May, 1908.) THE ORCHID REVIEW. 159 
deep yellow ground colour, on which the red-brown stripes show up with 
special brilliance. The basal third of the dorsal sepal, the upper halves 
of the petals, and the front of the lip are suffused with dark brown, but 
elsewhere the stripes stand out very distinctly. We should suspect that the 
villosum parent was P. villosum aureum. 
CHYTROGLOSSA MARILEONIZ. 
A VERY interesting little Orchid has appeared in a Brazilian importation of 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, and is now flowering in their establishment at 
Bruges, which proves to be Chytroglossa Marileoniz, described by 
Reichenbach in 1863 (Hamb. Gartenz. 1863, p. 546). It belongs to the 
tribe Oncidiez and is allied to Ornithocephalus and Zygostates. The plant 
grows in tufts on the slender branches of trees, in this respect resembling 
some dwarf Masdevailia, and produces short pendulous racemes of six to 
about twelve flowers. The sepals and petals are spreading and light green, 
and the lip three-lobed, with white side lobes, and a pair of dark purple 
blotches near the base, with a few smaller spots. RK. A. BR. 
NOTES. 
A MEETING of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall,

The Great Annual Flower Show will be held in the Inner Temple 
Gardens, Thames Embankment, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,

on the first day, and the Exhibition will open to Fellows and the public at 
12 o’clock. Class I. is devoted to Orchids, and a number of Silver Cups 
and Medals will be awarded, according to merit. 
Owing to the limited space at disposal, the extent of the groups is limited, 
in the case of Orchids to 200 square feet each. 
Exhibitors please note :—‘‘ The Council desire that all groups should be 
less crowded, and that masses of colour should be broken up by the use of 
Steen foliage. It would be far better if exhibitors would be content to show 
less and confine it to the best of their produce only.” There is also the 
sulutary condition that “ All plants must be named.” 
Entries for groups, &c., close on Friday, May 15th, but single plants for 
Certificate may be entered up to May 2fst, but not later.
