CYMBIDIUM x IANSONI. 
WeE are now able to give a figure of the handsome natural hybrid, 
Cymbidium xX I’Ansoni, which was described at page 191 of our last issue. 
The photograph was taken by Mr. G. I’Anson, and shows both the resem-

have the two in flower together. It might well be that from a good batch 
of seedlings some more distinct forms would be obtained, as hybrids from 
the same capsule often show a considerable amount of variation.
