LYCASTE BALLIZ. 
HE hybrid between Lycaste Skinneri and L. macrophylla is extremely 
floriferous and beautiful, as may be seen from the annexed figure, 
which represents a plant exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., at a 
meeting of the R.H.S. held in January, 1896. The thirteen flowers shown 
are all borne on a single bulb. The hybrid originally bloomed in the 
collection of G. S. Ball, Esq., in January, 1896, when we received a flower, 
Fig. to. LycasTE BALLI#. 
but owing to a doubt about the second parent, it was provisionally referred 
to L. schcenbrunnensis, a liybrid from L. Skinneri and L. Sehilleriana 
(O.R., ii. p. 40). The point was afterwards cleared up. The plant received 
a First-class Certificate from the Manchester Orchid Society in November, 
1898. The sepals are irregularly mottled with carmine on a terra cotta 
ground, and the petals rosy crimson, shading off to white at the tips. 
‘Other hybrids from the same parentage are varieties of L. Balliz.
