334 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NOVEMBER, 1908. 
The next house contained some good Cattleya labiata in bloom, with a 
lot of Lelia anceps suspended from the roof, and throwing up sturdy spikes. 
There were also several examples of Lzelio-cattleya Remula, from a batch 
raised in the collection and varying considerably in colour, some having the 
sepals and petals bronzy purple and others greenish, a sturdy plant of 
Cypripedium insigne Harefield Hall var., bearing five buds and a capsule, 
C. beechense, and other good things. 
A third house contained a good batch of Dendrobium Phalzenopsis in 
flower, these having been in the collection about twelve years. They 
showed much variation in colour, and included a bright rosy variety which 
has received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. We noted also Oncidium 
Papilio in bloom, several good Cypripedium Charlesworthii, C. x Trans- 
vaal, C. X selligerum, C. insigne varieties Ernestii and Dorothy, Brassia 
brachiata with two spikes, two plants of Zygopetalum maxillare with three 
spikes each, and a curious little Dichza species, which is seldom out ot 
- bloom, and whose identity is uncertain. 
In the next division of the range we noted a fine example of Cypripedium 
X bingleyense bearing two twin-flowered scapes, half a dozen C. Spiceri- 
anum in bloom, a good C. x Charlesianum, varieties of C. insigne, Epiden- 
drum osmanthum, E. floribundum with two fine panicles, Cattleya Harris- 
oniana, Leelio-cattleya intermedio-flava in spike, and that charming little 
gem, Pleurothallis astrophora, with several racemes of flowers. 
Coming toa longer detached house we found a plant of Dendrobium 
superbiens bearing three fine spikes, examples of Ccelogyne fimbriata and 
fuliginosa in bloom, Epidendrum x O’Brienianum, a good Lelia Dayana 
with three flowers, Cattleya Aclandiz, the handsome Cypripedium xX Stot- 
tianum, in which the characters of C. x cenanthum and C. Charlesworthii 
are blended, and the dorsal sepal is handsomely marbled, the pretty C. X 
Daphne, C. x longwoodense (x Leeanum x Charlesworthii), C. X 
Arthurianum, a good C. x Hitchinsiz, C. X miniatum (Curtisii x insigne), 
with five blooms, &c. 
Another long house contained examples of Cattleya x rubescens, a 
pretty hybrid between C. labiata and dolosa, Phalznopsis Esmeralda, 
Lelia crispilabia, Brassocattleya Digbyano-Mendelii, Oncidium Harrisoni- 
anum, O. ornithorhynchum in bud, Dendrobium x Galatea, Cypripedium 
insigne Sandere, C. x gigas, with various other hybrids. A few have 
arisen as stray seedlings, and in some cases the parentage is uncertain. 
One curious cross between the two varieties of C. insigne, Dorothy and 
Sander, has reverted to a light green form of the type with much brown 
spotting on the dorsal sepal, and is noted in more 
Another house contained a fine Cattleya 
flowered spike, a good C. x Pittiana,
