ORCHID REVIEW’. 291 
remarks we fully concur, and the more readily as we know that the names 
of these two Cattleyas are sometimes transposed in gardens. The raceme 
bore three flowers. 
A good flower of Cattleya Loddigesii is sent with the preceding for 
comparison, and this was bought at one of Messrs. Protheroe & Morris’ 
sales under the name of C. Harrisoniz. 
The old Dendrobium pulchellum, better known under its later name of 
D. Dalhousieanum, is a most effective plant when well grown. A photo- 
graph, showing part of three racemes, is sent by G. Lees Milne, Esq., 
Shaw, near Oldham. 
A light form of Odontoglossum triumphans is sent from the collection 
of W. Thompson, Esq., of Stone, by Mr. Stevens, who remarks that it is 
flowering for the first time out of a batch of imported Odontoglossum 
crispum. Once before we received flowers of this species with a similar 
history, and the question arises whether in any locality the two may grow 
together. The two species have hitherto come from different localities, 
and, as there are so many opportunities of plants getting astray or mixed, 
we are inclined to think something of this kind may have taken place. 
Odontoglossum grande Pittianum (supra, v, p. 348) is a beautiful yellow 
variety, characterised by having lost the brown markings of the typical 
form. A beautiful flower has been sent by Herr Paul Wolter, of 
Magdeburg, Wilhelmstadt, Germany. It may be termed an albino of the 
species. 
Cypripedium insigne is already opening. A curious flower from the 
collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., of Streatham, has the bract developed 
into an ordinary leaf, the lateral sepals free above the middle, and one of 
the petals has an infolded side lobe on the lower side, like that of the lip, 
which latter is normally developed. There are two perfect anthers, but the 
staminode is missing. It is very curious. 
Vanda Sanderiana is one of our most striking autumn-flowering species, 
both on account of its noble appearance and handsome markings. A most 
beautiful flower has been sent from the collection of J. W. Potter, Esq., of 
Croydon, by Mr. Young. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co. have secured from New Guinea a large 
importation of the handsome Dendrobium atroviolaceum, over 5000 plants 
having been offered for sale on September 23rd, by Messrs. Protheroe 
and Morris. :
