72 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
The next is a large, well-formed, blush pink or warm lilac flower, 
slightly darker on the lip, and corresponds to the variety PENELOPE. 
The remaining flower may be described as a large and well-developed 
form of the type. 
From the collection of F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey 
(gr. Mr. Stafford), comes an excellent example of the beautiful variety ALBA, 
from a recent importation, together with a second not quite its equal in 
some respects ; also the two following :— 
C. T. REINE DEs BELGEs is characterised by the brilliant cerise-crimson 
of the front lobe of the lip, which extends round to where the side lobes 
meet to form the tube. The sepals and petals are bright rosy mauve, the 
latter measuring 24 inches broad. Both form and colour are very good. 
The remaining one is from another imported piece, and is of excellent 
form and substance, rather smaller than magnifica, and the lip not of such 
intensity of colour. It may improve with culture. 
From the collection of W. S. M’Millan, Esq., Maghull, Liverpool (gr. 
Mr. Robertson), comes two good forms; one referred to TRICOLOR, with the 
front of the lip very deep rich crimson-purple, and separated from the - 
yellow disc by a small interval which is white, like the rest of the flower. 
The second has a fine feathered blotch at the apex of the petals, and in 
other respects conforms to BACKHOUSEANA. These should be taken care of. 
Mr. John Robson, Altrincham, also sends two very pretty forms, the 
first belonging to the Dodgsoni type, being a large well-formed white flower, 
but the lip perhaps not fully developed, and the front lobe of a rosy crimson 
shade. The second does not conform to anything which we know, the light 
blush petals being irregularly splashed all over with blush pink markings, 
and the side lobes of the lip dark, and irregularly marked with rosy purple, 
while the front lobe is rich amethyst. This may be called var. MARMORATA. ~ 
C. T. Suipway# is a beautiful lilac-purple variety, of which we have 
received a flower from the collection of Col. Shipway, of Grove Park, 
Chiswick. The flower is of nearly uniform tint throughout, with the 
exception of the yellow throat, though the front of the lip is a little darker 
than the sepals and petals. The first flower was rather small, but one 
which has appeared on another plant is far larger, though identical in colour. 
Mrs. Hollond, Wonham, Bampton, N. Devon, sends a most beautiful 
C. T. DELICATA, large, and perfect in shape and colour. 
From the collection of John W. Arkle, Esq., West Derby, Liverpool, 
come several good flowers, including a small C. T. BACKHOUSEANA and a 
good C. T. Suipwayz. Mr. Arkle writes that C. T. ARKLEANA (ante, ili., 
P- 103, iv., p. 81, fig. 5) is again in flower, and eclipses everything else in 
the collection. The variety regalis, since described and figured (Lindenia, 
sli., p. 8, t. 530, fig. 2), is synonymous. de:
