135 THE. ORCHID REVIEW. (May, 1914: 
Reise ODONTIODA CLIVE. Bee 
HE annexed figure represents the handsome Odontioda Clive, which 
was exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting held on April 7th last by Mrs. 
Norman Cookson, Oakwood, Wylam (gr. Mr. H. J. Chapman), and received 
an Award of Merit. The parentage, unfortunately, was unrecorded, so that 
we cannot at present say from what particular combination it was derived, 
but one might suggest a comparison with O. Sybil (p. 59). The shape 1s 
excellent, and in some respects recalls Odontioda Bradshawiz Cookson’s 
var., while the broad, square lip suggests some Odontoglossum in which the

influence of O. triumphans is paramount, possibly O. Vuylstekei. It would 
be interesting to know whether Mr. Chapman has made such a cross. Thé 
Sepals and petals are for the most part suffused with dark-red purple, the 
former having a little yellowish white at the apex, and the latter a broad 
margin of similar colour, while the lip has a zone of dark purple right round 
the well-toothed yellow crest, and a very broad pale margin and apex, with 
a number of light streaks all round. The petals and lip are prettily fringed. 
It should develop into a fine thing when the plant becomes stronger- re 
the photograph we are indebted to Mr. H. J. Chapman.
