300 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Still later it was discovered in a new locality, on the mountains to the 
east of the Magdalena River, by a collector of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., 
of St. Albans, and received the name of C. Sanderiana, plants being sold at 
Stevens’s Rooms on June 15, 1882. This also has the credit of being a 
free bloomer. 
Thus the species exists on all three Cordilleras, the typical C. War- 
Scewiczii occurring on the central one, from Amalfi southwards to beyond 
Medellin, the variety imperialis on the western, near Frontino, and the 
variety Sanderiana on the eastern, from La Palma to beyond Flores. 
These names are given in the sense in which they were applied, but it is 
doubtful if any distinguishing characters can be pointed out. In fact this 
Cattleya is much less variable that several others, and the character of 
being a shy bloomer is said not to be peculiar to plants from the central 
Cordillera, but to depend to a great extent on the conditions under which it 
grows. In any case C. Warscewiczii includes the other forms, and is by 
far the older name of this magnificent Cattleya.

DENDROBIUM PHALAENOPSIS AT CHELTENHAM. 
Orchids are grown well at Cheltenham. On a recent visit I saw a sight 
at the Royal Exotic Nurseries worth going a long way tosee. Mr. James 
Cypher has long been justly famed for excellence in Orchid culture, and’, 
perhaps, so far as Dendrobiums are concerned, he has no equal. Amidst 
the verdure of one of the most fertile counties, and nicely sheltered by the 
surrounding hills, are Mr. Cypher’s Orchid Houses, and there, indeed, 
Dendrobiums are at home. At this early date there are already nearly 
fifteen hundred blooms of the handsome Dendrobium Phalzenopsis fully 
expanded, which are all arranged in one house, and as the colours vary 
from the darkest forms to almost pure white, the effect can be better 
imagined than described. Beautiful as the varieties are, there are yet 
those to come forth that will favourably compare with some of the original 
paintings, which, as is the case with many another Orchid painting, cast 
just a faint suspicion of the exaggerative powers of the artist.

ODONTOGLOSSUM HARRYANUM. 
A very fine form of this beautiful Odontoglossum comes from the collec- 
tion of W. E. Ledger, Esq., Wilton Road, Wimbledon, in which the lip is 
fully one and a quarter inches in diameter, and the dorsal sepal well marked 
with deep yellow. It may be considered a well grown example of the typical 
form. The petals of this fine species are so much incurved, and stand forward 
in front of the flower in a way which detracts considerably from its beauty, as 
has been pointed out to us on various occasions. This arises from the fact
