THE ORCHID REVIEW. 39 
varieties only being admitted to the collection. Cattleya Trianz will 
in all probability soon make a fine display, as the flower buds are fast 
pushing up through the numerous sheaths. Lelia anceps and its many 
white and rose-coloured varieties are well represented. 
Several splendid plants of Oncidium Lanceanum were growing freely on 
the shady side of the house, no disease or spot of any kind being observable. 
These plants have been here for some considerable time, and at present 
show no signs of exhaustion. Hopes are now entertained that this species 
will continue to conform to the rules of artificial treatment. 
Here, too, is a large specimen of Platyclinis glumacea, many of the 
pseudobulbs producing three growth from each; Zygopetalum Mackayi, 
with five strong spikes; fine plants of Epidendrum radicans, Ccelogyne 
Dayana, and Ansellia africana. One plant which stands pre-eminent at 
the end of one house is Sobralia Lucasiana, a variety which we believe to 
be unique. 
Another house is being specially prepared at Warnham Court, under the 
personal supervision of Mr. Duncan, for the cultivation of Odontoglossum 
crispum, for which, from its position and internal arrangements, a pros- - 
perous future may be anticipated for this delightful cool-growing Orchid.

BULBOPHYLLUM AURICOMUM. 
This very graceful little Bulbophyllum is extremely rare in cultivation, 
consequently we are the more pleased to find that a good plant of it is now 
flowering in the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., Tyn-y-Coed, Hill 
Road, Weston-super-Mare, and, as that gentleman has well pointed out, it 
makes a very pretty plant, with its eight or ten gracefully arching spikes of 
highly fragrant flowers, especially at this dull season. It is a native of 
Burmah, and the Rey. C. F. Parish states that it is called Ta-zeen-ban by 
the Burmese, and that it is a great favourite with the girls, who put it in 
their hair, as it is pleasantly fragrant, like new-mown hay. A raceme from 
Mr. Appleton is nine inches long, and bears thirty-six flowers. The sepals 
are pure white, four to five lines long, the petals very small, and of the same 
colour, and the lip bright yellow. It succeeds well on a block in the warm 
house, treated like a Cirrhopetalum. The bulbs are ovoid-oblong, about 
three-quarters of an inch apart on a creeping rhizome, and bear a pair. 
of oblong leaves, which are deciduous, and drop off before the time of 
flowering. Altogether it is a very graceful and pretty little plant, although 
a “ botanical ” Orchid.
