PHAL^NOPSIS x STUAETIANO-MANNI. 



Gard. Chron. 1898, vol. xxiii. p. 238 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee). 

 Eaised by Seden from the two species expressed by the name. 



SOBEALIA x EOSEO-MACEANTHA. 



Gard. Chron. 1897, vol. xxii. p. 277 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee). 



A hybrid Sobralia, one of the best the genus has produced, which 

 resembles Sobralia macrantha in foliage and habit, and the flowers 

 soft light rose-purple with cream-white margins, are fully 6 in. in 

 diameter. 



SOBEALIA x VEITCHIL 



Gard. Chron. 1894, vol. xvi. p. 103 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee); Orchid 

 Review, 1894, vol. ii. p. 239 ; Jour of Hort. 1894, Aug. 2nd, pp. 98, 99, fig. 5 ; 

 Diet. Ic. des Orchidees, Sobralia, hybr. pi. 1. 



A hybrid from Sobralia macrantha and S. xantholeuca, and one of the 

 most distinct of the few that have been raised between species of this 

 genus. The flowers soft rosy blush, with a rich rose-lilac lip have a 

 conspicuous orange-yellow throat, in size and shape approximating closely 

 to the two parents. 



SOPHEOCATTLEYA BATEMANIANA. 



Syns. Lalia X Batemaniana, Rchb. 



Veitchs' Man. Orch. PI. pt. ii. p. 92, figs. ; Rolfe in Jour. Linn. Soc. vol. xxiv. p. 156 ; 

 Rchb. in Gard. Chron. 1886, vol. xxvi. p. 263. 



The first hybrid to be raised between the genera Cattleya and Sophro- 

 nitis, to the ordinary observer so widely separated, led orchid experts in 

 early years to doubt the correctness of the assigned parentage. Eaised 

 from Sophronitis grandiflora and Cattleya intermedia, the seed was 

 sown in June 1881, and the first flower opened in August 1886, and 

 caused very great interest. 



This remarkable plant is dedicated to Mr. James Bateman, author of 

 Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala. 



SOPHEOCATTLEYA CALYPSO. 



Gard. Chron. 1892, vol. xii. p. 744 (Report of R.H.S. Orchid Committee) ; id. 1895, 

 vol. xx. p. 695, fig. 122; Orchid Review, 1903, vol. i. p. 291. 



A hybrid raised by Seden from Sophronitis grandiflora and Cattleya 

 Loddigesii Harrisonae. 



The flower of Sophrocattleya Calypso, in form and size, partakes much 

 of Cattleya Loddigesii Harrisonae, and is similar to that species in the firm 

 substance of the sepals and petals, rose-purple in colour, with a number 

 of very dark purple lines.
