shorter. The colour is almost salmon-pink. with the nerves and margin 
darker. The seed was sown in September, 1891, and the plant flowered in 
May of the present year, when two years and eight months old. It isa 
very promising little plant of a pretty and attractive shade of colour. 
ORCHIDS AT TWICKENHAM. 
In the collection of H. Little, Esq., Baronshalt, The Barons, East 
Twickenham, we observed several noteworthy Orchids in flower during a 
recent visit. A plant of Cypripedium Sanderianum was bearing two spikes 
of two and three flowers respectively, the petals measuring eighteen inches 
long. This is one of the best plants we have seen of this species, which 
is notoriously difficult to grow. A spixe of Cypripedium Rothschildianum 
bore two flowers, the diameter across the petals being eleven and a half 
inches. It is interesting to note that one of them has been crossed with 
Selenipedium caudatum. One of the many plants of Lelia purpurata bore 
a spike with no less than seven flowers, while Vanda teres, which here does 
especially well, carried spikes of six and seven flowers each, of great size. 
Selenipedium x albopurpureum is a great favourite here, and was bearing 
its lovely peach-coloured blossoms. Odontoglossum citrosmum, Leelio- 
cattleya x Schilleriana, Vanda tricolor and Suavis, and various showy 
Cattleyas were also particularly noteworthy. 
ORCHIDS AT HIGHBURY. ; 
The collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.P., is always full 
of interest, and Mr. Burberry must be congratulated on his success in its 
management. One of the most interesting sights in the collection was a 
plant of Coryanthes speciosa, with a newly expanded flower. Although only 
two hours’ old, the drops of liquid which were exuding from the glands at 
the base of the column had already covered the bottom of the remarkable 
bucket-shaped lip. It is certainly a very remarkable Orchid. Dendrobium 
Falconeri on a raft is a wonderful specimen, bearing over a hundred of its 
brilliant flowers. Miltonia vexillaria is exceptionally well grown here, many 
of the flowers being unusually large, and the plants quite clean. Mr. 
Burberry uses tobacco powder liberally, and states that no harm ensues to 
the plants. The charming Acacallis cyanea was also flowering well, also 
Lelia Boothiana, Dendrobium lineale, four beautiful pieces of D. Bensoniz, 
the very rare D. Aphrodite, Restrepia elegans, the charming little Tricho- 
centrum tigrinum, Miltonia Phalznopsis, Cattleya Aclandie, and large 
numbers of the usual showy species, which it would require far too much. 
Three very interesting hybrids not in flower are
