they are very pretty, and if about two dozen or more plants were arranged, 
with small ferns, upon the stage, no lover of Orchidaceous plants would fail 
to appreciate them. :

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
FLowers of several very beautiful Paphiopedilums are sent from the 
collection of the late R. Tunstill Esq., Monkholme, Burnley, by Mr. W. 
Balmforth. P. X Priam is a most beautiful hybrid derived from P. 
insigne Chantini @ and P. xX Niobe ¢. Mr. Balmforth states the plant 
was exhibited by Messrs. Veitch at the Drill Hall, in November, 1900, 
gaining a First-class Certificate, but has not flowered again until this year, 
when it produced three fine flowers, and gained a First-class Certificate at 
Manchester on February 5th. The dorsal sepal is most beautifully 
speckled with purple. P. X aureum Surprise is a beautiful unspotted 
flower of a soft greenish yellow with the apex of the dorsal sepal white. 
P. X Leeanum Clinkaberryanum isa well-known finely spotted form. The 
well-known P. X Madame Juies Hye is another very handsome hybrid 
in which the Spicerianum character shows to great advantage. All are 
splendidly grown. 
Several fine forms are sent from the collection of Reginald Young, Esq., 
Sefton Park, Liverpool. P. xX Rhodopsis was derived from P. Charles- 
worthii and P. x enfieldense, and the colour of the flower is a pretty 
combination of rose and brown, with a rosy purple staminode. A second 
was purchased as a hybrid between P. Charlesworthii and P. superbiens, 
and has much of the same general character, with a porcelain-white 
crescent-shaped staminode. 
Flowers of several interesting Orchids are sent from the collection of 
E. J. Lovell, Esq., Oakhurst, Oxted, by Mr. Jones. Four fine flowers of 
Lycaste Skinneri show some of the variation to which the species is subject, 
and one pretty form has the crest of the lip bright yellow, and a white 
area round it, while the rest of the lip is purple, also the petals. Odonto- 
glossums include O. triumphans, O. gloriosum, a very good O. Rossii,. 
O. crispum, spotted only on the lip and sepals, and a form of O. X 
Adriane heavily marked with dark crimson spots. The others are Den- 
drobium crassinode, with large purple tips to the sepals, D. Wardianum, 
D. nobile, the rich orange Lelia harpophylla, and a very fine Cattleya 
Loddigesii. 
Several very pretty Dendrobiums are sent from the collection of the 
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.p., by Mr. Mackay. They include 
three richly coloured forms of D. xX Rubens, D. X melanodiscus.
