OCTOBER, 1903-| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 31T 
A good form of Lzelio-cattleya X Schilleriana is sent from the collection 
of J. W. Arkle, Esq., West Derby, Liverpool. It was purchased as an 
imported L.-c. x elegans. A flower of the handsome Stanhopea insigne is 
also sent. This genus has been somewhat neglected of late years, but we 
are glad to find that they are appreciated in several collections. 
A good form of Cattleya Gaskelliana is sent by M. Aug. Chantin, of 
Paris. The sepals and petals are delicate lilac blush, and the lip rich 
purple-crimson in front, with the disc deep yellow, more or less veined with 
light reddish-maroon towards the base. 
A very interesting series is sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, 
Esq., of Penarth. A flower of the rare Houlletia Brocklehurstiana was. 
cut from a splendid spike of nine flowers, and Mr. Davy remarks that the 
plant has been grown inan intermediate temperature, and kept comparatively 
dry at the root all the year round. Diacrium bilamellatum is another 
rarity, which is said to be flowering out of season from a very young and 
small growth. The flowers are considerably smaller than those of D. 
bicornutum, and pure white. Other interesting things are Catasetum 
ftmbriatum, Polystachya laxiflora, Epidendrums nocturnum and umbellatum, 
Oncidiums macranthum and excavatum, a pretty form of Odontoglossum 
crispum from a small imported plant, Masdevallias bella, Troglodytes, 
peristeria, demissa, Reichenbachiana, and Heathii, and a curious little 
Stelis whose identity is at present uncertain. It is interesting to find 
another collection in which botanical rarities receive such attention, 
ZYGOPETALUM x RCBLINGIANUM. 
THE two-flowered inflorescence of the handsome Zygopetalum X Reeb. 
lingianum has been kindly sent by Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart., Clare 
Lawn, East Sheen, and a few days earlier we had the pleasure of seeing the 
plant in the collection. It is a hybrid raised in the collection of C. G. 
Reebling, Esq., Trenton, New Jersey, by Mr. H. T. Clinkaberry, from 
Zygopetalum rostratum ? and Z. maxillare Gautieri g, and received a 
Certificate at the Spring Show of the New York Horticultural Society in 
May, 1902, as recorded at page 220 of our last volume. When Mr. Fritz 
Sander was in the United States in the following autumn he brought one of 
the plants over, to be flowered, exhibited, and sold by auction, the 
amount realised to be handed over to the Royal Horticultural Society 
as Mr. Reebling’s gift to the new Horticultural Hall. We saw the plant 
at St. Albans a few weeks ago, and on September 15th it appeared at a 
meeting of the R.H.S., and was awarded a First-class Certificate. On the 
following Friday it was offered for sale at Messrs. Protheroe and Morris’s 
Rooms in Cheapside, and was ultimately knocked down to Sir Frederick
