106 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1914. 
round the yellow crest of the lip. The seed parent of O. Bradshawie 
Cookson’s var. was a good white O. crispum—this being the only case in 
which Mr. Chapman has successfully used the Cochlioda as the pollen 
p.irent—and we believe that the crispum parent of Odontoglossum spectabile 
was an unblotched form. It is a remarkable novelty, and when the 
seedling becomes stronger it would be interesting to self-fertilise it, to see 
whether the scarlet of the Cochlioda or the yellow and brown of O. 
Harryanum return in any of the seedlings. 
Odontioda Latona was originally raised by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., 
Haywards Heath, and was exhibited at the Holland House Show in 1912, 
when it was recorded as a richly-coloured form with darker blotches (O:Re 
XX. p. 247), but Messrs. Charlesworth informs us that later seedlings from 
the batch have shown a considerable amount of variation, as in other 
batches of secondary hybrid Odontiodas. We also recall the handsome O. 
Latona Fowler’s var., from the collection of J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., 
Glebelands, S. Woodford, which received a First-class Certificate from the 
R.H.S. in December, 1912, this having rosy blush sepals and petals, 
heavily blotched with brownish crimson, and the front of the lip white 
(O.K., Sx1. p. 34): 
VARIATION IN SECONDARY HYBRID ODONTIODAS. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. have sent us a series of Odontiodas from 
five different crosses, to show the remarkable amount of variation among 
the secondary hybrids. Three are from O. Charlesworthii and one each 
from O. Vuylstekez and O. Bohnhofiz. 
O. RoyaL-Gem (QO. Vuylstekee 2? x Odontoglossum armainvillierense) — 
is represented by five very distinct forms: 1, white with large purple-red 
blotches, most recalling a well-blotched O. Pescatorei; 2, yellowish 
white, with broad, rosy margin and large dark red-brown blotches; 3) 4 
rosy lilac self, with a darker blotch and some yellow on the lip; 4, pale 
rose with heavy dark rose blotches, and much yellow on the lip; and 5, 
a very handsome dark rosy carmine self, with the basal half of the lip 
ruby-crimson, and some yellow in front. The resemblance to O. Pescatorel 
in shape is always very marked, coming in through both parents. (For 
two other forms see O.R., xxi. p. 139). 
O. Joan (O. Charlesworthii x Odontoglossum armainvillierense ? ) is 4 
represented by eight distinct forms: 1, pale yellow, with a light rosy 
suffusion and large chocolate brown blotches; 2, light yellow, with light 
cinnamon orange blotches, and the apex of the lip buff yellow ; 3, chocolate 
brown with a few yellow markings; 4, sepals dark salmon red, petals 
blotched with the same on a pink ground, and lip yellow with a round 
central blotch ; 5, salmon red, with the base of the lip crimson, and much
