coglossa (C. Loddigesii? x C. x fausta 2) C. x Pheidona (C. intermedia? x 
C. maxima 2), Cypripedium x Thersites (C. x Sedeni? x C. Lindley- 
anum ¢) Dendrobium Stratiotes, Oncidium divaricatum, O. cheirophorum, 
and a fine specimen of Sophronitis grandiflora. 
M. Wells, Esq., F.R.H.S. Bloomfield, Sale, Manchester (gr. Mr. 
Hinde), exhibited Lzelio-cattleya x exoniensis. 
F. Wigan, Esq., F.R.H.S., Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. W. H.

pediums, as well as the pure white Calanthe x Mylesii, Lelio-cattleya x

CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
W. M. Appleton, Esq., Tyn-y-Coed, Hill Road, Weston-super-Mare, sends a flower of 
the beautiful variety of Dendrobium Phalzenopsis, for which he received an Award of Merit 
on October 24th last. The front half of the lip and upper half of the petals are bright rose- 
purple, and the sides of the sepals are stained with a lighter tint. The rest of the flower 
is white. Also a small hybrid Odontoglossum, which must be referred to O. x delto- 
glossum. The flowers are light sulphur, spotted with chestnut, and the sepals lightly 
suffused with purple. The other flowers are Dendrobium superbiens and Bulbophyllum 
auricomum. 
C. Eastwick-Field, Esq., Hurst House, Midhurst, Sussex, sends an inflorescence of 
Odontoglossum grande, in which the two flowers are curiously fused together. The pedicel 
of the lower flower is united throughout its entire length, first to the peduncle and then to 
the pedicel of the upper flower, and thus the two flowers are placed back to back at the 
apex, all the parts remaining free. The other flower is Dendrobium bigibbum. 
Messrs. B. S. Williams and Son, Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, Upper Holloway, N. 
send a flower of Cypripedium X Pitcherianum, Williams’ variety, which is a bold and 
handsome hybrid. Also a flower of a hybrid between Phaius grandifolius and Calantha x 
Veitchii, which agrees precisely with Phaio-calanthe x Sedeniana var. rosea (Orchid 
Review, i. p. 85). 
Mrs. Powers, Swanswell, Coventry, sends a large form of Lelia anceps together with a 
flower of L. a. Barkeriana.
