314 orchid-grower's manual, 



scape is light brown and hairy ; the flowers have the dorsal sepal oblong acute, 

 very large, white with a dark blackish brown centre bar and prominent green 

 nerves; the petals are oblong-ligulate, acute, ciliate on both margins, and 

 having numerous small black dots in rows near the base, a dark brown median 

 line of a reddish-brown hue along the upper side, and white with a coppery tint 

 on the lower, the chief nerves green on both halves, but nearly vanishing in the 

 upper ; the lip is yellowish beneath, light brown above, with an oohre-coloured 

 border. — Garden hybrid.

C. WINNIANUM, Rclib. /.—This distinct hybrid is the result of a cross 

 between C. villosum and C. Druryi, and was described by the late Professor 

 Keichenbach in the Gardeners' Chronicle, 1886, xxv. p. 362. It was raised in the 

 nursery of Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons. " The leaf at hand has the breadth, the 

 dark mark at the base, and that peculiar dark, nearly glaucous green of 

 C. villosum ; the peduncle has dark red hairs, and the ovary is quite as hairy, 

 yet the hairs are neither as long nor as crowded as those of C. rillosum ; 

 the bract is much shorter than the ovary, and has some dark purplish spots 

 at the base, longer than it usually is in C. Druryi; the upper sepal is oblong- 

 acute, not broad, whitish-yellow, with the centre of dark indian-ptirple ; the 

 lateral sepals form a far smaller body, much shorter than the lip, of the lightest 

 ochre colour ; petals are nearly as in C. villosum, reddish on outer side, with ii 

 long and not too narrow brown line on the mid-line, borrowed from G. Druryi, 

 and with numerous small brown spots at the base ; the lip is that of 0. villosum, 

 and so is the staminode, yet it is broader than in C. villosum, though the shape 

 is the same excepting in breadth." — Garden hybrid.

C. YOUNGIANUM, 'Rolfe. — " A hybrid raised from C. superbiens, fertilised 

 with the pollen of C. Hoebellini, and quite intermediate in character ; the leaves 

 are bright green, reticulated with darker green nerves ; scape tWo-flowered ; 

 dorsal sepal ovate, acute, with numerous purple-brown nerves on a light 

 ground ; petals drooping, nearly flat, over 4 inches long, ciliate, with numerous 

 light maroon spots on a pale ground, passing into yellowish-green near base; lip 

 closely resembling that of G. superbiens ; staminode broadly rounded, apex with 

 three minute teeth, reticulated with green on a pale ground, base and sides pubes- 

 cent. This graceful and pretty hybrid was raised by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., 

 of St. Albans, and flowered for the first time during 1890, when it was exhibited 

 at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on July 8th, and received au 

 award of merit. The more delicate colours, and the numerous spots of the petals 

 in the present hybrid are clearly derived from G. superbiens, whose influence is 

 very apparent, especially in the lip, which is almost unmodified. On the other 

 hand, the more elongated greener leaves, the two-flowered scape, the more 

 elongated petals, and the hairy sides of the staminode are as clearly derived 

 from the pollen parent. This makes at least the sixth hybrid which has been 

 derived from G. philippinense, while from G. superbiens no less than a dozen are 

 known" (R. A. Rolfe, in Sieichenhavhia). — Garden hybrid.
