Juy, 1908. THE ORCHID REVIEW. 165 
The established plants contained most of the leading varieties, but we 
must pass them over. C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum was in bud, and 
among the seedlings pointed out was a batch of C. X Charles Canham x 
Fairrieanum, and another of C. insigne Sandere x Maudie, with a single 
one of C. Madame Alfred Bleu X Fairrieanum. C. insigne Sandere xX 
aureum Surprise, it was pointed out, yielded an ordinary spotted C. 
insigne. 
In another house it was interesting to see a few capsules and seedlings 
of C. Fairrieanum, also a nice batch of C. X Madame Alfred Bleu, with 
very beautiful foliage, and some good C. niveum in bloom, with plants of 
C. X Harrisianum superbum, C. X Pollettianum, a very good C. x 
Leonidas citrinum, with very bright yellow petals and lip, and a number of 
other good things, which we had to pass over. Good plants of Vanda xX 
Marone and V. X Miss Joaquim were pointed out, and one of Bulbophyllum 
Ericssoni. 
Among Cattleyas in flower we noted two good C. intermedia alba, a 
lot of C. Mendelii, C. x calummata, C. Gaskelliana xX amethystoglossa, 
and a lot of the very fragrant C. Schroeder, a few being rather deeply- 
coloured, while C. Warneri alba, and C. X Madame Myra Peeters were in 
bud. Hybrid Cattleyas were very numerous, some of them from albino 
parents, but we had very little time for details, though M. Peeters pointed 
out that the white C. x Parthenia nobilissima X Hardyana alba, had 
_ produced some white forms, and others with blush-coloured sepals and 
petals and richly coloured lips. 
Among Lzlio-cattleyas in bloom we noted a fine L.-c. Cholletiana, and 
the richly coloured L.-c. La Vesuve. We also saw L.-c. elegans X Brass- 
avola Digbyana, with a good light purple flower, Epidéndrum Stamford- 
ianum, Phaius x Norman, Miltonia vexillaria memoria G. D. Owen, with 
six flowers, &c. A batch of about ten seedlings from Miltonia Warscewiczii 
X Odontoglossum xX Lambeauianum was also interesting, and there were 
capsules on the same species of Miltonia as the result of crossing with O. 
crispum Franz Masereel. 
The Odontoglossums formed a specially interesting feature, because of 
the rapid progress that is being made in raising these beautiful Orchids 
from seed, and the numerous fine forms in flower. Seven long houses were 
devoted to them, and the first three contained chiefly hybrids, of which 
there was a very fine display. 
In the first house entered there was a remarkable series of O. x Lam- 
beauianum in flower, showing a very wide range of variation in colour and 
markings. It included forms with white and rosy ground colour, with few 
or many large or small spots, and a very considerable variation in the 
shape and details of the lip. Some of them were very handsome.
