﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW. [November, 1904. 



clarense (0. R., 1904, p. 179). and Mr. Walker saws that he saw this plant 

 when exhibited at the last Temple Show, and it does not agree with his 

 plant. The Garden, it may be added, confirms the parentage originally 

 given, though omitting the name. It is one of those difficulties which are, 

 unfortunately, too common among hybrid records, but the point may be 

 cleared up hereafter. Whatever the correct name may be it is certainly a 

 charming little plant, and a strong plant should be very effective. 



The hybrids of P. Chamberlainianum are becoming rather numerous, 

 now numbering upwards of twenty, and it is curious to notice how much 

 they resemble this parent in habit, while the floral characters of this 

 species are also well represented in the majority of them. The com- 

 binations with species of the P. concolor group have been felicitous, for 

 the hybrids with P. niveum and P. bellatulum are also elegant little 

 plants". 



ORCHIDS AT DUSSELDOKF. 



The Gardeners-' Chronicle reports that the last Orchid Exhibition held at 

 Diisseldorf from October 20th to 23rd, in the connection with the Dusseldorf

 really grand. 



Herr Otto Beyrodt, Berlin, Director of the Orchid Exhibitions, 

 decorated an immense space with more than 500 plants, among which was 

 a beautiful lot of fifty Cattleya Dowiana aurea in flower, also C. labiata, 

 Oncidium varicosum Rogersii, Dendrobium Phalasnopsis, Cypripediums, 

 and Odontoglossum crispum. The jury awarded the highest prize of 

 honour to this exhibit. 



M. Peeters, Brussels was awarded a special prize of 600 marks for a 

 magnificent group of seventy-five Cattleya and Laslia hybrids,

 (C. X labiata X Hardyana), C. X Sir F. Wigan (C. Dowiana aurea X 

 granulosa Schofieldiana, Ladio-cattleya X Imperator (C. Dowiana aurea X 

 L.-c. X elegans Turneri), L.-c. X luminosa (L. tenebrosa X C. Dowiana

 M. Peeters also received a special prize for a magnificent pure white 

 Cattleya labiata alba. 



M. Ch. Maron, Brunoy, France, also received a special prize of 600

 noteworthy being good Cattleya X Fabia Vigeriana (Dowiana aurea X
