THE ORCHID REVIEW. 19 
to which a First-class Certificate was awarded by the Manchester Orchid 
Society at its last meeting, is a heavily spotted form, at present small, but 
one which good culture should do much to develop. O. c. sulphureum is a 
pretty sulphur white of good shape, with a few dark brown spots on the lip 
and minute dots on the basal margin. The colour is said to have been a 
beautiful sulphur yellow a week ago. O. c. morecambense is a very fine 
white, with the markings on the lip much as in the preceding. These two 
each received an Award of Merit at the same meeting. One called O.c. 
guttatum xanthoglossum, which received an Award of Merit at the previous 
meeting, is aform of O. X Denisonz, with white sepals and petals, each 
bearing a few large brown spots, and the lip yellow throughout with a few 
small spots. A smaller form of the same hybrid has the yellow confined 
to the lip’s disc, but the colour and markings very similar. Other forms 
included are O. c. platychilum, a round, white flower, with very broad, flat 
lip, a good, well-spotted O. x Andersonianum, forms of Dendrobium 
Phalznopsis, Cymbidium X Winnianum, and two or three other useful 
winter-blooming things. 
Flowers of Odontoglossum Xx Andersonianum, as exhibited at the 
R.H.S. meeting on November 7th last, are sent from the collection of 
Major-Gen. Gillespie, Brynderwen, Usk. The ground colour is lemon 
yellow, with the sepals and petals spotted with rufous-brown. The spike 
bo e fifteen flowers, and, curiously enough, the two lowermost had each an 
additional petal, and one of them had two lips. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X CRANSTON. 
“ABOUT six years ago Mr. Crawshay, when calling upon the late 
Major-General Berkeley, fertilised a Cattleya Harrisoniana violacea by 
Lelia tenebrosa. From the resulting seed-pod a large quantity of seeds 
germinated, and about fifty of them grew into nice little plants, which are 
now in several collections.” Thus writes Mr. James Godfrey, who had 
charge of the late gentleman’s collection, but is now gardener to 
Dr. Cranston, Broad Street, Ludlow, where one of the seedlings has now 
produced a couple of flowers, one of which has been kindly forwarded. 
It is an interesting and pretty little hybrid, quite intermediate in general 
character. The foliage is said to show much of the Lelia tenebrosa 
character, but the growths sometimes produce two leaves, as in the 
Cattleya parent. The sepals and petals also most resemble this parent in 
size, shape, and colour, but the lip is much less distinctly three lobed, and 
the corrugated keels are much reduced in size, and show only a trace of 
light yellow. The front and side lobes are beautifully crisped, and the
