﻿37 2 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [December, 1904. 



rosy blush., with the front of the lip paler, or what has been described as- 

 silvery white, with the usual yellow disc. Mr. Wellesley remarks that the 

 plant' came from an importation by Messrs. Stanley, Ashton and Co., and 

 has produced nine flowers on two spikes. 



Several interesting flowers are sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, 

 Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. H. Haddon, Mr. Neale's gardener. They include 

 flowers of the dark purple Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Statteriana, and 

 Miltonia spectabilis Moreliana, two of the most effective of autumn-flowering 

 Orchids, together with the graceful Platyclinis Polystachya laxiflora, 

 Camaridium ochroleucum, Liparis longipes, and the curious little 

 Pleurothallis tridentata. 



Flowers of a handsome hybrid derived from Ltelia pumila praestans X 

 L. anceps Schrcederiana are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. 

 J. Chamberlain, M.P., by Mr. Mackay. It must be considered as a form of 

 Lcelia X amcena, which was raised in the collection of C. L. N. Ingram, 

 Esq., and flowered for the first time in 1894. The flowers sent are large 

 and handsome, having an expanse of six inches from tip to tip of 

 the petals. 



Flowers of several very beautiful hybrids are sent from the collection 

 of Sir James Miller, Bart., Manderston, Duns, N.B., by Mr. Hamilton. 

 Cattleya X Mantinii is represented by a beautiful inflorescence, and C 

 X Mrs. J. W. Whiteley is a still finer thing, in which C. Dowiana is 

 replaced by C. X Hardyana, both being too well known to require 

 description. Another handsome hybrid of Cattleya Bowringiana must 

 be considered as a form of Lseliocattleya X Bovvringiano-Clive, being 

 derived from the same parentage. It is much like the Cattleya parent in 

 general character, and the colour is very deep rose purple, with the disc 

 of the lip blackish purple, without any yellow. A handsome inflorescence 

 of Laeliocattleya X Clonia is also enclosed. 



Several handsome Paphiopedilums are sent from the collection of 

 J. H. Grogan, Esq., Slaney Park, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow (gr. Mr. H. 

 Cooper). P. insigne Sanderae is a splendidly developed flower of this 

 beautiful variety. P. X Sir Redvers Buller is a very fine flower, having 

 the dorsal sepal and base of the petals prettily spotted. Mr. Grogan 

 remarks that it has been out some weeks. The others are a very good 

 flower of P. Charlesworthii and a fine P. X Leeanum, having very minute 

 dusky dots on the green area at the base of the dorsal sepal. All are 

 excellent examples of good culture. 



Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of J. Leemann, 

 Esq., West Bank House, Heaton Mersey, by Mr. Edge. Lselio-cattleya X 

 luminosa and its variety Amy Leemann are two fine hybrids between 

 Laelia tenebrosa and Cattleya Dowiana aurea. The latter variety is a very
