THE ORCHID REVIEY. 
Vor. IL] DE 
CEMBER, 1894. 
‘ 
NOTES. 
THE next meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society (the last of the year) 
‘will be held on December 11th, when the Orchid Committee will meet at 
the usual hour of twelve o’clock, noon. 
The two plants of Cattleya x Victoria-Regina previously mentioned in 
these pages (pp. 7, 293) are both in flower at the present time. Mr. Hamilton, 
gardener to Hamar Bass, Esq,, Byrkley, Burton-on-Trent, writes that their 
plant has two spikes of tliree flowers each, and that the pseudobulbs made 
this year have each two leaves, while last year they had but one. Mr. 
Stevens, gardener to W. J. Thompson, Esq., writes respecting the Walton 
Grange plant. This is interesting confirmation of the facts stated last 
month, at p. 327. 
A figure of Cypripedium Charlesworthii is given in the last number of 
Lindenia, but most. unaccountably the name is treated as one which has 
become current in gardens without recognised authority, and the original 
description in our pages is relegated to a subordinate position, while the 
coloured plate is not cited at all. 
A splendid raceme of Odontoglossum crispum comes from the collection 
of W. J. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, bearing seventeen fine 
flowers. It is a light pink unspotted variety, and affords an excellent 
example of good culture. 
The pretty little Cattleya x Marstersoniz has just flowered in the collec- 
tion of the Rt. Hon. J. Chamberlain, Highbury, Moor Green, Birmingham, 
and a flower has been sent by Mr. Burberry. It is one of Mr. Seden’s 
hybrids, raised from C. Loddigesii ? and C. labiata 3, and most resembles 
the former, except in the lip, which is much like that of C. labiata.
