284 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [SEPTEMBER, 1908. 
quently figured in Lindenia (xi. t. 499), and has green flowers with a few 
brown spots on the llp, as well as on the sepals and petals. Lastly came 
callosum (L. Lind. in Journ. d. Orch. vi. p. 283), which is said to have rather 
small flowers, and some brown spots on the lip. It has the same history as 
the preceding. 
In 1891 female flowers appeared in the collection of W. J. Wright, Esq., 
of Denmark Hill, a plant being exhibited at a meeting of the R.H.S. on 
September 5th, being two male and two female flowers on the same 
inflorescence. It is now preserved at Kew. The plant had been obtained 
from Monte Video. 
The habitat of the species apparently remained unknown until 1887, 
when Messrs. Sander sent for determination materials said to have been 
obtained from Paraguay. This and the Uragayan locality have since been 
confirmed. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
AA WELL-FLOWERED scape of Cypripedium x Maudie is sent from the 
collection of J. J. Holden, Esq., Oban House, Southport, by Mr. 
R. Johnson, who remarks that he has never seen such a_ thing 
before, nor can he hear of anyone that has. The first flower was 
splendidly developed, and the second expanded in water. A portrait of a 
single flower appears on page 266. 
A flower of a pretty little hybrid from Cattleya velutina is sent from the 
collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.P., Highbury, Birming- 
ham, by Mr. Mackay. The second parent is unfortunately not known, but 
the pollinia show that it was some other Cattleya. The plant has two- 
leaved pseudobulbs, and the inflorescence is at present two-flowered. The 
flower most resembles C. velutina in shape, but is larger, and has light 
greenish sepals and petals, the margins of the latter being strongly suffused 
with light purple. The lip is three-lobed, with a deep yellow tube, the side 
lobes tinged with lilac at the apex, and the front lobe lilac-purple, closely 
veined with bright purple on the lower half. 
A very varied and beautiful series of flowers is sent from the collection of 
J. J. Neale, Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Haddon. It includes a very hand- 
some flower of Lelia grandiflora (majalis). The plants are grown with 
Sarracenias, exposed to fullsun, and syringed several times a day, and are 
said to have done very well this year. Other well-known showy species are 
Cattleya Gaskelliana and Warscewiczii, Lelio-cattleya amanda and a very 
pretty little hybrid said to be from Cattleya maxima x Lelia pumila, 
having rosy-lilac sepals and petals of good shape, and a very dark crimson 
undulate lip, with a deep yellow throat, and rich crimson veining on the 
disc, Paphiopedilum exul, P, Parishii, and the rare P. prestans, Vanda
