2 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
species, of which a good flower has been sent from the collection of 
H. Brittan Evans, Esq., of Clifton, Bristol. Its brilliant colour renders 
it one of the most beautiful of autumn-flowering forms. 
Flowers of two distinct forms of Cypripedium x Allanianum are sent 
by Mr. W. B. Latham, of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, one being 
very richly coloured. The hybrid was first raised by Messrs. Pitcher and 
Manda, from C. Spicerianum ¢ and C. Curtisii ¢, and was described 
at page 22 of our second volume. The present forms were raised by 
Mr. Latham. 
A distinct and pretty form of Lelia anceps is sent from the collection 
of F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough, in which the front lobe 
of the lip is rather narrow and of a very deep maroon-purple. The 
sepals and petals are light rose-pink. It is accompanied by a good 
example of the typical form. 
Lelia anceps rosea is a beautiful light rose-pink variety, of which a 
flower has been sent from the collection of J. Bradshaw, Esq., The 
Grange, Southgate. The varieties Hilliana and blanda are very nearly 
allied. 
Respecting the seedling ‘‘Thunias” mentioned at page 298 of our 
last volume, Mr. Appleton writes that he has never had a grain of seed 
of that genus, and suspects the seedlings belong toa cross ‘‘ Zygopetalum 
maxillare X Mackayi” which he made; time, however, will prove, 41 
only affords an illustration of the well-known difficulty of distinguishing 
some of these plants in their infantile stages. 
Cypripedium callosum Rossianum is a variety with unusually long 
narrow petals, from the collection of H. J. Ross, Esq., of Florence, 
which was described at page 64 of our second volume. The same form 
has appeared in the collection of Mrs. Hollond, Wonham, Bampton, 
Devon. It is very distinct from the typical form, but appears to be 
only a variety of it. 
An unusually fine form of Odontoglossum x mulus is sent from the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens. 
It bears the name O. x cuspidatum magnificum, and presumably agrees 
with a variety recently certificated under this name. O. X cuspidatum, 
however, is only a small flowered form of O. xX mulus, in which the 
characters of O. gloriosum are most apparent, while in the present one, as 
in the original O. x mulus, the influence of O, luteopurpureum 
preponderates,
