 (Calanthe Rollisoni is one of Mr Mylam's 

 seedlings, and closely resembles 

 the purple-flowered C. Domini, the 

 parents in both cases being C. masu- 

 ca and C. neratrifolia. C. Domini, 

 however, was raised from seed of C. 

 neratrifolia (C. furcata), and C. Rol- 

 lisoni from that of C. masu-ca.)

 Campanula Haylodgensis, 227. 



(This hybrid was raised by Mr Anderson- 

 Henry, and was obtained from C. 

 pusilla-alba and C. isophylla-alba. 

 It is intermediate in habit and form 

 of flower, but the colour is blue, 

 both its parents being white- 

 flowered. It was grown and flowered 

 at Kew in 1876.)

Cattleya Mitchelli, see p. 422. 

 (This plant is a mule, raised by the fer- 

 tilisation of Cattleya quadricolor, 

 Lindl. (Eldorado), as male, on 

 Cattleya guttata Leopoldii as seed- 

 bearing parent. The seeds were 

 sown by Mr Mitchell, gardener to 

 Dr Ainsworth of Manchester, in 

 August 1863. It is very interesting 

 to see the work of parentage. The 

 habit appears more that of C. quad- 

 ricolor; the colours, too, are of 

 this plant, or nearly so : but the 

 shape of the lip, the compact texture 

 of the flower, and the not very clear 

 tint of the sepals and petals, are 

 decidedly due to the old C. guttata. 

 The plant first flowered in Novem- 

 ber 1876. See 'Card. Chron.,' Dec. 

 23, 1876.)
