328 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NovEMBER, 1908. 
L.-c. exoniensis. Lastly, L.-c. Lustre is a magnificent hybrid from C. 
Lueddemanniana x L.-c. callistoglossa, of which several plants were in 
flower. With these were several plants of Vanda Kimballiana, two fine 
specimens having thirteen and fourteen spikes respectively, three good 
Cymbidium erythrostylum, one with three spikes, the best bearing twelve 
flowers, about thirty spikes of Oncidium varicosum Rogersil, Zygocolax 
Wiganianus superbus, a few Pleiones, Sophrocattleya Nydia, Sophrocat- 
lzlia Medeia, a yellowish form of S.-c.-l. Danze, a remarkably fine form of 
Brassocattleya Mrs. J. Leemann, B.-c. Pluto, B.-c. Madame Hye, and many 
others. The house was literally a blaze of colour, and the plants all select 
forms, and remarkably well grown. 
The Cypripedium house to the right contained a remarkably fine series, 
culture and quality being alike excellent. Of C. insigne there were over a 
thousand buds and flowers in the house, including a magnificent specimen 
of C. i. Harefield Hall var.—the finest known, and all from a single growth 
—with thirteen scapes, one being twin-flowered, C. i. Sanderze with fifteen 
(there were sixty scapes altogether), C. i. Sanderianum with eleven, &c., 
all the best types being represented. Of C. Fairrieanum there were 
specimens with six and seven flowers, of excellent quality. There were also 
C. x Arthurianum with twelve flowers, C. x Germaine Opoix, and its 
variety King Edward, two very beautiful forms, the handsome C. x Cap- 
tain Holford (hirsutissimum x superbiens), a good well-spotted C. xX 
Cythera, the richly-coloured C. x Milo, Westonbirt var., some very richly- 
coloured C. x Dante (x Euryades x Charlesworthii), showing much 
variation, the large and well-spotted C. Hannibal, C. x Niobe Weston- 
birt var., with three flowers, the beautiful C. x Rossetti, with clear yellow 
flowers and handsomely marbled leaves, and a form of C. x Bianca with 
three light yellow flowers, and the dorsal sepal white, except a small area 
at the base, on which were a few minute purple dots. This was the first 
of the batch to flower. There was also a very richly-coloured form of C. 
x Richmanii with two scapes, one of them twin-flowered, and as this has 
been crossed with C. Fairrieanum, some very handsome hybrids should 
result. These are only a few out of a remarkable series of plants in flower, 
including many well-known choice varieties which we must pass over. But 
we may mention a good lot of C. x Leeanum varieties, including plants 
with two and three dozen scapes. 
Our notes have extended to such a length that it will be better to defer 
an account of the new range mentioned, which embodies several interesting 
features, until next month, when there are several additional matters 
which we hope to touch upon. 
Holford, and his able grower, Mr. 
of the collection generally. 
Meantime we must congratulate Col. 
Alexander, upon the excellent condition
