156 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (May, 1914 
some maroon on the disc of the lip. A third flower is D. Ennestii 
(chessingtonense X Wiganiz) a deep yellow form with a dark maroon 
disc. 
Several handsome flowers are sent from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, 
Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury (gr. Mr. Rogers). Five handsome forms of 
Lycaste Skinneri show the widest possible variation, the variety hellemense 
being of a brilliant rose-purple. There is also a form of L. Imschootiana 
(Skinneri X cruenta), having yellowish unspotted sepals and petals, and the 
base of the lip dark maroon; also L. Tunstillii, which from the shape and 
very hairy lip we take to be a form of L. Luciani (Skinneri X lasioglossa). 
Cypripedium Jessie (Thompsonianum x villexul) has particularly broad 
segments and lip, and the petals are well spotted with brown on the basal 
half, with a few others on the base of the dorsal sepal, the broad margin 
being white. C. Symmetry (nitens magnificum x Thompsonianum) is also — 
very promising, having a white dorsal sepal with confluent purple veins on 
the lower half, leaving very little green, and the petals and lip are suffused 
and veined with mahogany brown. Lelia Jongheana xX Cowanii will be 4 
form of L. Gwennie (O.R., xii. p. 271), raised from the reverse cross, and 
has deep buff yellow sepals and petals with a tinge of purple, and a deep 
yellow crisped lip with slightly raised keels. The scape is two-flowered at 
present, and the characters of the pollen parent decidedly preponderate. — 
Odontoglossum crispum Golden Queen is a handsome yellow form with 
maroon blotches on the sepals and petals. A twelve-flowered spike of a 
remarkable and beautiful form of Odontoglossum crispum is also enclosed, 
in which the dorsal sepal is exactly like the petals in shape and size and in 
_ having a very crisped margin, while the lateral sepals have crest-like — 
appendages on the adjacent inner angles, and usually a cinnamon blotch 
near the apex, like the blotching on the lip. The lip and column are 
however, normal, and the petals and dorsal sepal are unspotted. 
Flowers of three Lzelia cinnabarina hybrids are sent from the collection 
of W. Evans, Esq., J.P., Knighton Lodge, Leicester, by Mr. T. Cook, who 
states that they were raised in the collection. L. cinnabarina X Jongheana 
is a form of L. Sidneana (O.R., 1907, p. 315), and has buff yellow flowers 
with a tinge of purple. L. cinnabarina x C. amethystoglossa is a form 0 
Leliocattleya Monica (O.R., 1903, p. 58), and has light yellow flowers with 
the front of the deeply three-lobed lip purple. The other is L.-c. Clatié 
(L. cinnabarina X C. Octave Doin), and has deep yellow flowers with the 
front lobe of the lip purple. It is a very promising thing. 
Cymbidium Lowianum nanum, from the collection of F. J. Hanbury: 
Esq., Brockhurst, East Grinstead, is a peculiar dwarf form, producing 
short, three-flowered spikes and correspondingly short leaves. It is said to 
be constant in the dwarfed habit, but the flowers are quite normal.
