﻿3 28 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [November, 1904. 



Some good forms of Dendrobium Phal&enopsis were in flower, and 

 their graceful arching sprays produced a fine effect. D. Wardianum is 

 ripening off some strong growths. Various Bulbophyllums were hanging 

 from the roof, among them being a large specimen of B. Ericssoni, and a 

 well-flowered plant of B. Careyanum roseum. There are also numerous 

 Megacliniums and Cirrhopetalums, a plant of the rare C. Rothschildianum 

 looking the picture of health. The rare Angrsecum Rothschildianum was 

 still in flower. The collection contains numerous rarities, among those 

 pointed out being the remarkable Angrsecum infundibulare, which recently 

 flowered, a plant of Trevoria chloris, one of the very few known in Europe, 

 Vanda X Miss Joaquim, and V. teres alba. These terete-leaved Vandas 

 seem to thrive here ; also numerous Catasetums were exceptionally good, 

 the fine C. Bungerothii being everything that could be desired. Calanthes 

 are not much grown, the exception being C. Regnieri. 



There is a splendid collection of Lselio-cattleyas, and good batches of 

 C. Warscewiczii and C. Dowiana aurea are grown, some of the latter being 

 in flower. A good batch of C. Lawrenceana was also noticed, the plants 

 being finishing up some strong growths. In another house Lselia anceps 

 and its varieties were doing well, and throwing up a large number of 



The collection of Masdevallias is a very fine one, and remarkably 

 complete ; in fact, it forms one of the features of the place, and is a special 

 favourite with the Hon. Walter Rothschild. Many were in flower, 

 among those noted being M. macrura, the remarkable M. muscosa, 

 M. Reichenbachiana, M. nidifica, M. ventricularia, a well-flowered 

 plant of M. Wendlandiana, with many others of botanical interest ; 

 also some showy hybrids, including M. X Rushtoni (igneu X 

 racemosa), M. X Doris (triangularis X racemosa), M. Booking Hybrid, 

 &c. We noticed also some good plants of M. Chimsera,the rare M. 

 Burbidgeana, M. venosa, M. bella, the remarkable M. trinema (Lowii), M. 

 cucullata, the handsome M. rosea, &c, some of them being in flower. The 

 same house contains representatives of the genus Stelis, Cryptophoranthus 

 — C. Dayanus being flowering very freely — Restrepia and Pleurothallis, the 

 latter including such fine species as P. Roezlii and P. scapha, while the 

 pretty little Restrepia aspasicensia was in bloom. Some Odontoglossums 

 were doing well, and included O. constrictum and a few O. crispum in 



These are only a few of the interesting features of this fine collection, 

 the condition of which reflects great credit on the head gardener, Mr. Dye, 

 and his Orchid grower, Mr. Warrior. It would repay a visit at any season 

 of the year.
