118 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Another most important item is re-potting, and my previous remarks 
under this heading should be scrupulously adhered to. Never re-pot except 
when. necessary, and only at the proper time, which is just as the new 
growth is pushing forth, and about an inch in length. There is no better 
compost than fibrous peat and sphagnum moss in equal parts. The pot 
should be drained one-fourth its depth only, which leaves room for a greatel 
depth of compost, and for the roots. Pot rather lightly than otherwise, and 
avoid crushing the roots as much as possible, but always take great care to 
leave the plant firm, and quite unable to sway about, even if small sticks 
have to be used, for a plant which is loose and unsteady after being repotted 
never takes proper root again. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
EPILELIA X HEATONENSIS. 
Tuis is a curious little hybrid, raised in the establishment of Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, between Lelia cinnabarina @ and 
Epidendrum Wallisii ¢. It is most like the latter in habit, having an 
~ erect, leafy stem, and, at present, a single terminal flower, which also is 
Epidendrum-like in character. The sepals and petals are linear-oblong, an 
inch long, and deep buff yellow, with a few red-brown spots on the latter. 
The lip is elliptical-oblong in shape, nearly an inch long, crisped in front, 
and the ground colour light yellow, much spotted and partially suffused 
with red purple on the lower half. Thus the characters of the Epiden- 
drum parent preponderate very largely, except in colour, in which the 
influence of the seed parent is seen. Unfortunately, it has a most delicate 
constitution, and Mr. Charlesworth states that some of the plants have 
died outright, so that its future behaviour will be watched with interest. 
; PAPHIOPEDILUM X JUTURNA. 
Under this name we have received from the collection of Reginald 
Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool (gr. Mr. Poyntz), a hybrid raised 
from Paphiopedilum Xx Orpheus var. Youngianum ¢ and P. Boxallii 
atratum @, which may be described as fairly intermediate between the 
parents, though scarcely an improvement on either. The dorsal sepal is 
rather reflexed at the sides, and, like several of its allies, develops a curious 
twist which does not improve its appearance. It is strong and vigorous, 
but rather undecided in colour, though other seedlings may show an 
improvement in this respect. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X IPHISs. 
This also was raised in the same collection as the preceding, the parents 
being P. tonsum @ and P. Argus 3, which, fortunately, do not neutralize 
each other, and the result is a very distinct and pretty little hybrid. It
