332 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Dendrobium superbiens, some good D. Phalznopsis, D. formosum, some 
pans of the brilliant little Pleione lagenaria, several good Odontoglossum 
grande, Epidendrum alatum, Oncidium excavatum, obryzatum, and Jones- 
ianum, Cattleya labiata amabilis, with white sepals and petals, and a purple 
blotch in the centre of the white lip, several good C. Bowringiana, one fine 
plant, which had grown through the bottom of the basket, having three fine 
racemes, the best with seventeen flowers. We also noted C. B. violacea 
and C. B. superba, the latter with unusually large flowers, and of exceptional 
richness of colour. Here also were several fine forms of Lzelio-cattleya X 
Schilleriana, a very fine L.-c. X Cassiope (pumila x exoniensis) with two 
flowers, L.-c. x Cornelia (pumila x labiata) with a very dark lip, some 
good Lelia pumila preestans, &c. 
In one of the Odontoglossum houses we noted in flower some good O. 
Rossii, O. apterum (nebulosum) O. bictoniense, O. Edwardii throwing up 
a splendid panicle, a fine O. coronarium on a raft, from which a spike had 
just been removed while two others were not yet open, the handsome 
Cochlioda vulcanica, Oncidium tigrinum, one of the forms being very fine 
and dark, and many Pleione lagenaria throwing up their flowers. 
In an adjacent house, a large batch of Lelia anceps and its varieties were 
throwing up a forest of spikes, which promise a fine display of flowers. They 
are grown without the slightest shading. | Ccelogyne cristata does well in 
a shaded part of the same house. Gongora galeata was in bud here. 
Passing into another house, we found Miltonia spectabilis in flower, 
together with a good plant of Oncidium ornithorhynchum, O. crispum, 
O. Geertianum, several QO. varicosum in bud, and Masdevallia xX 
Measuresiana with nine scapes. Here we were much interested to see 
three good plants of the charming little Sophrocattleya x Chamberlainii, 
described at page 270. In an adjacent Odontoglossum house were four 
good forms of O. crispum, while many others were showing for flower. 
Arriving among the Sobralias, we found the mysterious Sobralia 
Cattleya in the rudest health, and, though removed from the corridor, 
still shows no sign of flowering. The handsome S. Lindeni, however, 
was in bloom, and two large specimens of Cattleya Bowringiana were 
producing a succession of spikes. A fine lot of C. Dowiana, suspended 
from the roof, were pictures of health, but were mostly just past 
flowering. 
In the Phalenopsis house we observed the rare P. Lowii in flower, 
also two plants of P. Esmeralda, together with Sarcochilus unguiculatus, 
whose fragrant flowers only remain open for a few hours. Phalzenopsis 
Schilleriana and others were in excellent health. Here were seven plants 
of Dendrobium Phalznopsis finely in flower, and many others in bud, 
also the beautiful D. Dearei and Catasetum macrocarpum.
