68 THE ORCHID REVIEW. — [Marcu-Aprit, 1919. 
’ The French language was prohibited, ‘and all the labels of the trees and 
shrubs were taken off because the French name of the plant was mentioned. 
CYpPRIPEDIUM Mepusa.—A flower of this pretty little hybrid, derived 
from C. Godefroyz leucochilum x Euryades New Hall Hey var., is sent 
from the collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., Northside, Leigh Woods, 
Bristol, by Mr. W. E. Walker. It is most like the former in shape, having 
broad sepals and petals, which are cream yellow, regularly blotched with 
dark brown, the blotches being rather large, especially on the dorsal sepal. 
It should develop into a good thing.

ODONTOGLOssuUM GOVERI.—This is a new and very pretty hybrid, raised 
in the collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., Chessington, Streatham Hill, 
from OQ. maculatum crossed with the pollen of O. Chieftain (Rolfee X 
Vuylstekei). The upper part of a spike of five flowers is sent, and it is 
interesting to see the way the characters have been combined. The flowers 
are of good shape, and the sepals and petals light yellow, with a number of 
red-brown spots; the front lobe of the lip i8 orbicular, prettily crisped, and 
pure white, the yellow crest strongly four-lobed, and behind it are four 
bright red-brown lines. The column is most like O. maculatum, and has 
_ narrow, slightly toothed wings. It is dedicated by request to Mr. F. Gover, 
an enthusiastic Orchidist, who has now charge of the collection.
