126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1903. 
-amabilis, Dendrobium xX Waltoni (melanophthalmum), and others, the 
whole forming avery pretty little group. 
Several fine forms of Dendrobium nobile are sent from the collection 
-of Mrs. Grogan, Slaney Park, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow, which came out 
.of a batch of imported plants. One of them measures 44 inches across, while 
another quite rivals D. n. nobilius in shape and richness of colour. A 
pretty form of D. aureum, aproaching the variety cinnamomeum, is also 
sent. 
Dendrobium aureum sulphureum is a very pretty sulphur-yellow 
variety, from Mr. J. Cypher, of Cheltenham, in which the usual orange 
‘markings have vanished. It appeared among some imported plants. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, Buckingham Gate, Westminster, during April, on the 7th and atst, 
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 April 2nd and 16th. The 
Committee meets at 11.30 a.m., and the exhibits are open to inspection 
from 12.30 to 3 p.m. 
As already announced, the Great International Horticultural Exhibition 
of the Société Royale d’Agriculture et de Botanique de Gand, will be held 
at Ghent from April 18th to 26th next. No less than seventy-six classes 
are devoted to Orchids, and we learn that a large and representative 
display is anticipated, in which our British collections will be included. It is 
hardly necessary to add that the Ghent Quinquennial is one of the most 
important events of the season, and invariably brings together a large 
assemblage of Continental and British horticulturists. 
M. L. Linden, Moortebeek, Brussels, writes that he has hybrids from 
‘Odontoglossum crispum ¢ and Miltonia vexillaria ¢, which are now 
strong plants and promise to flower soon. They appear to be quite 
intermediate between the parents. We hope to be favoured with an 
example when the flowers appear. 
A flower of a distinct form of Odontoglossum Rossii called ‘‘ Low’s 
variety,” to which an Award of Merit was given by the R.H.S. on March 
toth last, is sent by Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., of Bush Hill Park. The 
markings on the sepals and base of the petals are light green instead of the 
usual red-purple tint, and thus it is referable to the variety O. Rossii 
virescens, -
