SEPTEMBER, 1908.] THE ORCAID REVIEW. 259 
grandiflora, has never received any recognition from the Orchid Committee 
of the R.H.S. But there is yet time, and it will one day achieve that 
distinction. Other Sophronitis hybrids were Sophrocattleya Saxa (S. g. 
x C. Trianz), S.-c. eximia, Fowler’s var. (S. g. X C. Bowringiana), the 
finest variety of this cross, and which received a First-class Certificate last 
December. Growing with these was a plant of Lelia pumila alba var. E. 
Ashworth, an extremely rare, pure white variety, the lip having just a faint 
shading of yellow in the throat. Zygopetalum Perrenoudii superbum and 
other interesting things were also growing here. : 
In the next division of this house were some choice Cattleyas, including 
C. labiata alba Princess of Wales, C. Trianz J. G. Fowler, Lelio-cattleya 
Canhamiana alba, Brassocattleya Schroedere-Digbyana, Fowler’s var., &c., 
while at the end of the house, in cases, a large number of Cattleyas were 
germinating quite freely. With such an excellent choice of parent plants 
as the Glebelands’ collection affords much should be expected here in the 
way of choice hybrids in the years to come. 
In the house in which the warmer-growing kinds of Cypripediums are, 
many examples of good culture were noted. The Cypripediums are old 
favourites, and there are here a large number of rare and valuable plants 
which it would be quite impossible for me to do justice to. C. xX Leeanum 
var. J. G. Fowler is doing well. The foliage of this plant is quite distinct 
from the foliage of the ordinary Leeanum, and leads one to suspect that 
there is more than insigne and Spicerianum in its composition. There 
were fine specimens of C. X Troilus, X J. H. Veitch, X Miss Louisa Fowler 
superbum, X calloso-Rothschildianum (one of them in flower), X Chapmanii, 
the choicer varieties of the variable C. X aureum, many fine C. X nitens, a 
plant of C. x I’Ansoni, Daisy Barclay, Fowlerianum, the fine son 
giganteum.(two er three plants), Mrs. Wm. Mostyn, F. K. Sander, Actzus 
Fowler’s var., the albinos, and numberless other fine Cypripediums. A 
number of home-raised seedlings of good promise were Mrs. Wm. Mostyn 
crossed with Lawrenceanum, a fine dark var. A plant of the rare Phaius 
mishmiensis was growing well in this house. 
The next house might be described as cool-intermediate, and was 
largely filled with Cymbidiums, which include the later introductions, 
among which was the C. insigne Glebeland’s var. A considerable batch of 
Miltonia vexillaria were doing exceedingly well with these. 
In a lean-to house the Lelia anceps were growing suspended. Here 
again we find a good collection of these beautiful Lzlias, which have been 
rather neglected of late years. The plants here were doing well, their 
position, close up to to the light, suiting them. In the next and hotter 
division of this house were the Dendrobiums. The selection is a good one, 
and, like other choice collections of Dendrobiums, they are mostly of hybrid
