mentioned as following during 1902 being several Cattleyas and the Dove 
Orchid, Peristeria elata. 
Tue “ Butt-Doc Orcuip.”—We thought that Oncidium Papilio and 
the allied O. Kramerianum were popularly known as Butterfly Orchids, 
But the Gardening World, in figuring the latter, in a recent issue, remarks 
of it as follows:—In the North this species is popularly known as the 
‘‘ Bull-Dog Orchid,” from the fact that the crest of the lip resembles more or 
less clearly the face of that animal. Not all are exactly alike, but the 
face-like appearance is often very striking and evident.” 
OponTOGLOssUM MIDGLEYANUM, is said to be a plant from the collec- 
tion of H. H. Hunnewell, Esq., to which a Silver Medal was given by the 
Massachussetts Horticultural Society in 1902, but there is not the slightest 
clue as to what it is (Trans. Mass. Hort. Soc., 1903, p- 144). We should 
be obliged for any information which would enable the question to be 
cleared up. 
Photographs of a handsome form of Paphiopedilum xX Rolfei are sent 
from the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-Mare, being 
the finest form which has yet flowered. Mr. Appleton remarks :—‘‘ I made 
the cross both ways; in April, 1894, bellatulum X Rothschildianum, and in 
February, 1895, Rothschildianum X bellatulum. The former cross I have 
not yet succeeded in flowering, as the plants grow and keep throwing young 
growths but no flowers; but the latter, with Rothschildianum as the seed 
parent, make much stronger growths and flowers all right.” It is ‘a very 
handsome form, the plant bearing two scapes, one being twin-flowered, and 
it is interesting to have the exact history. 
A curious hybrid Cattleya was exhibited at the R. H. 5. meeting on 
August 18th by Messrs. Stanley Ashton and Co., of Southgate, as a hybrid 
_between C. bicolor and C. Rex. It most resembled the former in shape, 
‘except in having small side lobes to the lip, about half as long as the 
‘column. The sepals and petals, however, were less fleshy, the latter 
broadened at the apex, and all light purple in colour, while the lip was 
lilac, with some darker veining. 
A very pretty form of Odontoglossum X Adriane is sent from the 
collectionof R. Ashworth, Esq., Newchurch, Manchester, by Mr. Pidsley, 
“having clear bright yellow flowers, and only a few small brown spots on 
the sepals. It was imported among Odontoglossum crispum in 1599, and 
flowered last year for the first time.
