2 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JANUARY, 1914. 
Cypripedium twelve, and Odontioda eleven. Then come Oncidioda and 
Odontonia, with four and three respectively, and a list of seventeen genera 
with one or two each. Here again the hybrids vastly outnumber the 
species, the proportions being as great as 88 to 17, a fact of. vast 
significance. 
HYBRIDs. 
The new hybrids of the year include so many interesting and striking 
things that the mention of a few of the more distinct must suffice for the 
present. Leliocattleya Freak is a remarkable hybrid from Cattleya citrina 
and Lelia purpurata. Brassocattleya The Baroness is a charming blush 
white, and Brassocatlelia an equally beautiful yellow novelty. Odontonia - 
has received such fine additions as O. brugensis, McNabiana, Cybele, 
Farnesiana, Longowoyi, and Cholletii, the latter figured at p. 177 of our 
last volume, where figures of the handsome Odontoglossum Elfrida, Miltonia 
Sander and M. Charlesworthii may also be found, while Oncidioda Bella, 
Miltonioda Cooperi, and several promising Odontiodas are noteworthy 
additions. 
SPECIES. 
Apart from hybrids the novelties of the year were not numerous, but 
include the brilliant Habenaria Rcebelenii, a near ally of H. militaris, 
Maxillaria Fletcheri, a fine Peruvian species, Cycnoches Cooperi and C. 
Forgetii, two interesting Peruvian novelties, Oncidium bidentatum, from 
Ecuador, and several other interesting botanical species which have 
flowered in various collections. 
Losses DuRING THE YEAR 
include the following, all well-known in connection with Orchidology : 
Gustave H. Miiller-Abeken, William Holmes, William Bull, Adolphus H. 
Kent, John Snow Moss, Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace, and Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, the Obituary notices of the two latter appearing in our present 
issue. We also regret to hear of the death of Mr. Pandeli Ralli on 
December 28th. 
THE CominGc YEAR 
opens with plenty of promise, and we may confidently anticipate a series of 
successful meetings and exhibitions, for which the materials were never 
more plentiful, while the coming registration of hybrids by the Royal 
Horticultural Society, of which particulars were given in our last issue, will 
enable the ever-increasing number of these plants to be dealt with on a 
more satisfactory basis than was formerly possible. Another event awaited 
with great interest is the opening of the Reichenbachian Herbarium, which 
has been sealed tothe world fora period of twenty-five years by the eccentric — 
Professor. We will not anticipate further, but will conclude by wishing our 
readers A HAPPY NEW YEAR, and increased success with their collections.
