THE ORCHID REVIEW. 27 
months make a great show, especially those which delight to be and have 
been rested cool; and I further reiterate my predecessor’s remarks respecting 
these plants—namely, to avoid excitement, either by an over warm tempera- 
ture, or over much water at the roots, during the time the flowers are 
coming to maturity, or many may drop off or turn to growths.

ERIA MEIRAX, N. E. Br. A very singular little Orchid, discovered by the 
Rev. Mr. Parish in the Moulmein Hills. It is extremely dwarf, with depressed 
globose pseudobulbs, and a pair of small oblong leaves, which die away 
before the sessile purple-brown solitary flowers appear. It flourishes on a 
block in the tropical house. It belongs to the section Porpax.—t. 7329. 
EULOPHIA ZEYHERI, Hook. f. A native of S.E. Africa, which flowered 
with H. J. Elwes, Esq., of Colesbourne, Andoversford, Gloucestershire, in 
April last. The flowers are large, light yellow, with purple-brown side 
lobes to the lip and some brown on the hairy crest. It is allied to E. 
ensata, Lindl.—t. 7330. ‘

STANHOPEA Lowu, Rolfe. A remarkable species introduced from the 
Cauca, New Grenada, by Messrs. Hugh Low and Co. It was figured and 
described at p. 177 of our last volume. S. Amesiana, Hort., is probably a 
variety of the same.—Dec. 2nd, 1893, pp. 688, 689, fig. 107. 
CATTLEYA WALKERIANA, Lindl., VAR. NOBILIOR. A very fine variety, 
which is excessively rare in gardens and rather difficult to cultivate suc- 
cessfully for any length of time. In the collection of Lord Rothschild, at 
Tring Park, it has been successfully grown for years by Mr. Hill. The 
plants are grown in pots, which stand on a ledge of brickwork at the end 
of the house where Vanda teres is grown, and close to the glass end of the 
house, where they have plenty of light. Each year they increase in size, 
and the pseudobulbs, old and young, are stout and plump, and they flower 
freely. Leelia crispilabia thrives under the same treatment.—Dec. oth, 
1893, pp. 712, 713, fig. 108.

November 28th last, and received an Award of Merit. We do not know if
