JuNE, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 183 
feet in extent, and very profusely flowered, the excellence of which was 
recognised by the award of a Silver Cup. 
Mrs. A. Chalmers, Bromley, Kent, sent a good plant of Dendrobium 
lituiflorum, with two flowering pseudo-bulbs, the best bearing about 16 
racemes. 
M. S. Cooke, Esq., Kingston Hall (gr. Mr. Budall), sent a hybrid 
Odontoglossum bearing a spike with four side branches and about 28 flowers. 
It was called O. x mulus, but the flowers were much larger than the ordinary 
form, and presented some features of O. x Wilckeanum. The flowers were 
yellow well blotched with brown, and the lip showed distinctly the 
luteopurpureum crest. 
The executors of the late Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam- 
on-Tyne (gr. Mr. Chapman), sent Odontioda Cooksone (C. Neetzliana X 
O. ardentissimum), a pretty orange-scarlet flower, with a rosy margin which 
was separated from the body colour by a narrow yellow line, O. Bradshawiz 
Cookson’s var., a very pretty flower of an almost uniform orange-red, 
Odontoglossum X percultum Clive (Rolfe x ardentissimum), a well- 
blotched and richly coloured form, O. x Cooksonianum (mirificum xX 
crispum), most like a well-blotched form of the latter, and O. x Solon 
Cookson’s var. (Adrianz xX ardentissimum), fairly intermediate in shape, 
colour and markings. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, staged a magnificent 
group, remarkable alike for quality and culture, to which a Gold Medal was 
awarded. It was specially remarkable for the number of fine hybrids it 
contained, foremost among which we may mention a charming littie cluster 
of Odontiodas near the centre of the group, which included the brilliant O. 
Charlesworthii,.O. x Lutetia, O. heatonensis, and several forms of O. 
Vuylstekeze and O. Bradshawiz, showing considerable variation in colour 
and markings, and not always easy to distinguish. Odontoglossums 
included many excellent O. crispum, typical and blotched, the latter a 
beautiful series of home-raised seedlings, O. Pescatorei Charlesworthii, some 
richly coloured forms of O. xX Lambeauianum and X _ percultum, the 
charming O. X armainvillierense xanthotes, O. X Othello Golden Glow, a 
beautiful yellow, well-spotted form of excellent shape, O. X Phoebe, O. X 
Thompsonianum, O. X hibernicum, the pretty O. crispum Queen Maud, 
having a spike of 17 flowers, whose small lip and curiously blotched petals 
suggest some peliorate condition, some fine forms of Cattleya Mendelii and 
Mossiz, including the beautiful C. Mossia Wageneri, a fine plant of C. 
Skinneri, and others, some excellent Lzliocattleya Fascinator, Feronia, 
Golden Glow, Canhamiana, Elinor and others. We noted also some good 
Miltonia vexillaria, the fine Trichopilia Backhouseana, Lelia purpurata, 
Oncidium luridum, O. Brienianum, Sobralia xantholeuca, Dendrobium
