252 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AUGUST, 1903. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SEVERAL beautiful Orchids are sent from the collection of R. I. Measures, 
Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell, by Mr. Smith. First may be 
‘mentioned a beautiful inflorescence of Miltonia xX Bleuana bearing eight 
flowers. The plant was not allowed to bloom last year, with the result 
that this year it has made two strong bulbs, each of which has produced an 
eight-flowered raceme. Then there are two good forms of the superb 
Cattleva Warscewiczii, differing chiefly in colour, one being considerably 
lighter than the other, and having the eye-like blotches on the lip very pale 
yellow. Other handsome things are a very fine flower of Lzlio-cattleya x 
Parysatis (C. Bowringiana and L. pumila), combining the best qualities of 
both parents, an inflorescence of Vanda Roxburghii, a plant now not often 
seen, a fine flower of Paphiopedilum Curtisii, together with the rare 
Trichopilia Galeottiana and Masdevallia trinema; the whole being well 
grown, and forming a very effective little group. Mr. Smith also sends a 
photograph showing fourteen flowers of Paphiopedilum Godefroye 
leucochilum, of which they have had a fine show. 
A fine flower of Cattleya Warscewiczii is sent from the collection of J. 
Wilson Potter, Esq., of Croydon, having rosy lilac sepals and petals, and a 
very rich crimson lip, with the two eye-like blotches light yellow in colour. 
A good dark form of Lelio-cattleya XX elegans is also enclosed. 
Several interesting Orchids have been sent from the collection of J. J. 
Neale, Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Davy, including a good Aérides Lobbii, an 
inflorescence of D. moschatum, a good Lelia purpurata, Maxillaria grandi- 
flora, which is said to flower both in June and December in the collection, 
the handsome Oncidium crispum, Epidendrum nemorale, Masdevallia 
Davisii, Veitchiana, coccinea, and melanopus, the latter being delicately 
fragrant, Odontoglossum sceptrum, O. angustatum, and the pretty little 
Maxillaria tenuifolia. Of the latter Mr. Davy remarks that it does very well 
in the Intermediate house potted in leaves just like an Odontoglossum, but 
that it wants a good rest after growth is matured to induce it to flower 
freely. 
A handsome seedling Paphiopedilum is sent from the collection of 
Mrs. Ross, of Florence, whose parentage is somewhat uncertain, though 
the gardener says it came from P. X selligerum and perhaps superbiens, 
but Mrs. Ross thinks that P. Rothschildianum was one of the parents. 
It is a vigorous grower with handsomely marbled leaves, and flowers in 
racemes. The dorsal sepal is closely lined with purple-brown on a light 
ground, and the drooping petals three inches long, and somewhat similar 
in colour. The question of parentage may be cleared up hereafter, as 
similar crosses have been made.
