﻿May, 1904.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 133 



We noted here also the fine Paphiopedilum X nitens and P. X aureum 

 Confetti. 



A Cattleya house contained a series of interesting things ; Cattleya 

 Lawrenceana with three racemes, several good C. Schrcedera;, C. Mendelii, 

 •C. intermedia nivea, Laelio-cattleya X Ophir, the handsome L.-c, X 

 Hormani superba, L.-c. X G. S. Ball, Brasso-cattleya X nivalis, B.-c. X 

 Lindleyana, B.-c. X Orpheus, and Brassolceha X Gratrixis. Here we 

 noted a thriving plant of Moorea irrorata, and Bulbophyllum Ericssoni, the 

 two latter being very interesting rarities not in flower. 



Ccelogyne pulchella, as its name indicates, is a beautiful little plant, and 

 was flowering in an adjoining house. It is one of the C. elata group, but 

 has small white flowers with a large dark brown blotch on the lip. With it 

 were some good plants of Maxillaria luteo-alba, M. pra;stans, M. Houttcana, 

 and M. pumila, the latter bearing 18 flowers, Dendrobium speciosum, the 

 pretty little D. X specio-Kingianum, D. infundibulum, the brilliant little 

 D. subclausum bearing many scarlet flowers, Restrepia elegans with eight 

 flowers, Lselia harpophylla, a good Cochlioda sanguinea, and two plants of 

 the handsome Epidendrum X dellense bearing six fine heads of flowers. 



The Phalsenopsis house contained many interesting things, including 

 some good examples of P. amabilis, P. Aphrodite, P. Sanderiana, P. 

 Schilleriana, P. Lueddemanniana, and the rare P. Kunstleri, a dozen 

 plants of the brilliant little Habenaria rhodochila in bud, Polvstachya 

 pubescens and P. cerea, Dendrobium Fitchianum, and various other things 

 which we had not time to note. We were much interested in some good 

 plants of a hybrid between Cattleya citrina and C. Lawrenceana, raised in 

 the collection, which have not yet flowered. 



The Masdevallia house was gay with flowers, including many very 

 interesting rarities. M. X Fourbaixii was a charming little specimen with 

 fourteen flowers. M. X igneo-Estradse was represented by several nice little 

 plants, varying considerably in colour. Other interesting kinds in flower 

 were M. hieroglyph ica, the brilliant M. X Rushtoni, M. Arminii, a good plant 

 •of M. caudata xanthocorys, M. X Asmodia with seven flowers, M. ignea 

 aurantiaca, M. X Veitchiano-Estrad*, some well-flowered M. triangularis, 

 M. Ephippium, M. xanthina, M. X Bocking hybrid, M. X Hincksiana, 

 and some brilliant forms of M. coccinea, M. ignea, and M. Yeitchiana. The 

 plants of the remarkable pendulous M. deorsa were in thriving condition. 



Some interesting species of Pleurothallis were in flower, including P. 

 astrophora, a tiny gem bearing ten racemes, P. stenopetala, P. Grobyi 

 with eighteen racemes, P. grandiflora, and various others. It was rather 

 curious to find Pescatoreas and Bolleas doing well in this cool house, but so it 

 was, and the handsome P. bella was bearing three unopened buds. Several 

 ■other plants were in flower which we did not note.
