302 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Among other interesting species in flower or bud may be mentioned 
the distinct Epidendrum (Barkeria) Lindleyanum, Cattleya Dormaniana 
and granulosa, Lelia Perrinii, the Mexican Lelia anceps and its varieties, 
as well as L. autumnalis, Maxillaria grandifolia and venusta, Miltonia 
Clowesii, and the useful Oncidiums tigrinum and varicosum, the curious 
Gongora galeata, Lycaste Dowiana, Vanda czrulea, Coelogyne fimbriata, 
and various others. 
Now passing to the Cool house, we find the handsome Odontoglossum 
grande, Oncidium incurvum, Sphathoglottis Fortunei, Stenoglottis 
fimbriata and longifolia are forming a charming display, and valuable in 
this respect is the handsome Dendrobium chrysanthum. 
Amongst those showing for flower are several Pleiones, namely, preecox, 
maculata, lagenaria, and Reichenbachiana. Cypripedium insigne is now 
progressing rapidly, and some of the cool Oncidiums are also throwing 
up spikes. 
Many are the intermediate plants which could be grown in the Cool 
house during the summer months, and which will flower quite freely under 
cooler treatment. As a matter of fact, many plants in bloom would last 
much longer if they were removed to a cooler and drier atmosphere, with 
little, if any, harm resulting to the plants. :
