THE HYBRIDIST. 
CATTLEYA X MAC&NAS. 
A VERY distinct and handsome hybrid has been raised in the collection of 
T. W. Thornton, Esq., Brockhall, Weedon, from Cattleya Warscewiczii 
Sanderiana ? and C. superba 3, and must be considered as a form of the 
above, originally raised by Messrs. Veitch. It bears a great general 
resemblance to the natural hybrid C. x Brymeriana, but the flower is 
considerably larger, as would be expected. It measures 6} inches in 
diameter, and the petals are 13 inches broad; the colour of the perianth- 
segments being bright lilac-purple, and the lip has a very pale throat, with 
the front lobe and apex of the side lobes rich purple. The seeds were 
sown in July, 1892. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X STELLA. 
Raised in the same collection as the preceding, from Lelia grandis 9 
and Cattleya intermedia 3 , the seeds being sown in December, 1892. It 
is fairly intermediate in shape and colour, the sepals and petals being tinged 
with a rosy hue, and the lip less strongly three-lobed than C. intermedia, 
with the front lobe light purple, and much crisped. The flower is at 
Present rather small, but it will probably improve as the plant becomes 
Stronger, 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X ALCIDES. ~ 
Another of Mr. Thornton’s hybrids, raised from Cattleya Dowiana aurea 
? and Lelio-cattleya xX elegans ¢, from seed sown in July, 1892. The 
flower is six inches in diameter, with the sepals and much broader petals. 
lilac-rose, and the nearly entire lip deep crimson-purple, except the basal 
Part, which is paler, and there is a trace of yellow veining in the throat. It 
1S a very handsome thing, and in shape recalls Lelia purpurata, one of 
Its §tandparents rather than its direct parents. 
L#&LIO-CATTLEYA X GALATEA. 
This is a charming and very richly-coloured hybrid raised by 
Char lesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, from Cattleya granulosa Schofield- 
ana ? and Lelia Dayana g. It most resembles the former in shape, but has 
Completely lost the green colour and spots. In fact the sepals and petals 
are rich rose purple, and unspotted, while the front Jobe of the lip and apex 
of fe Side lobes are dark crimson-purple. The side lobes are strongly 
Infolded and overlap at the apex, and the basal part is white tinged with 
light rose, The isthmus of the lid is somewhat mottled with whitish 
yellow, and the keels of L. Dayana seem to be quite lost. The flower is 
slightly smaller than that of C. granulosa. It is a most promising thing.
