HREE interesting and pretty hybrids are sent from the collection of 
J. Joicey, Esq., The Hill, Witley, Surrey, by Mr. J. Mackay. Odonto- 
glossum crispum Leonora xX Odontioda Charlesworthii is a form of 
Odontioda Madeline, and both in shape and in its dark crimson colour it 
most resembles the latter parent. Odontoglossum tigrinum x O. Rolfez 
is a form of O. Corinna, and has a yellow ground colour, with many brown - 
spots on the sepals and petals, and some smaller ones on the lip. An 
analysis of the parentage shows that four species are represented in it, 
namely, O. Harryanum (which comes in through both parents), Pescatorei,. 
crispum, and Hunnewellianum, so that it should develop into a good 
thing. The other appears to be new, and may be described as follows :— 
ODONTIODA WITLEYENSIS (Odm. tigrinum xX C. Neetzliana).—A 
brilliant little hybrid, having scarlet flowers with a few white markings, 
and the lip light yellow in front. As Odm. tigrinum was derived from O- 
Facinator X Harryanum, the present hybrid may be said to come in 
between Odontioda Charlesworthii, Seuenacca, and Bradshawiz. It 
should develop into a good thing when the plant becomes strong. 
A photopraph of the handsome Brassocattleya Apollo (Bc. Veitchii xX 
C. Mendelii), has been sent from the collection of Mrs. Bruce and Miss 
Wrigley, Bridge Hall, Bury. The cross was made by the late Mr. O. O. 
Wrigley, but the seedling was raised by Mr. H. Thorpe, Middleton, who 
received a First-class Certificate for it from the Manchester Orchid Society- 
The. flower from which the photograph was taken measured nearly seven 
inches across the petals, and is excellent in every respect.

[Orchids are named and questions answered here as far as possible, Correspondents are’ 
requested to give the native country or parentage of plants sent. An ADvRESSED postcard must be 
sent sf a reply by post is desired (abroad, reply postcards should be used J. Subjects of special 
interest will be dealt with in the body of the work], 
_ J-M.—The reversion to colour may be due to one of the parents not being a pure 
albino. It is not uncommon in — cases, and also both albino and coloured forms have’ 
Masdevallia C imzera.—Remove the plant, and any others of the same section, to the 
Intermediate house for the winter. _ They will not thrive in the cool temperature of the 
eginner —-The loss of roots is robably due to the exhausted condition of the 
compost. Repotting was the correct treatment, and the plant will probably recover. Keep 
the new compost only slightly moist until new roots begin to push.
