290 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Cattleya superba is a most beautiful species when it succeeds well, but 
likes rather more heat than many others. Two fine flowers are sent from 
the collection of F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough. A good 
flower of Lelia crispa is also sent, which represents another very useful 
species at this season. 
A good flower of Cattleya Gaskelliana is sent from the collection ot 
John Riley, Esq., Hapton House, Burnley. The plant, it is said, has been 
grown in the collection tor twelve years and has not previously flowered, 
thus forming a somewhat parallel instance to those of Odontoglossum 
crispum mentioned in recent issues of this work. 
Cypripedium or Paphiopedium x Ashburtoniz is one of the hybrids 
which bloom very freely at this season, and two curious flowers are sent 
from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. 
Rogers. One has the lateral sepals divided and somewhat spreading, and 
the other has a curious protuberance on one side of the lip, both being 
peculiarities occasionally met with in this genus. 
A pretty light form of Leelio-cattleya x elegans is sent by Herr Paul 
Wolter, of Madgeburg-Wilhelmstadt, Germany. The sepals and petals 
are light rose-pink, with a few small spots, chiefly on the back of the former 
the side lobes of the lip white, slightly tipped with purple, and the fron 
lobe bright crimson-purple. 
A larger form, with broad, slightly-spotted petals, comes from the 
collection of J. W. Arkle, Esq., West Derby, Liverpool. The front lobe of 
the lip is broad, and, together with the tips of the side lobes, deep crimson- 
purple. The raceme had seven fiowers. 
A fine spike of Aérides quinquevulnerum has been sent by Messrs. 
F. Sander and Co., St. Albans. It was imported from the Philippines with 
A. Savageanum, and the sepals and petals are each dotted with purple, and 
tipped with a crimson-purple blotch. It is rather rare in cultivation. 
Lelio-cattleya x corbeillensis is a beautiful hybrid said to have been 
raised from Lelia pumila marginata and Cattleya Loddigesii, hence it has 
been referred as a synonym of L.-c. x Vedasti. A fine flower has been 
sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, who calls 
attention to the bright yellow median line of the lip, which is somewhat 
raised and corrugated, also the dark colours of the sepals and petals, as 
_ being more suggestive of C. Harrisoniz as the second parent. In these
