132 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
It is proposed to erect at Brussels a monument to the memory of the 
late Jean Linden, in recognition of his services to horticulture, and a 
Committee has been formed to carry out the project, of whom Count O. 
de Kerchove de Denterghem is President; M. Kegeljan, Treasurer; and 
M. Lubbers, Secretary. Subscriptions in aid of the fund should be 
addressed to M. F. Kegeljam, Namur, Belgium. 
ORCHIDS AT CLARE LAWN. 
THE plants of Cymbidium Lowianum in the Rock house at Clare Lawn, 
East Sheen, the seat of Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart., have previously been 
noted in these pages, and at the present time they are a sight worth seeing. 
There are about eleven, mostly large plants, bearing an aggregate of 100 
spikes of bloom, which hang over the rockwork in all directions, pro- 
ducing a most beautiful effect. Although placed at various elevations from 
the glass all seem to do thoroughly well, and it is evident that the conditions 
suit them admirably. The best spike we saw was of great length, and bore 
thirty-six flowers. Mr. Young must be congratulated both on their culture 
and very effective arrangement. C.L. concolor forms a pleasing contrast 
with the typical form, but the plant is at present small, bearing only two 
racemes. ; 
Many other fine things are at present flowering in the collection, in the 
Cool house several plants of Odontoglossum GErstedii, one with about sixty 
flowers, the handsome O X elegans, about twenty plants of O. Rossii, 
showing a considerable range of variation, the rare Epidendrum hastatum 
and Cymbidium Devonianum with two spikes, being interspersed with 
numerous specimens of the commoner things. 
In the Warm houses we noted the rare Angreecum arcuatum, a fine 
Dendrobium veratrifolium with two long racemes, some good D. Bensone, 
D. nobile Hutchinson’s var., a very good light-coloured form of large 
size, several good Oncidium ampliatum, Trichopilia suavis, and two well- 
flowered plants of its beautiful variety alba. 
The Cattleyas were flowering in profusion, but we did not note them 
individually, and here was also a good plant of the richly-coloured Lelia x 
Latona, and the charming Epidendrum xX Endresio-Wallisii. 
Other interesting plants noted were Cypripedium Mastersianum with 
three good flowers, an exceptionally large and handsome C. Chamber- 
lainianum beside the typical form, C. niveum giganteum, the pretty little 
Saccolabium ampullaceum, a very good Phalzenopsis Lueddemanniana, and 
various others which we have not space to enumerate, In fact the 
collection is particularly gay at this season,
