SOME RESULTS 01-' THE HYBRIDISATION OF ORCHIDS. 151 



C. X Niohe, G. x cardinale, G. Ashhurtonice expansum, Denclrobinm x 

 Ainsworthii, Galanthe x Sedenii and others. In other genera Mr. 

 Cook son has also raised some remarkably fine hybrids including 

 Galanthe x Goolsonii, Gattleya x William Murray, Lwliocattleya x 

 Phcehe, L. x Normanii, Dendrohiiim x Venus, D. x Gassiope, D. x 

 Bryan, D. x Owenianiun , D. x Sybil, Masdevallia x Gourtauldiana, 

 Phaius X GooJcsonii, the last named of exceptional interest from its 

 being the first hybrid Phaius, of which the beautiful Madagascar 

 species, P. tuberculosus, is one parent. The total number of hybrids 

 raised by Mr. Cookson is probably greater than those obtained in 

 any other private collection. 



The genus Masdevallia has received especial attention from Captain 

 Hincks, of Terrace House, Richmond, Yorkshire, who had added to it 

 the following beautiful hybrids, M. x HincTcsiana, M. x Stella, M. x 

 Gassiope, M. x Rushtonii and M. x Veitch'ano-Ustradce. Further 

 additions to the genus have been made by Sir Trevor Lawrence, 

 Mr. D. 0. Drewett, Mr. W. Thompson and Messrs. Sander and Co. 

 Here may be noted three hybrids of great merit obtained by three 

 different operators who appear to have desisted from further efforts. 

 The first of these is Zytjopetalum x Glayii obtained many years ago 

 by Colonel Clay, of Wallasy, near Birkenhead; the second Dendrohiiim 

 X Schneiderianum raised by Holmes, Gardener to Mr. C. Moseley, of 

 Grange Thorpe, Manchester ; and lastly Gyprvpedium x Lathamianum 

 by Mr. Latham, of the Botanic Garden, Birmingham. 



Mr. Winn, of Selly Hill, Birmingham, has added to the list of 

 hybrid orchids Galanthe x Aurora, Gyiahidium x Winnianum, the 

 second hybrid obtained in the genus, Dendrohium x Aspasia, previously 

 raised by Seden from the same parentage, D. x Nestor, Gypripedium x 

 Edith Winn, C. x Sylva and some secondary hybrids in Cypripedium. 

 Captain Vipan, of VYansford, Northampton, has obtained Cypripedium 

 X Vipanii, C. x Sanueriano-superbiens and 0. x Berenice, the last 

 named being the first hybrid known to us between racemose species 

 of EucYPRiPEDiuM (pMlippinense x LoiviiJ that has flowered. In Baron 

 Schroeder's magniBcent collection has been raised Epidendrum x 

 Delliense, Gattleya x Baroness Schroedcr and Delia x vitellina, all new 

 and distinct crosses ; in this collection is Galanthe x Baron Schroeder, 

 the finest hybrid Calanthe yet raised. Sir William Marriott has 

 raised LcpJia Marriottiana from L. fava and Gattleya Skinneri in his
