Marcu, 1903.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 95 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, Buckingham Gate, Westminster, during March, on the roth and 24th 
respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 
12 o’clock noon. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold 
meetings at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on March 5th and roth. The 
‘Orchid Committee meets at 11.30 a.m., and the exhibits are open to 
inspection from 12.30 to 3 p.m. 
A flower of a beautiful hybrid between Paphiopedilum x nitens and 
P. Chamberlainianum is sent by Mrs. Ross, of Florence, which must rank 
as a variety of P. X edgbastonense, which was raised in the Birmingham 
Botanic Garden. It most resembles the latter parent in general character, 
but the dorsal sepal is handsomely spotted and in other respects the 
influence of P. X nitens is apparent. 
A handsome Leelio-cattleya is sent from the collection of Captain C. C. 
Hurst, Burbage, Hinckley, which was purchased as a seedling from the 
Winn collection. The parentage is doubtful, but we suspect it was Lelia 
cinnabarina and some Cattleya of the labiata group, possibly C. War- 
‘scewiczii, which would make it a form of L.-c. X Cappei. The strongly 
corrugated lip recalls L. cinnabarina, and the throat is golden yellow, 
with the apex and margin deep maroon-crimson, while the sepals and 
petals are deep golden yellow. The flower measures 43 inches across, 
and the petals are 14 inches broad. 
A fine hybrid from Paphiopedilum barbatum ¢ and P. xX Charles 
‘Canham ¢, now flowering for the second time, has been sent from the 
collection of Mrs. Hollond, Wonham, Bampton, N. Devon, by Mr. Austin. 
It is a form of P. X Eros, raised in the collection of A. W. Wills, Esq., 
-of Birmingham (0. R., vi, p. 335), and is much like the original form. 
We have received a copy of One and All Gardening for 1903, edited by 
Edward Owen Greening, containing articles on various branches of 
Horticulture, and profusely illustrated, but on this occasion it contains 
nothing about Orchids. It may be remembered that the previous annua 
contained an article on Greenhouse Orchids, which was reviewed, and two 
of the blocks reproduced, in our last volume (pp. 136, 137). 
A remarkable flower of Dendrobium Wardianum is sent from the 
collection of Sir John Edwards-Moss, Bart., through Messrs. Sander & 
Sons. It measures over five inches across, and the orange yellow disc
