had from crpgses between Acanthophippium Curtisi and Chysis bracte-cens, 

 Bletia hyacinthina and Calanthe Masuca, Chysis aurea and Zygopetalum 

 Sedeni, Odontoglossum bictonense and Z. maxillare, Z. Mackayi and 

 Lycaste Skinneri. Abundance of seed has also been secured by crossing 

 Z. Mackayi with OJontoglossums and other genera, but the seedlings 

 have invariably proved to be Z. Mackayi. 



The principal hybrids mentioned in the list under Mr. Baden's were 

 raised by the following orchidists : 



Anguloa media, by J. C. Bowring, Esq. ; Calanthe bella, though sent 

 out by Messrs. Veitch & Sons, was not raised in their nursery ; Calanthe

Tne natural hybrids are mostly introduced f jrms of ex >tic Orchids, 

 which are found to be so clearly intermediate between the species named 

 as parents, that they are regarded as the probable result of hybridisation 

 effected by insect agency. Some European forms are, however, included, 

 as in the genus Cceloglossum, Gymnadenia, Nigritella, and Orchis, which 

 have been noted and described by continental botanists.
