THE ORCHID REVIEW. 211 
Horticultural Society’s meeting on June 12th. The sepals and petals are 
almost wholly suffused with rich claret-purple, with the exception of a 
small nearly white area at the base of each, a similar narrow margin, and a 
few pale narrow markings where the large blotches are not quite confluent. 
The markings on the lip are reddish brown. The flowers measure two ana 
three-quarter inches across the broad petals, but will probably become 
larger as the plant increases in strength. It is an exceptionally richly- 
coloured variety, and represents the extreme limit of variation in this 
particular direction yet known. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM CRISPUM VAR. GRANDE-MACULATUM. 
This was also exhibited at the same time as the preceding, and received 
a similar award. It is a large and beautiful light-coloured spotted form. 
All the segments are very broad, the dorsal sepal being an inch across, and 
the deeply-fringed petals still broader, and with very rounded apex. The 
colour is delicate blush, a little darker on the sepals, each of which bears a 
very few (usually three) cinnamon-brown blotches near the base. The 
petals bear about thirty similar blotches, a few being partially confluent, 
and the basal third unspotted. There are a few small spots on the lips A 
flower of each of these beautiful varieties has been kindly sent by the 
baron,

NURSERY NOTES. 
Messrs. JAMES VEITCH AND SONS, CHELSEA. 
One of the features of interest at the present time at the Royal Exotic 
Nursery is a series of the new and elegant Disa X langleyensis, which being 
arranged in groups are seen to the best advantage, the long racemes of rosy 
pink flowers giving a charming effect. It is quite a greenhouse Orchid of 
the easiest culture. Another promising plant is the new Dendrobium 
glomeratum, which proves to be very floriferous, though only in cultivation 
about six months. Several plants are bearing racemes of its bright rosy 
purple flowers with orange-red lip, producing a very pretty effect. The 
plant also appears to be a good grower. There are also a number of very 
interesting hybrids for which the Nursery has so long been famous, and 
among them the rich orange Lelio-cattleya x Hippolyta, the very interest- 
ing Epidendrum x Endresio-Wallisii, and a number of hybrid Cypripediums, 
which keep up a succession throughout the year. Cattleyas and Odonto- 
glossums make a good show, among the former being a good early C. Gas- 
kelliana, C. Warscewiczii, C. Aclandie, &c. One very dark form of Lelia
