CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
I. Measures, Esq., Camberwell, sends a very fine flower of Cypripedium Mas- 
tersianum, the species figured at p. 17 of the present volume, but the dorsal sepal over 1% 
inches broad, and the petals proportionately broader. It is well coloured, and altogether 
the best flower we have seen of the species. 
Mr. W. Stevens, gardener to W. Thompson, Esq., Stone, Staffordshire, sends some 
beautiful flowers of Dendrobium Phalzenopsis, showing how well it is grown there. It is well 
adapted for cut flowers, and lasted longer in water than some Odontoglossums enclosed 
with it. 
J Florence. The Sobralia may be undeveloped. It is much like S. niacrantha, 
_ both in leaf and flower, and may be a form of it. Should like to see the Cypripedium 
again. It is very near one or two others. 
J. M., Barnsley. A good typical Cattleya Mendelii. 
H.H., Whitby. Photograph of Saccolabium Blumei received, with thanks. The three 
spikes are very fine 
oO. The Cypripedium seedling sent is a good form of C. x Ashburtoniz. 
Cc. x bahecadel ‘i enclosed, was derived from the same two species, C. barbatum and 
C. insigne. 
H. W., Whalley Range. Bletia Shepherdii, good. 
E. A. B., Oxford. Odontoglossum x Andersonianum, good; Lelio-cattleya x Schil- 
leriana ; Leelia cinnabarina, a little darker than usual. 4 «epee
