very striking. Tlie lip is very, similar to O. Sanderiamim 

 in shape, which species, or O. blandum, may have been 

 one of the parents. As to the other, the deep yellow sepals 

 and petals suggest O. triumphans or an allied species. It 

 received an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural 

 Society on November 14th last. — Gardeners' Chronicle, De- 

 cember 1 2th, p. 696. 



MoRJioDES puxcTATUM, Rolfe. — A new species of unknown 

 origin which has recently flowered with Monsieur (nistav 



glance. The segments are narrower than in the former, 

 though otherwise similar, M'ith the lip and column wings 

 rather nearer to O. Lindleyanum. The tiowers are yellow, 

 with deep chestnut blotches, and bear a certain resem- 

 blance to those of O. X Coradinei, though more brilliantly

Bral, of Mont St. Amand, Gand, Belgium. The sepals and 

 petals are light yellowish brown, densely spotted with very 

 dark brown, and the lip yellow with numerous small chest-

 with broader segments and other differences. — Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, December 12th, p. 696. 



Odoxtoglgssuji X Godseffianum, Rolfe. — A handsome 

 natural hybrid which appeared with Messrs. F. Sander & 

 Co., of St. Albans. Its parents are evidently O. triumphans 

 and O. Lindleyanum, whose characters are apparent at a 



the Forest Department there. The leaves are deep olive- 

 green, regularly spotted with white, thus making a very, 

 elegant contrast. The flowers are large, the lip white 

 with a long light brown spur, and the other segments of a 

 soft blush-pink. — Garden and Forest, October 14th, pp.
