his superb hybrid was raised in the houses of L’Horticutrure Intsr- 
NATIONALE, and flowered for the first time at the same nursery during 
the past year. 
The notice of the names of the parent species was overlooked by some 
error of a young gardener; by inspection of the flowers, however, it may 
scarcely be doubted that the parents are A. Riickeri and A. uniflora. 
These flowers, very massive, are as large as those of A. Riickeri, but more 
elongated, in the way of A. uniflora; the cylinder-like lip, rather wide-opened at 
- the apex, may be considered as intermediate between those . the two species 
mentioned above. 
The habit of the hybrid is quite distinct. The stout, oblong-pyriform, nearly 
5 inches high pseudobulbs are somewhat compressed, with several ribs; the 
colour is a dark green with silky reflections. The scape is exceptionnally high 
(11 7/, inches, ovary excluded) and erect. 
This hybrid is dedicated to M. ALrrep Mapoux, of Brussels, an errhuanete 
amateur, whose collection, although recently founded, may be mentioned now 
as one of the richest in Belgium. It was exhibited by the same orchidist at a 
meeting of L’OrcHIDEENNE, on June Io th of the present year, and was awarded 
unanimously a First-Class Diploma of Honour. 
Cette superbe plante est un hybride obtenu dans les serres de L’Horricut- 
TURE INTERNATIONALE, et qui a fleuri pour la premiére fois dans cet établissement 
en 1893; toutefois, il n’avait pas été possible de le juger d’une facon définitive 
d’aprés cette premiére floraison, et ce n’est qu’en 1894 qu'il a pu étre classé 
exactement. En effet, par suite d’une inadvertance d’un jardinier, l’étiquette avait 
été égarée depuis longtemps, et les noms des parents de l’hybride n’avaient ainsi 
pu étre conservés.
