THE ORCHID REVIEW. 57 
Flowers of the very rare and pretty Odontoglossum crinitum are sent 
from the collection of Joseph Broome, Esq., Sunny Hill, Llandudno, which 
is remarkable for the hairy crest of the lip. A large well-grown flower of 
Lycaste Skinneri is also enclosed. 
We have received a most beautiful inflorescence of Odontoglossum x 
Wilckeanum from the collection of D. Tod, Esq., Eastwood Park, 
Giffnock, bearing fourteen large and very richly coloured flowers. Mr. 
Hutchinson, the gardener, remarks that it was purchased from Messrs. 
Hugh Low & Co., in 1881, and has increased in size and strength every 
year. It is extremely beautiful. 
Dendrobium X Andromeda is a very charming hybrid sent from 
the collection of H. H. Bolton, Esq., of Newchurch, Manchester, by 
Mr. Eastwood. It was obtained from a cross between D. xX Leechianum 
and D. X Cassiope, and has pure white flowers with a very richly 
coloured blotch on the lip. 
A fine flower of Cypripedium callosum is sent from the collection 
of E. F. Clarke, Esq., of Teignmouth, from a twin-flowered scape ; also 
a good C. insigne sylhetense, and a seedling from the Selly Hill collection, 
said to be derived from C. X Lathamianum x Spicerianum, but which 
at present differs but little from the former. 
A form of Cypripedium x Carnusianum has now been raised by 
Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, of Upper Holloway, the parentage being C. 
Spicerianum X Haynaldianum. One of the seedlings has recently flowered, 
and is fairly intermediate in character. The scape is two-flowered. 
THE LATE JEAN LINDEN. 
THE entire number of La Semaine Horticole for February 12th is devoted 
to a Memoir of the late M. Jean Linden, and includes a list of Orchids 
introduced by him. It is a great pity that this list was not submitted to 
revision by some competent person, for we find many names that are 
of no standing whatever. For example, Lueddemannia Pescatorei, 
Cycnoches Pescatorei, and C. Lindleyi, refer to one and the same 
species, while C. musciferum is only a synonym of Polycycnis muscifera. 
Lelio-cattleya Cauwenberghei, L.-c. Lindeni, and L.-c. Sayana, are all 
forms of the well-known L.-c. x elegans, which appears a fourth time 
as Lelia Owenie. Anguloa is represented by seven names, more than 
the number of species contained in the genus. Six names appear under 
Vanilla, four of which we are unable to trace, one is an ancient plant 
whose identity is still unknown, and the remaining one (V. Phalznopsis)
