248 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS. 
Now, as to those equal to, and in advance of, Nature. I consider 
the subjoined list will hardly be disputable : 
amabile Fletcherianum percultum Thompsonianwm 
ardentissimum Fowlerianum Queen Alexandra Vuylstekee 
Bradshawie Lambeauianum Rolfee Vuylstekei 
Crawshayanum 
crispo-Harryanum  Lawrenceanum Souvenir de Victor waltoniense 
eximium Ossulstoni Hye de Crom 
Smith Wiganianum 
giving twenty-one out of fifty, the nine in italics being all grand 
introductions. This result has been attained in the sixteen years since 
Fic. 60.—Opvonrociossum Fowxertanum. (Gardeners’ Chronicle.) 
Ground colour rosy-violet, spotting of a blackish-purple shade ; lip violet-purple. 
the original garden hybrid bloomed, but the whole of the above twenty- 
one have appeared in the last eight years, crispo-Harryanum being the first 
of them to bloom. 
Analysing these twenty-one, I find the parents used are : —- 
Kegeljani 1 
crispum 7 nobile 3 Edwardii 2 loochristiense 2 
Harryanum 6 triumphans 2 Rossii 2 luteo-purpureum 1 
crispo-Harryanum 4 ardentissimum 2 Andersonianum 1 Vuylstekei 1 
Rolfe 4 cirrhosum 2 Halli 1 Wilckeanum 1 
proving crispum and Harryanuwm to be the best species for founding the 
new races.
