38 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
noteworthy specimens may be found, including C. x Lathamianum, and a 
strong piece of the new C. Chamberlainianum which is now sending up 
a fine spike. Also several Selenipediums, as S. x grande, S. x Sedeni, 
and its pretty variety candidulum. 
We now come to the house where the Phalznopses are cultivated. To 
these plants special attention has been paid by Mr. Duncan for several years, 
and now, by steady perseverance, he has found the treatment suitable for 
them, many at the present time being in luxuriant health. The plants are 
grown in teak baskets, suspended midway between the roof-glass and the 
stage. This is covered with small shingle or gravel, in which many small 
growing plants root freely, as Pilea muscosa, Pellionia Daveauiana, 
Panicums, and Cyrtodeiras. These little plants throw off a certain amount 
of moisture, which the overhanging plants seem to revel in, as may be seen 
by the healthy foliage and strong flower spikes. 
In the same house the varieties of Miltonia Roezlii are growing ex- 
ceedingly well, making clean healthy growths, and quite free ‘from those 
destructive pests, thrips, which so often attack and injure this tender 
species. 
Saccolabium bellinum, with two strong spikes, Angreecum Sanderianum, 
with three very fine spikes, A. pellucidum, A. bilobum, A. Ellisii, the sweet- 
smelling A. fastuosum, and A. Leonis, also the ivory-white A. sesquipedale, 
are all exceptionally well done. Not often do we see this section of Orchids 
growing and producing their flower spikes with so much freedom. Vanda 
Sanderiana is also quite at home in this division. 
The cooler or intermediate house contains a miscellaneous collection 
of plants, too numerous to mention, but amongst which we noted as most 
prominent was a fine healthy specimen of Ccelogyne cristate hololeuca, 
which is no doubt one of the most beautiful of white Orchids known. 
Several plants were in bloom in this house, an Oncidium tigrinum, 
and Phaius maculatus. Also a pretty little Dendrobium, allied to D. 
Wattianum (Rchb. f.), which may be described as having a decided 
resemblance to a small D. infundibulum. 
It would require too much space to refer to all the occupants of the 
Odontoglossum house, though a few may be mentioned as being in flower 
at the time of our visit. Oncidium cheirophorum, O. ornithorhynchum, 
O. lamelligerum, Masdevallia amabilis, M. Davisii, M. polysticta, and 
especially noticeable was a neat specimen of M. tovarensis with about 
forty spikes, the majority of them bearing three flowers on each, and on one 
spike we counted four. Several pans of the scarlet Sophronites grandiflora 
were very effective, hanging from the roof, among the white forms of 
Odontoglossom crispum. These latter will soon make a good vie ei as 
many are showing well for bloom.
