226 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
the lips white, and the broad expanded front lobe brilliant amethyst, forming 
a beautiful contrast. 
Flowers of Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana euspatha are sent from the 
collections of C. N. L. Ingram, Esq., of Godalming, by Mr. Bond, and of R. 
H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham. The lip is nearly entire, and the bright 
amethyst-purple of the front lobe of the lip extends as a broad margin round 
the side lobes, the rest of the flower being more or less tinged with purple. 
It is a very striking variety. 
A very fine flower of Cattleya Warscewiczii is sent from the collection of 
D. M. Grimsdale, Esq., of Uxbridge, rather light in colour, and the eye- 
like spots on the lip nearly white, passing into lemon-yellow at the inner 
angle. A very large form of Oncidium Papilio is also sent, which species 
succeeds particularly well in this collection. 
A very beautiful flower of Dendrobium Phalenopsis Rothschildianum is 
sent by Mr. T. Rochford, Turnford Hall Nurseries, being white with the 
exception of a few radiating pink nerves on the lip. A fine flower of the 
rare Aspasia principissa is also sent, which latter was imported with Cattleya 
Mendelii. 
ONCIDIUM JAMIESONI. 
ALTHOUGH described nearly half-a-century ago by Lindley (Part. Fl, Gard., 
i., p- 104), this graceful and pretty species has been a long time practically 
unknown in gardens. It was, however, exhibited at the Drill Hall on July 
t2th last by Sir Trevor Lawrence, under the name of O. albo-verrucosum, 
and received a Botanical Certificate. It also flowered in the collection at 
about this period in 1895 and 1896, but was not previously identified. 
Reichenbach records receiving specimens from M. Ed. Klaboch in 1870 
(Gard. Chron., 1870, p. 680). but from the note it is doubtful whether living 
plants were sent ; if so nothing further appears to have been heard about 
them. Lindley’s original specimen was sent by Jamieson, from the neigh- 
bourhood of Quito, and I have seen no other except the recent, cultivated 
ones. The panicle is about two feet high, rather lax, and bears a number 
of deep yellow flowers with one or two broad deep brown bars at the base 
of the petals, giving a rather striking contrast. The lip is pandurate, 10 to 
Ir lines broad, and bears a white, verrucose crest at the base; while the 
column wings are large and clear yellow. A few of the flowers are abortive, 
as in O. heteranthum and several other species. Lindley placed it next to 
O. ampliatum, but it is more allied to the heteranthous species, and is one 
of the showiest of this group. R. A
