-to know what that small 
colony is, and -how the seeds got there. Nothing is known of their 
previous history. 
We saw also with great pleasure the Grammatophyllum speciosum, 
which flowered last year and which was the fifth plant flowering in 
Europe. Sobralia Cattleya is also worth mentioning as a plant which 
has not yet flowered. It has undergore various treatments, but no 
satisfactory result has been so far obtained. It has been grown as 
cool as possible, has passed a complete summer outside, and now, as 
it does not seem to have ripened, Mr. White proposes to submit it to 
still more radical treatment. We hope he may succeed in flowering it, 
which no one has yet accomplished in Europe. 3 
The collection is certainly remarkable in many respects, and we 
congratulate Sir Trevor Lawrence, and his able grower, Mr. White, on 
their success, both in the cultural and hybridising departments. 
ODONTO.
