THE ORCHID REVIEW. 207 
M. ignea, and M. Harryana. In the Cattleya house we noted a very 
fine and richly coloured C. Schroedere, and examples of other showy 
species, Lelia X Latona with two racemes and an aggregate of thirteen 
richly coloured flowers, L. purpurata, several good Selenipedium X 
Schreedez, a very fine Phaius X Cooksoni with four spikes, two plants of 
the handsome Zygopetalum x _ Perrenoudi, Cymbidium Lowianum, 
Dendrobium nobile Cooksonianum, and others. Among plants not in 
flower, Vanda ccerulea and Arachnanthe Lowii were observed in particularly 
healthy condition. Elsewhere we observed Miltonia xX Bleuana with 
three superb racemes, some fine M. vexillaria, Cymbidium xX eburneo- 
Lowianum, Sophronitis grandiflora, Cypripedium villosum aureum, a 
massive C. X giganteum, and numerous others, together with a nice lot 
of seedlings to which a small house is largely devoted. The whole 
collection is in excellent condition and reflects great credit on M. Caen, 
who has charge of it. 
In the establishment of M. Louis de Smet we found a good house of 
Odontoglossums, consisting largely of O. crispum, of which many were in 
flower and bud. Three rows of Cypripedium insigne, with a few C. 
villosum in large pots, were arranged along the centre of the house, the 
flowers being used for cutting. We also saw some large healthy plants of 
Stanhopeas suspended in an ordinary stove, where they are evidently 
quite at home. 
M. A. Dalliére has also a long house of Cypripedium insigne used for 
cutting, and in another house we saw many Cypripediums, including 
Exul, Lawrenceanum, barbatum, villosum, also C. X Lathamianum and 
other hybrids, together with several Selenipediums and Phalznopses. 
A smaller house contained some good Masdevallia ignea, coccinea, 
Veitchiana, and other interesting things. 
In the establishment of M. Ed. Pynaert van Geert a large number of 
good Orchids are grown, and in this case, too, the cream of the collection 
was away at the Show, though some still remained. Among numerous 
Cypripediums we noticed some good C. Exul, Mastersianum, Rothschild- 
ianum, hirsutissimum, villosum, a good form of C. X augustum, C. X 
Chamber-Leeanum (described on page 168) and other interesting hybrids. 
There were also some good Odontoglossums and Cattleyas, and some 
charming plants of the Ancectochilus group, including Macodes Petola, M. 
Sanderiana, a fine batch of Hemaria Dawsoniana, M icrostylis Scottii. &c. 
A visit to the establishment of M. de Smet-Duvivier proved particularly 
interesting, for here we found a very good general collection in excellent 
health, but considerations of space only permit us to enumerate a few of 
them. One plant of Odontoglossum Pescatorei had a panicle with no less 
than ten side branches, and the plants generally were very well grown,
