ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SEVERAL beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of H. S. Goodson, 
Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr. Day. There is a good form of Odontioda 
Bradshawiz measuring over 2% inches across, and having broad cinnabar 
red sepals and petals, the latter with three or four whitish lines near the 
base, the lip margined and blotched with cinnabar-red, on a pale ground, 
and the crest and disc bright yellow. Another, called Odontioda “Ernest 
Henry,” is said to have been derived from Cochlioda Neetzliana and 
Odontoglossum X Queen Alexandra, and received a First-class Certificate 
from the R. H. S. on April 6th. The flower measures over two inches 
across, and has broad sepals of an almost uniform dull claret-red, inclining 
to brown, with an orange-coloured crest. He also sends a very fine, well- 
blotched Odontoglossum xX Lambeauianum, O. X L. Goodson’s var., a 
large and handsome form, with good forms of O. crispum andO. x armain- 
villierense, a very fine O. X Rolfew, a good Cattleya Mendelii and flowers 
of the handsome Phaius X Marthe, anda larger, much lighter form, called 
Goodson’s variety. 
Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, Esq., 
of Penarth, and among them three pretty forms of Odontoglossum xX Adriane, 
two having a light yellow ground, the third white, and all regularly spotted 
with brown on each of the segments. Two forms labelled O. crispum have 
a clear white ground, with regular red-brown blotches on all the 
segments, and may be forms of the same hybrid, which they closely 
resemble except in having a more crispum-like lip. In one case the column 
wings are entire. This hybrid may be described as quite confluent with 
O. crispum. A flower of O. X loochristiense is also enclosed, and Mr, 
Haddon remarks that this and all the other forms just mentioned have 
flowered out of an importation of O. crispum. Other pretty Odonto- 
glossums enclosed are O. cirrhosum Klabochorum, sceptrum, pulchellum and 
maculatum. There is alsoa spike of the pretty rose-coloured Arpophyllum 
giganteum, which in shape resembles a lamp brush, a richly-coloured Phaius 
grandifolius, Masdevallia caudata, a flower of the interesting Cirrhopetalum 
Wendlandianum, a near ally of C. Collettii, the brilliant Renanthera 
Imschootiana, Lelia Cowanii, Dendrobium thyrsiflorum and chrysotoxum, 
Cattleya Skinneri and Lawrenceana, Epidendrum x O’Brienianum, and a 
small yellow-flowered Polystachya from West Africa. 
A noble form of Odontoglossum crispum is sent from the collection of 
J. H. Grogan, Esq., Slaney Park, Baltinglass. It measures 3} inches from 
tip to tip of the petals, themselves barely under 1} inches across, and the 
sepals overi} inches. The shape is nearly circular, and all the segments 
are prettily crisped. The petals are pure white, and the sepals tinged with
