PRINCIPAL ORCHID HYBRIDS 



CATTLEYA x DOMINIANA. 



Lindl. in Gard. Chron. 1859, p. 948; Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. ii. p. 90. 



Raised by John Dominy at Exeter between Cattleya labiata and C. 

 intermedia. 



The several seedlings raised from this cross produce flowers alike in 

 form but varying in colour ; some have received varietal names, as alba 

 (Fl. Mag. 1867, t. 367), with pale sepals and petals ; and lutea, with a 

 large yellow disc on the lip. 



CATTLEYA x ELLA. 



Gard. Chron. 1898, vol. xxiv. p. 202 (Report of E.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; Orchid 

 Review, 1898, p. 317; Diet. Ic. des Orchidees, Cattleya hybr. pi. 13. 



A distinct hybrid raised by Seden from Cattleya bicolor and C. Warsce- 

 wiczii. The pale rosy lilac sepals have a white area at the base ; the 

 petals are broader than the sepals and of a darker tint ; the lip resembles 

 that of C. bicolor, having pinkish side-lobes and a front lobe of glowing 

 purple. 



CATTLEYA x ELVINA. 



Gard. Chron. 1896, vol. xx. p. 534 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee). 

 Raised by Seden from Cattleya Trianiae and C. Schilleriana.

 Gard. Chron. 1897, vol. xxii. pp. 428, 429, fig. 127. 



Raised by Seden from Cattleya Mossise and C. Dowiana, the first plant 

 flowering in the collection of Baron Schroder in June 1892. The variety 

 Leonata differs from the original in having the sepals and petals of a bright 

 rose colour instead of white. 



CATTLEYA x ENID. 



Gard. Chron. 1898, vol. xxiv. p. 92 ; Diet. Ic. des Orchidees, Cattleya hybr. pi. 23.

 The sepals and petals are light rose-purple with a finely crisped lip of 

 deep crimson-purple with a rich yellow throat.

 Review, 1895, vol. iii. p. 259. 



Raised from Cattleya Mossiae and C. Walkeriana. The flowers have the 

 open shape of the last-named, but are larger, bright rose in colour, with a 

 velvety crimson lip.
