182 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
of D. atroviolaceum must not be omitted, and one carried a good pod 
crossed with D. Hodgkinsoni. . . 
Odontoglossums were also numerous, and besides the more familiar 
kinds we observed the charming O. nevium, the purple O. Edwardi, O. 
Hunnewellianum, O. x excellens, with both its parents, &c. One fine O. 
crispum carried a spike of 16 flowers, and among seven forms of O. xX 
Andersonianum was one having a spike of 4 branches and 27 flowers. Here 
were also the charming little Epidendrum Endresii, Coelogyne cristata 
Lemoniana, the rare little Disa sagittata, some good Cymbidium Lowianum, 
Zygopetalum crinitum, Masdevallia x Pourbaixii, and the 1 more familiar 
things associated with them at this season. 
Cattleyas and Lzlias, both species and hybrids, are dicated here 
by many choice kinds as well as the commoner ones, and it was interesting 
to see the rare, if not unique, example of Lelia x Finckeniana, figured at 
page 9 of our second volume, of course not now in flower. Various other 
rarities were also pointed out. Lzelio-cattleya x Thorntoni, was in bud, 
and we saw nice examples of Cattleya Schroeder, C. intermedia, and C. 
Lueddemanniana in flower, but it was rather too early for most of this 
group, though it is very strongly represented. It was interesting to see 
some plants, obtained from M. Peeters, planted entirely in leaf-mould, which 
left nothing to be desired in the matter of health and vigour. 
Cypripedes are well represented and many choice crosses were pointed 
out, some on the point of flowering. Some good things were in flower, 
among them three plants of Paphiopedilum x Deedmanianum, and P. x 
Goweri magnificum, besides commoner kinds, while six plants of P. Roths- 
childianum were throwing up spikes, and P. callosum Sandere was in bud. 
Among other things we noted some fine Phaius xX Norman, Lycaste 
brevispatha, Phalznopsis Schilleriana, and the handsome Miltonia x 
Bleuana, this also doing well in leaf mould. 
In conclusion we may add that the cultural department is well looked 
after by Mr. Holbrook, and that the collection contains many striking 
things which we hope to hear more of in the near future.

THE HYBRIDIST. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X MASSANGEANA. 
THIs is a handsome and very interesting hybrid raised by M. A. A. Peeters, 
of St. Gilles, Brussels, from Lelia tenebrosa 2 and Cattleya Schilleriana 
dé, and closely resembles the former in colour, while the shape is most like 
the latter, though somewhat modified in detail. The sepals and petals are 
nearly three inches long, strongly undulate, and of that peculiar shade of
