MARCH, 1923.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 89 
PHAL/ENOPSIS HARRIETTE. 
HIS hybrid between P. amabilis and P. violacea was raised by Seden for 
Messrs. Veitch. It is botanically interesting, for the parents belong 
‘to two distinct sections of the genus. It first flowered in 1887, and received 
a First-class Certificate, R.H.S., on July 26th. Only one plant was raised, 
and this passed into the collection of the Hon. Erastus Corning, of Albany, 
U.S.A., the specific name being that of his daughter. At the sale of the 
Corning collection it was acquired by Mrs. G. B. Wilson, and on the 
‘disposal of her collection it was purchased, along with many other Orchids, 
PHALENOPSIS HARRIETT. 
for the garden of Louis Burk, Esq., at Philadelphia. The last mentioned 
collection, which is considered to be one of the most representative in the 
United States, has for the past two years been under the care of Mr. H. E. 
Moase. In a letter recently received from him we learn that this rare 
Phalznopsis, though small, is progressing, and is now forming the first 
flower spike since its inclusion in Mr. Burk’s collection. Our illustration 
as from Veitch’s ‘“‘ Manual of Orchidacéous Plants,” in which the sepals 
and petals are described as cream colour, much spotted and stained with 
ose-purple on the basal half; the labellum bright rose-purple, as in ; 
P. violacea.
