APRIL, 1903.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 127 
It is interesting to record that a fine plant of the remarkable Eulophiella 
Peetersiana has just flowered with Mr. F. W. Moore, A.L.S., at the Royal 
Botanic Garden, Glasnevin. The spike measured 54 feet long, and 
carried twenty-eight flowers, while the largest leaf is 4 feet 1 inch long by 
5% inches broad. The top of the spike, bearing thirteen flowers, was 
exhibited at the R. H. S. meeting on March 24th. The colour was paler 
purple than the one which flowered with Sir Trevor Lawrence, in April 
1898, and was figured as the frontispiece to our sixth volume. 
A most remarkable deformity of some Paphiopedilum hybrid is sent 
from the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-Mare. It 
appears to be only a single flower, with the usual dorsal sepal, two petals, 
and staminode, but there are three lateral sepals, and the lip is replaced by 
five crumpled organs of lip-like texture and appearance. The seedling has 
green leaves, and produced four or five growths before flowering. Its 
parentage is at present doubtful. 
The March number of Messrs. Cogniaux and Goossens useful little 
Dictionnaire Iconographique des Orchidées contains figures of the following :— 
Bulbophyllum macranthum, Calanthe x Dominii, Cattleya x Whitei, 
Cymbidium Devonianum, Cypripedium barbatum, C. Haynaldianum, 
Lzlio-cattleya X callistoglossa inversa, L.-c. X Emiliz, L.-c. x Orpetiana 
massiliensis, Lycaste Smeeana,* Phalznopsis Sanderiana, Saccolabium 
ampullaceum, and Vanda Sanderiana Froebeliana. 
At the Horticultural Congress, organised by the Société Nationale 
@horticulture de France, which will be opened at Paris on May 22nd next, 
two important questions relating to Orchids are on the programme, namely, 
(a) What is the most practical and most efficacious method of sowing, 
germinating and raising seedling Orchids? and (6) The rational application 
of culture in leaf-mould to all genera of Orchids. 
A flower of the brilliant Phaio-calanthe x Ruby is sent from the 
collection of N. C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, by 
Mr. H. J. Chapman. It is a most beautiful hybrid, with rose-pink 
sepals and petals, and the most brilliant ruby-crimson lip. In shape it 
most resembles the Calanthe parent. 
With reference to the reported rapid flowering of a Cattleya seedling 
(pp. 66, 83), Mr. Odell writes that it was aseedling Calanthe exhibited at 
the meeting in question to which he called attention, but in some way it 
was transposed to “Cattleya” in the Report.
