34 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
The October-November number of the Kew Bulletin, which appeared 
some time ago, contains a seventh decade of New Orchids described by Mr. 
Rolfe, nine of which are in cultivation. They are more particularly noticed 
on another page. 
Mr. Adolphus H. Kent, A.L.S., of Chelsea, has been awarded a Silver 
Medal by the Veitch Memorial Trustees for his valuable researches in con- 
nection with the Manuals of Orchidaceous Plants, and of Coniferze, published 
by Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of the Royal Exotic Nursery. 
The figure of Lzlia x Finckeniana published in our last issue has aroused 
a good deal of interest. Flowers have been sent from three different collec- 
tions which were thought to bear some resemblance to it, but all are white 
forms of L. anceps. The former is so different in the shape of the lip and 
keels as to be unmistakable when once seen. 
We have the pleasure to announce the marriage of Mr. H. G. Moon, the 
well-known artist of the Reichenbachia, with Miss Sander, only daughter of 
Mr. F. Sander, of St. Albans. The employés at the nursery presented Miss 
Sander with a handsome bronze-mounted clock, which bore the inscription, 
“* Presented to Miss Sander on her marriage by the employés of F. Sander 
and Co., with hearty good wishes from all. Wednesday, January 17th, 
1894.” The bride carried a bouquet of white Orchids. 
The last part issued of the Orchid Album completes the tenth volume, 
and contains a general index to the whole work, which will greatly facilitate 
its use as a means of reference. ; 
The Gardeners’ Chronicle for Janury 20th, in alluding to the pretty little 
Odontoglossum Krameri album in the collection of Walter Cobb, Esq., of 
Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells, speaks of one plant at Tring Park and another 
at Burford, ‘‘ which probably enumerates the number in cultivation.” There 
is also one at Kew, as pointed out at p. 200 of our last volume. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM CRISPUM VAR. THOMPSONIZ. 
The varieties of the beautiful Odontoglossum crispum are almost endless, 
and a large number of them have received distinctive names. O. crispum 
Thompsoniz is a form of great merit, for which Messrs. Linden, of Brussels, 
received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
November 14th last. The flowers are nicely spotted with purple, the petals 
very broad and beautifully undulated, and the sepals suffused with rosy 
lilac on the margin. It is dedicated to Mrs. Thompson, wife of W. 
Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, Staffordshire, into whose collec- 
tion it has passed,
