in the throat. The plant was imported in 1907, and has flowered twice, 
this time bearing seven flowers. — 
A flower of the pretty Cattleya Schroederz highburiensis is sent from 
the collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.P., by Mr. Mackay, 
who remarks that the plant is bearing seven flowers. The petals are broad, 
and the colour blush pink, with a slightly darker, much crisped lip, and a 
buff yellow blotch in the throat. A fine bloom of Odontoglossum crispum 
is also enclosed, measuring over 4} inches from tip to tip of the petals, and 
having a few brown blotches on the lateral sepals and lip. 
Several very handsome Odontoglossums are sent from the collection of 
H. S. Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr. Day. They include several 
forms of the very variable O. Lambeauianum, and among the more distinct 
is a beautiful white form, with a large purple-red blotch at the base of each 
segment, and another very beautiful variety with purple ground colour, and 
very numerous small blotches, which are almost confluent in the petals. 
There are also good blotched forms of O. crispum and O. X armainvil- 
lierense, with a fine O. X Wiganianum. They form a very distinct and 
beautiful series, but are unnamed, so that we cannot say which of them 
represent special varieties. 
A flower of the very handsome Cattleya X Dr. R. Schiffman Westonbirt 
_ var., which received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. on May 4th, 
is sent from the collection of Lieut.-Col. G. L. Holford, Westonbirt, by 
Mr. Alexander. It is exceptionally large, and has very broad blush-pink 
sepals and petals, and a bright purple-lip, with a yellow disc and a whitish 
area on each of the side lobes. 
A fine form of Cattleya Mendelii, called C. M. majestica, is sent from 
the collection of F. Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, Woking (gr. Mr. Hopkins). 
The flower is blush-pink, with the front lobe of the lip purple, and some 
light yellow in the throat.
