358 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
C. 1. Sander, according to a flower from the collection of R. Brooman 
White, Esq., Arddarroch, Garelochead, Dumbartonshire (gr. Mr. Roberts), 
is a beautiful white form differing from C. 1. elegans (supra, I. p. 360) in 
having the crimson-purple, somewhat feathered blotch only half as broad as 
the lip, thus leaving a very broad white margin, which is slightly flushed 
with pale rosy lilac. The side lobes are also lightly veined with the same 
colour. 
The one called R. I. Measures’s variety is nearly an albino, and a most 
charming thing it is. The usual yellow disc is reduced to a pale primrose 
tint, and the front lobe of the lip beautifully veined with light pink on 
a white ground. A flower has been sent by Mr. H. Chapman, gr. to R. I. 
Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell. It is very distinct and 
beautiful. 
C.1. delicata is a charming light variety from the collection of W. J. 
Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, Staffs., sent by Mr. Stevens. The 
front lobe of the lip is beautifully reticulated with slaty lilac nerves on 
a lighter ground, and the disc very light yellow. The rest of the flower is 
nearly white, with just a tinge of pale lilac. It is well shaped, and alto- 
gether a very distinct and attractive variety. 
C. 1. Youngiana is a remarkable variety, in which the petals approach 
the lip in shape, except that they are flat and recurved, and further, they 
have a smaller crimson-purple blotch at the apex. The dorsal sepal is 
similar in shape, over an inch and a half broad, with a rather smaller purple 
blotch, while the peculiarity also extends to the lateral sepals in a somewhat 
smaller degree. The lip and column are normal. We have received a 
flower and photographs of this handsome form from Reginald Young, Esq., 
Sefton Park, Liverpool. 
A very remarkable pelioriate form has appeared with Messrs. Collins and 
Collins, Cumberland Park Nurseries, Willesden, and was exhibited at the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s meeting on November 1 3th last. The raceme 
bore two quite different flowers. The first was a perfectly regular peloria, 
having three rosy lilac petals, quite uniform in shape and colour, and 
a straight triquetrous column, with three perfect anthers, but no stigma. 
‘he sepals were quite normal. ‘The uppermost bloom had two lips, a little 
shorter than usual, one quite perfect and the other nearly so, while the 
third inner segment was an ordinary petal in every respect, except that it 
was short and broad, and of the same dimensions as the two lips. The 
column was shorter than in the other flower, without anthers, but with 
a single nearly terminal stigma. The example is very interesting and 
instructive, and helps to confirm the theory that the lip is developed at 
the expense of the anthers. The three anthers developed were those of 
_ the outer staminal whorl. .
