ID3DXMesh is an interface for mesh objects. I believe this is done as a way to provide a common interface to the different types of mesh that you might wish to use in DirectX.

LPD3DXMESH is simply a pointer to an object that implements ID3DXMesh.

People on forums get this a lot, but if you're learning DirectX, I strongly recommend you get familiar with MSDN. For example, the question you've just raised is answered here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee421310(VS.85).aspx
