98 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
with two superb bouquets of Orchids. The meeting was a very brilliant 
one, and the exhibits numbered one hundred and thirty-three, and W. 
Thompson, Esq., Stone, Staffordshire, was chosen president of the jury. 
Their labours over, the company retired to the Grand Hotel, where an 
elegant déjewner was served. Suitable speeches followed and the healths 
of the gentlemen in whose honour the /éte was held were proposed and 
suitably acknowledged. 
Several species of Phalznopsis are splendidly grown at Henham Hall, 
Wangford, the seat of the Earl of Stradbroke, by Mr. Eden. A plant of P. 
Aphrodite last October produced a flower stem with several branches and 
about fifty fully expanded blooms, and now it has yielded a second spike 
of fifteen flowers, each over three and three-quarter inches in diameter, 
and of the greatest beauty. 
M. Th. Durand, of Brussels, announces the preparation of a work 
entitled, Census Orchidearum, an enumeration of the various species, 
varieties and hybrids of this extensive family, with brief particulars 
respecting them. 
CYPRIPEDIUM INSIGNE SANDERZ. 
One little mistake respecting this beautiful variety which has got into 
some of the books, and was reproduced in our account at page 41, deserves 
to be corrected. Mr. R. I. Measures is said to have paid to his brother 
one hundred guineas for half of the plant, but Mr. Measures informs us that 
it was obtained in exchange for other plants. We are also glad to learn 
that the plant in Mrs. F, L. Ames’s collection is in thriving condition, and 
under Mr. Robinson’s management increases twofold each year.

CYPRIPEDIUM INSIGNE BOHNHOFIANUM. 
In reference to your note on the above at page 4o, that nothing was 
stated in the original description about its origin, I may say that the 
omission was probably an oversight on Mr. O’Brien’s part. The first 
appearance occurred in our nursery in November, 1891, among an importa- 
tion of the popular “‘ montanum” type, when its beauty and phenomenal 
appearance won the admiration of R. H. Measures, Esq., who secured half 
the plant, and it has since found a home among his numerous treasures at 
Streatham. The other portion still remains intact at St. Albans, and we 
have no knowledge of its equal excepting Mr. Measures’ plant and the one 
mentioned in your February issue, both of which I have lately seen 
flowering with their respective owners.
