304 THE ORCHID. REVIEW. |OcToBER, 1922. 
character is inherited in the offspring. One of the best-of the L. pumila 
hybrids is Lc. Momus, represented here by a grand variety with broad flatly 
formed petals, and of free flowering constitution. 
During recent years considerable interest has been taken in the produc-: 
tion of yellow flowers, and among the finest results in this section is 
Lzliocattleya Appam (C. aurea X Le. Scylla), represented in Mr. Bolton’s 
collection by a very beautiful variety in which the rich golden yellow sepals 
and petals are tinged with a bright reddish hue derived from Lelia 
cinnabarina; the dark crimson labellum being an additional point of 
elegance. Another remarkable and even finer result exists in Le. 
Carmencita, Claygate Lodge variety (C. aurea X Lc. luminosa). In -this 
the sepals and petals are of a golden-citron yellow colour, and the prettily 
formed labellum ruby-crimson. It was unanimously granted an Award of 
Merit when exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society on September 5th. 
About a dozen plants of Sophronitis grandiflora make a pleasing. change 
of colour, and although much appreciated on this account, the more 
important part which this little plant has played is seen in the various 
hybrids, such as Sophrocattleya Thwaitesii (S. grandiflora x C. Mendelii), 
which is cultivated in ashallow pan, and in Sc. His Majesty (C. Trianez ... 
Slc. Marathon). As evidence of the vigorous condition ‘to be seen in these 
plants, mention may be made of Slc. Niobe, which after flowering in 
September last year started into growth again and produced additional 
flowers at the end of March, and not content with this, it formed yet 
another bulb during the present autumn, and would have carried flowers 
had the buds not been picked out to preserve its stamina, although the 
appearance of the plant was in every way satisfactory. A very similar 
example occurred this year in a plant of Sl. Felicia. Another very free 
flowering plant in this collection is Renanthera Imschootiana, with many 
blooms of reddish colour, while Vanda Kimballiana-and Lelia Gouldiana 
appear to be equally satisfied with the atmospheric conditions. 
Brassavola Digbyana has yielded a handsome race of hybrids, and 
although the. chief attraction lies in the large size of the prettily fringed 
labellum, the colour is generally below the average. A few exceptions have 
from time to time appeared, and jit is these that are so much prized by 
amateurs. Among them is Brassocattlelia Jupiter var. John Cowan, with 
flowers over ten inches across, and Blc. Joiceyi majestica, a remarkable 
hybrid between Ble. Cooksonii x Le. Thyone. Thereis a very fine variety 
of Brassocattleya Queen Elizabeth growing strongly, and also of Be- 
Cliftonii magnifica. Before leaving this house we notice an excellent 
variety of Cattleya Warscewiczii, which fortunately belongs to the free- 
flowering type. 
The Odontoglossum house is also span-roofed, and, like the Cattleya
