206 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JULY, 1923. 
hand, the measurement was an inch or so more. This wonderful hybrid, 
ranking amongst the largest in its section that have as yet been produced, 
is of a pleasing light blush-rose colour in the sepals and petals, and rich 
purple on the front area of the immense roundly formed labellum, this 
latter segment being embellished by a fringed margin of lighter tint. 
Golden lines and delicate veining extend from this purple area along the 
throat to the base of the column. 
An analysis of the parentage shows that Blc. Jupiter is the result of 
-crossing Ble. Veitchii with C. armainvillierensis, the former parent being 
Bc. Digbyano-Mossie x L. purpurata and the latter C. Mendelii x C. 
Warscewiczii (gigas). Of the five species thus combined, Brassavola 
Digbyana has created the roundly formed and fringed labellum, Cattleya 
Mossiz the widely extended and somewhat drooping petals, C. Mendelii is 
seen in the decisive manner in which the colour of the labellum is confined 
to the lower half of this organ, C. Warscewiczii also adds much to the 
general wide dimensions, as well as imparting a light-yellowish area on 
-each side of the throat just above the purple coloured portion, while Lelia 
purpurata can be seen in the general habit of the plant, and in the narrow 
reflexed upper sepal, a feature that occurs in other of its hybrids, such as 
Le. Aphrodite and Lc. Fascinator. 
Although it has frequently been said that the limits regarding size have 
already been reached, this wonderful result proves that finality in this 
respect is still unknown. Mr. Bolton may justly be proud of having in his 
collection a hybrid so well deserving of the many praiseworthy remarks 
passed on it. 
GRAND YORKSHIRE FLOWER SHOW. 
HIS important event was held at York, June 13, 14 and 15, when 
Orchids were again an attractive feature. Messrs. Cypher & Sons 
were awarded the First Prize for a table of Orchids, their best plants being 
Leliocattleya Wiganiana, Lc. Canhamiana Rosslyn var., and Ble. Veitchii, 
which was large and of fine colour. Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher received a 
Large Gold Medal for an excellent exhibit containing Miltonioda Cooperi, 
with pretty rose-carmine flowers, Miltonia Venus, Odontoglossum Hodgsonil, 
as well as Lc. Mauretania and a fine series of hybrids. 
Messrs. A. J. Keeling & Sons obtained several prizes in the various 
-classes, their most interesting plants being the distinct Cypripedium St- 
Swithin, a very fine variety of Miltonia Bleuana, Lc. Teucra magnifica, Be. 
Pallas and Bc. King Emperor.
