like the variety Turneri, but the front lobe of the lip is more sessile, and the 
sides of the tube are pure white, tipped with purple. The rest of the 
flower is very richly coloured. 
Flowers of the handsome Cypripedium Xx Sandero-Curtisii are sent from 
the collection of Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, 
and are fairly intermediate between the two parents. Also a hybrid from 
C. Chamberlainianum which may have C. Spicerianum for the other 
parent. 
A very pretty form of Odontoglossum crispum is sent from the collection 
of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, having a few small spots about the 
centre of the sepals, fewer on the petals, and the lip heavily marked with 
purple all round the yellow crest. 
A good flower of the pretty little autumn-flowering Miltonia vexillaria 
var. rubella is also sent from the same collection. It is like a miniature 
edition of the type, but flowers at a different period.

THE HYBRIDIST. 
L&LIO-CATTLEYA X HURSTII. 
A VERY pretty hybrid has just flowered with Mr. C. C. Hurst, F.L.S., 
Burbage, Hinckley, of which we have received a flower. According to the 
record it was raised from Cattleya Skinneri crossed with the pollen of 
Lelia purpurata, and from seed sown in 1894. The flower bears evidence 
of such descent, as it has the general shape of the latter, reduced to rather 
over four inches in diameter, with the sepals and petals of a bright-rose 
purple, and the throat and side lobes of the lip almost blackish purple, 
with the apex and base rather paler. The pollinia are of the usual inter- 
mediate character. The vegetative organs we have not seen. It is of good 
shape, very brilliantly coloured, and should develop into a good thing when 
the plant becomes strong. We have not yet many hybrids from Cattleya 
Skinneri. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X F. W. WIGAN. 
We learn that the above is the correct name of the handsome plant 
described at page 228 of our last issue. The name must have been wrongly 
copied by accident.
