﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW 



A fine form of Laelia autumnalis is sent from the collection of Mrs. 

 Hollond, Wonham, Hampton, by Mr. Stacey, together with the \vrv richly 

 coloured L. Gouldiana, and a yellow form of Paphiopedilum insigne, 

 approaching the variety Sanderianum, but having a narrower dorsalsepal. 



Three good forms of Odontoglossum crispum are sent from the collection 

 of J. Bradshaw, Esq., The Grange, Southgate. Two of them are good 

 round forms, having white petals and a few small blotches on the sepals 

 and lip, while the third has particularly broad rounded segments, prettily 



are from small plants, and should develop into fine things. 



Some interesting flowers are sent from the collection of R. le Doux, 

 Esq., Marlfield, West Derby, Liverpool, by Mr. Davenport. Odontoglossum 

 ciispum marlfieldense is a remarkable variety which received an Award of 

 Merit from the Manchester Orchid Society on December iSth last. It may 

 be described as a white unspotted form, tinged with rose on the sepals, but 

 the base of each petal is yellow, with several light brown radiating lines, just 

 like those on the side lobes of the lip, but rather longer and paler in colour. 

 Thus it is a peloriate variety like O. c. Lady Jane and O. c. Oakfield 

 Sunrise, and the peculiarity is likely to be permanent. The other two are 

 seedling Paphiopedilums whose parentage has unfortunately been lost. 

 One, however, is evidently derived from P. Chamberlainianum and P. 

 villosum, and is thus a form of P. Madiotianum. The inflorescence bears 

 several flowers. The other is a hybrid from P. Spicerianum and some other 

 with tessellated leaves, the mottling being compared with that seen in P. X 

 Harrisianum. It may indeed be partly derived from the latter, and thus a 

 form of P. X Savageanum. The flower is of good size, and the dorsal sepal 

 white, suffused and lined with green in the lower half, the lines becoming 

 purple-brown at the base, where also is a slight purple suffusion from 

 margin to margin ; while a broad purple band extends along the centre from 

 base to apex. The scape is two-flowered. 



Laelia anceps Leemanni is a large and very richly coloured variety from 

 the collection of J. Leemann, Esq., West Bank House, Heaton Mersey. 

 The lip may be described as almost saturated with rich purple, even on the 

 disc, so that the usual purple veining is largely obliterated. It is very 

 beautiful. Mr. Edge also encloses a two-flowered scape of the chaste and 

 beautiful Laelia autumnalis alba, the flower being white throughout except 

 the keels of the lip, which are light yellow. 



Paphiopedilum X Hera Cambridge Lodge var. is a very beautiful 

 variety sent from the collection of R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, 

 Camberwell, by Mr. Smith. The dorsal sepal is white, becoming light 

 green in the basal fourth, and regularly marked, except at the margin, vvith
