OCTOBER, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. : 295 
Miltonia candida, M. spectabilis Moreliana, and two or three natural hybrids 
are in bloom. Vanda Kimballiana and ccerulea are throwing up good spikes, 
and the pretty little Paphiopedilum Fairrieanum is sending up a number of 
scapes. Odontoglossum grande is now throwing up some good spikes, and 
will soon make a fine show, and Maxillaria grandiflora is blooming freely. 
In this house the chief thing that requires attention now, will be to mature 
the growths in preparation for the coming winter. 
In the Cool house not very much is now in bloom, except a few 
Masdevallias and Odontoglossums, though among the latter are the hand- 
some O. Uroskinneri, Wallisii, Pescatorei, Krameri, with odd plants of O. 
crispum, and a few others out of season. O. crispum seems to bloom at 
any season, and a few spikes of this and others are pushing up. The plants 
are now growing freely, and care should be taken not to let the temperature 
fall low enough on cold nights to give them a check, also to see that they do 
not suffer from want of moisture. They will want all the light possible 
during the coming dull season. The pretty little Stenoglottis longifolia is 
beginning to bloom, and Zygopetalum maxillare, growing on tree fern 
stems, is throwing up spikes. 
In the Warm house the handsome Vanda suavis is in bloom, with 
Listrostachys Chailluana, Phalznopsis Esmeralda, Ancistrochilus Thom- 
sonianus, a few Angrzecums, and other things, while the beautiful Dendrobium 
Phalznopsis is producing a number of spikes, and some are already in 
bloom. In foggy localities the blooms often suffer, as it is one of the most 
susceptible to fog, on which account it should be encouraged to grow and 
bloom as early as possible. The summer-flowering Cypripedes are not yet 
over, and a number of hybrids are in bloom in this house. This is the time 
when the American species of the Phragmopedilum set produce their new 
spikes, and the hybrids Sedeni, cardinale and others are now very effective, 
and will continue to bloom freely for months. They have an unfortunate 
habit of dropping their flowers before they fade, but it seems to make 
little difference to the display, and they are among the easiest of Orchids to 
grow. 
STANHOPEA GRAVEOLENS. 
SINCE pointing out the confusion between Stanhopea inodora and S. 
graveolens (Orch. Rev., 1. p. 258) I have come across some additional informa- 
tion respecting the latter, and the receipt of a flower from Messrs. Stuart 
Low & Co. affords an opportunity of putting it on record. Its history was 
previously given. Mr. Day has twice drawn the species, first in August, 
1864 (Orch. Draw., iii. t. 58), from a plant which he obtained from Messrs. 
Rollisson, as S. Wardii, but afterwards corrected the name, and again in. 
August, 1886 (/.c., li. t. 41). On this occasion he wrote: ‘‘ Being anxious
