224 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
The prize for the best-new hybrid Orchid of 1894 was won by Messrs. F. 
Sander and Co., St. Albans, with the beautiful Phaius x Owenianus, which 
received a First-class Certificate at the Temple Show. Dendrobium Griffi- 
thianum Guibertii from the same establishment received a First-class 
Certificate ; Cattleya Mossie, R. H. Measures, a handsome blush form 
with purple blotch on lip, an Award of Merit, and Epidendrum alatum a 
Botanical Certificate. Oncidium Lanceanum, Pescatorea Klabocharum, P. 
Lehmanni and Lelio-cattleya x Wellsiana (C. Triane Leeana x L. pur- 
purata) were also shown. 
Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, sent several very interesting 
things, including a fine pan each of their new Dendrobium glomeratum and 
Disa x langleyensis, the rich orange Lzlio-cattleya x Hippolyta, and three 
hybrid Masdevallias, which latter each received an Award of Merit. These 
were M. Xx Parlatoreana (Barlzeana § x Veitchiana), x glaphyrantha (in- 
fracta 2 x Barleana 7), and the new M. x Asmodia (M. x Chelsoni? x 
Reichenbachiana 2), which is described on another page. 
Messrs. Hugh Low and Co., Clapton, exhibited a fine lot of Cattleya 
Mossiz, including C. M. Schroederz, with richly-coloured lip, the rare C. x 
intricata, some good forms of Cypripedium bellatulum, including one with 
crimson-tinged flowers called C. b. Lowii, and the rare Houlletia Lansbergii, 
which received a Betanical Certificate. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis and Co., Southgate, received a Silver Banksian 
Medal for an effective group, including some showy Cattleyas, fine forms of 
Lelia purpurata, Miltonia vexillaria, Cypripediums, Oncidium ampliatum 
majus, and Lycaste aromatica. Cattleya Warscewiczii albo-striata was a 
fine form with white veining. 
_ Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Internationale, Brussels, received an 
Award of Merit for the rare purple Bifrenaria tyrianthina. They also sent 
a splendid pan of Cochlioda Neetzliana, Aérides Regnieri, and a fine Lzlio- 
cattleya derived from Lelia purpurata x C. Warneri, evidently a variety of 
L.-c. X eximia. 
CORRESPONDENCE, &c. 
Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool, sends four beautiful forms of Cypripedium 
bellatulum to show how much it varies, one especially (of which a photograph is enclosed) 
having very large dark blotches ; a beautiful raceme of Odontoglossum x excellens; two 
good forms of O. crispum, one being curiously marked all over with short purple radiating 
lines ; and a fine Cattleya Mendelii. The diminutive form of Cypripedium niveum may not 
be properly developed though the growth is healthy. 
C. Winn, Esq., Selly Hill, Birmingham, sends Cypripedium x Silvia (C. Curtisii x 
Lawrenceanum), a handsome hybrid, the reverse cross of C. x Gowerianum. 
«fk A Peeters, Brussels, sends a spike of the handsome Miltonia x Bleuana nobilior. 
The Cypripedium bought as C. Rothschildianum is C. prestans, Rchb. f., a native of New 
Guinea. We have seen this before under similar circumstances, and have been informed 
that C. Rothschildianum is not a native of New Guinea.
