THE ORCHID REVIEW. 287 
F. W. Moore, Esq., Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, sent a ten- 
flowered inflorescence of an Acineta, called A. colossa, Sander, to which a 
Botanical Certificate was given. The flowers were of a light whitish- 
yellow, with a few dull purple markings towards the base of the lip, and the 
column pubescent. 
Walter Cobb, Esq., Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. Howes), sent a 
four-flowered inflorescence of Lzlio-cattleyaX intermedio-flava, the flowers 
being rather larger than usual, and ivory-white in colour, with the front 
lobe of the lip light purple and undulate. 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. Mr. Murray), 
sent a plant of Cattleya x Hardyana with richly-coloured flowers, and a 
single bloom of the handsome Odontoglossum X crispo-Hallii, described at 
page 10 of our last volume. ; 
Thomas Hogg, Esq., Woodside Gardens, Paisley, N.B., sent a plant of 
the handsome Cypripedium X Lawrebel. 
G. F. Moore, Esq., Bourton-on-the-water, Gloucestershire, sent a fine 
form of Cattleya Trianz, flowering quite out of season, and a very fine 
Cypripedium x Godefroy leucochilum rather heavily marked on the 
dorsal sepal. 
Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, sent four very interesting 
things, of which Disa x Clio received an Award of Merit. This was 
obtained from D. grandiflora ? and D. x Veitchii ¢ , and thus is the reverse 
cross of D. x Diores, raised in the same establishment. Four plants were 
exhibited in the same pot, all being somewhat different, and most 
resembling D. X Veitchii in general character, though two had a slight 
flush of scarlet in the flower, and the dorsal sepal a little paler than the 
lateral ones, but without markings. The others were Epidendrum X 
radicanti-Stamfordianum (described at page 198), shown in better condition 
than before, and with the rooting character of E. radicans well developed ; 
Masdevallia x Circe (M. Veitchiana 2? X M. Schroederiana ¢), a pretty 
hybrid, most like the former in shape, and dull orange in colour, with 
numerous brown hairs, with a purple iridescence on the sepals; and 
Cypripedium x Rothschildiano-villosum (villosum ? X Rothschildianum ¢), 
a pretty hybrid, with an ovate somewhat veined dorsal sepal, petals 
most like C. villosum, but more elongated, lip showing much of the C. 
Rothschildianum character, and an oblong staminode somewhat reflexed at 
the sides. . 
Messrs. Hugh Low and Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, staged a very 
pretty group, containing Cypripedium bellatulum album, C. Charlesworthii, 
C. Curtisii, C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum, with one side of the lower sepal 
like the dorsal in shape and colour, Sobralia xantholeuca, Phalznopsis 
Aphrodite, Oncidium Lanceanum, Cattleya bicolor and C. Loddigesii, each
