﻿January, 1904.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 3 r 



NOTES. 



The Royal Horticultural Society will hold two meetings at the Drill Hall, 

 Buckingham Gate, Westminster, during January, on the 5th and 26th, when 



It is interesting to note that a good plant of Paphiopedilum Charles- 

 worthii at Kew is now carrying a twin-flowered scape, as the species is 

 not often seen in this condition. 



Three beautiful Paphiopedilums are sent from the collection of 

 J. Leeman, Esq., Heaton Mersey. P. X Calypso Froebelii is of excellent 

 shape, and has a very richly coloured dorsal sepal. P. X Evelyn Ames 

 has far more of the P. Boxallii character than the preceding, especially 

 in the shape of the flower, and yet, according to the records, it is a hybrid 



villose. The third is supposed to have been derived from P. X Leeanum 

 giganteum X P. X Bruno, and much resembles the former in general 

 character, but the dorsal sepal is closely dotted with light purple nearly all 

 over, and very effective. 



A very pretty hybrid is sent from the collection of Mrs. Hollond, 

 Wonham, Bampton, which we take to be a form of P. X Leeanum. 

 It has the general character of the latter, and the dorsal sepal is very 

 prettily blotched with purple, except for the pure white margin, which is 

 half-an-inch broad. The seed was sown five years ago.

 in reply we beg to say that further details will be given next month.
