yellow, with a green Yeining in the centre, and the lip green, tinged and netted 

 with reddish-brown. It is very pretty, and was raised by Messrs. Heath & Son, 

 of Cheltenham, who request it to bear the name of S. W; Swinburne, Esq., of 

 Corndean Hall, Gloucestershire, a great fancier ot' Oypripedkmis " (Oafdeners' 

 Chronicle, Srd ser., 1892, xi., p. 137). — Gardenhljhrid. 



C. SYLVIA, O'Brien. — "This cross betweeilC CurtisiiwaA. 0. Lawrenceanwm 

 has been flowered by the raiser, Charles Winn, Esq., The Uplands, Selly Hill, 

 Birmingham. The flower is just intermediate between those of the parents 

 named, and doubtless when it gets strong it will prove a very distinct hybrid. 

 The downward-curved, thickly-spotted petals, and the closely-lined dorsal sepal, 

 are very characteristic. The foliage is much like that of some of the forms of 

 C.Lawrenceanum. The reverse cross is known as C. Gowerianum" (J. O'Brien, 

 in Gardeners' Chronicle, Srd ser., 1893, xiii., p. 682). — Garden hybrid. 



C TAUTZIANUM, Rclib. f.—T^As fine hybrid was raised by Mr. Seden, 

 and is dedicated to F. G. Tautz, Esq., of Ealing. " It is stated to have 

 originated from C. nivewm and C. harhatum and is said to have the . dwarf 

 habit and the comparatively narrow leaves of C niveum. Those leaves of 

 the genuine type I have never seen. ' Leaves 4 to 6 inches long by H inch 

 in breadth, of great substance, dark > olive-green, showing a very faint 

 mottling. The young growths come first very pale in colour, the leaves being 

 flushfed and margined with white, which disappears as the leaves get mature 

 and grow darker with age.' These remarks I have obtained from Mr. E. G. 

 Tautz himself. Inflorescence one or two flowered ; peduncle dark brownish 

 India purple ; ovary dark, with short hairs ; the elliptical acute median sepal 

 is white, with very dark purple veins, some of which have veinlets radiating 

 outside, which look remarkably neat. There are two green veins on each side 

 of the midrib. The connate lateral sepals form a broad, wide body, nearly 

 as long as the lip, veined on the same plan ; petals spreading, ligulate, acute, 

 ciliate on the borders, with seven dark purple nerves, the three looking 

 towards the side sepals, green at base, all covered with much darker purple 

 spots ; lip nearly that of C. harhatum, very fine dark purple, full of dark warts 

 on the involved side laciniae, pallid underneath towards the base ; staminode 

 transverse, with one tooth each side, and a very small one on mid " (Reichen- 

 bach, in Reicheni)achia). — Garden hyhrid.

C. TAUTZIANUM LEPIDUM, Rchh. /.—A cross between G. niveum and 

 C. Warneri; leaves tessellated with dark green angular markings on a 

 light green ground; scape one-flowered; dorsal sepal with a white ground, 

 suffused with mauve, streaked with purple nerves, and dotted with purple; 

 inferior sepal similarly coloured, but much smaller ; petals suffused with 

 mauve on a white ground; pouch rosy-pink flushed with mauve. — Garden 

 hyhrid. 



C. " T. B. HAYWOOD," Bolfe. — A cross between C. superhiens and C. Druryi, 

 the latter being the pollen plant. It was raised in the nurseries of Messrs. 

 J. Veitch & Sons. Mr. Rolfe describes it as follows 'v — " The leaves resemble
