ApriL, 1908. ] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 127 
A very fine branched inflorescence of Odontoglossum x Rolfez is sent 
from the collection of William Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by 
Mr. Stevens, together with O. X mulus magnificum, and a third very 
handsome thing which has hitherto passed as a form of O. X Crawshayanum, 
though its identity is not quite certain. 
An inflorescence of Orchis longibracteata is sent from the collection of 
G. W. Jessop, Esq., Rawdon, Leeds, by Mr. Wilkinson. It is a very early- 
flowering species, whose history was given at page 93 of our fourteenth 
volume. 
A very richly-coloured form of Lelia Jongheana is sent from the 
collection of Sir John Edwards Moss, Roby Hall, St. Mary Church, 
Torquay, which quite rivals the one figured in the Botanical Magazine (t. 
6038) many years ago, when the species was very rare. A very large and 
well-shaped form of Odontoglossum nobile (Pescatorei), is also sent, which 
measures nearly three inches in expanse across the petals. 
A flower and photograph of a very large and beautiful albino Cattleya are 
sent by Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., under the name of C. Lueddemanniana 
alba var. Empress. It is a pure white with the exception of the light 
yellow throat. It was received from Venezuela early in 1907. C. L. 
alba flowered in the collection of M. F. Finet, Argenteuil, in 1886 
(Orchidoph. 1886, p. 365), and was afterwards figured Retchenbachia (ser. 2, 
li. p. 59, t. 74). 
It is interesting to find that the original plant of Dendrobium Kingianum 
album, mentioned at page 88, has not been lost sight of. Mr. Thurgood 
writes that it is in the collection of H. T. Pitt, Esq., of Rosslyn, Stamford 
Hill. It was purchased at Mr. Smee’s sale, and is now a fine plant with 
ten leads, and flowers every year, often producing two and three racemes 
from the apex of the same pseudobulb. We should like to see flowers of it. 
Several fine photographs of plants in the collection of Mrs. B. B. Tuttle, 
of Naugatuck, Conn., U.S.A., are sent by Mr. M. J. Pope. One shows a 
remarkably fine group of over two hundred Phalenopsis Aphrodite, forming 
a very beautiful picture. Mr. Pope remarks that there is quite a variation 
between them in size and colour. One of the photos shows an individual 
plant with a panicle of five branches. A photo of Dendrobium Phalaenopsis 
shows four racemes and 28 flowers on the same growth. It is a nearly white 
variety, and has been self-fertilised, and also crossed with D. formosum, 
in the hope of producing some albinos. The others are a plant of Lycaste 
lasioglossa with twelve flowers on one bulb, and Paphiopedilum x Sallieri 
maculatum, a very handsomely blotched variety.
