I30 THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



Veitchii of course ; but also the pure white form of 

 Veitchii, which is by no means a matter of course, 



WilUcvm Murray (vest, rubro-oculata x Williamsii). — A 

 hybrid notably robust, which is always a recommendation. 

 White sepals and petals, a crimson patch on the lip, darkest 

 at the throat. 



Florence (bella x Veitchii). — Flowers large, of a deep 

 rose, with purplish rose markings. 



Clive. — The parentage of this hybrid is lost. Petals 

 lively carmine, sepals paler. Throat yellow, lip white at 

 base with carmine disc. 



Victoria Regina (Veitchii x rosea). — The large flowers 

 are all tender rose, saving a touch of sulphurous yellow at 

 base of the lip. 



Phaio-calanthe Arnoldiae is a bi- generic hybrid (C. 

 Regnieri x Phajus grandifolius). — Sepals and petals yellow ; 

 lip rose-pink. 



Here also I may mention some interesting Phajus 

 hybrids : — 



Phoebe (Sanderianus x Humblotii).— Sepals and petals 

 light fawn-colour with a pinkish tone ; lip crimson, veined 

 with yellow. 



Ovoenianus (bicolor Oweniae x Humblotti). — Sepals and 

 petals milk-white, tinged with purplish brown. Lip like 

 crimson velvet, orange at the base. 



Jshworthianus (Mannii x maculatus). — Sepals and petals 

 deep yellow, touched with ochre, lip similarly coloured, 

 marked with heavy radiating lines of chocolate. 



Cooksoni (Wallichii x tuberculosus). — The sepals and 

 petals are those of Wallichii — buff tinged with reddish 

 purple, china-white at back ; the lip is that of tuberculosus 

 — side-lobes yellow, spotted with crimson ; disc white, with 

 purple spots. 



Marthae (Blumei x tuberculosus). — Sepals and petals pale
