SEPTEMBER, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 285 
well-shaped and finely blotched form. There were also good examples of 
O. Hallii, X ardentissimurm, x Andersonianum, X Fascinator, x Coradinei, 
pulchellum, &c., while O. x Thompsonianum was producing a fine spike, 
and we noted a good form of O. X Wattianum princeps. There were also 
examplés of Cochlioda sanguinea, Colax jugosus, Lelia pumila preestans, 
and a good example of Dendrobium Victoria-Regina, in this case not 
suspended, though in a light position, near the glass. Oncidium 
macranthum was also producing very fine bulbs in the same compost. 
In an Intermediate house we saw the richly-coloured Zygopetalum x 
Perrenoudi in bloom, with Dendrobium infundibulum, a good Leliocattleya 
Schilleriana, the pretty Cymbidium tigrinum with three racemes, 
Epidendrum vitellinum, Odontoglossum Uroskinneri, a good example of 
Ornithidium Sophronitis, Chondrorhyncha Chestertoniin bud, a number of 
seedling Cypripediums, and other interesting things. 
The next house contained numerous choice Cypripediums, and among 
those in bloom we noted fine examples of C. Mastersianum, Rothschildi- 
anum, and Argus, with a. very fine C. x nitens, and a number of good C, 
bellatulum from a batch imported many years ago. These included C. b. 
album and the pretty light-coloured variety Princess Clementine. A plant 
of the rare Dendrobium Hodgkinsoni was pointed out, with some good D. 
Phalznopsis and other Dendrobiums, while D. cretaceum and a few good 
Vanda teres were in bloom. It was remarked that some plants of C. 
bellatulum have been in the collection for 21 years. 
In another house we found a number of C. Godefroyz leucochilum in 
bloom and bud, and Dr. Hodgkinson remarked that a plant of C. niveum 
was found in one of the imported clumps, thus affording interesting 
evidence that the two grow together. Some young seedlings were also 
pointed out germinating on the leaves of imported plants, and some have 
been taken off and potted. The fine C. Godefroy xanthochilum, with a 
clear yellow lip, appeared in the same importation. These plants are 
grown in loam, and are placed in a warm sunny position. With them were 
some forms of C. niveum. There were also plants of the charming C. x 
Aylingii, and C. x Vipani, with C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum, some 
seedlings of C. bellatulum, and a nice plant of C. niveum xX Lawrenceanum 
Hyeanum. A plant of the rare Dendrobium Lowii was also noted. 
The Cattleya house contains a good series of the popular kinds, with a 
number of hybrid seedlings, and a good plant of C. labiata Peetersii was 
pointed out, with six or eight plants of the rare C. Rex, from an early 
importation, and these are said to flower well at the proper season. There 
were also some good forms of Lelia: purpurata, Lzliocattleya Schilleriana, 
the pretty little L.-c. Doris, a good Brassocattleya Veitchii, and a fine spike 
of the rare Schomburgkia tibicinis var. grandiflora. The plants are grown
