HISTORY OF ORCHID HYBRIDISATION. XXI. 
GENERIC HyYBRIDs. 
The number of generic hybrids enumerated is 25, of which the following 
23 are bigeneric :— 
Ancectomaria, from Ancectochilus and Hemaria. 
Brassocattleya, » Brassavola and Cattleya. 
Brassoepidendrum, _,, - and Epidendrum. 
Brassolelia, i es jn. | Leeeliax 
Dialelia, » Diacrium and Lelia. 
Dossinimaria, », Dossinia and Haemaria. 
Epicattleya, », Cattleya and Epidendrum. 
Epidiacrium, ,, Diacrium ,, ss 
Epueelia, » Epidendrum and Lelia. 
Epiphronitis, 5 3 » Sophronitis. 
Leliocattleya, » Cattleya and Lelia. 
Leptolzlia, ,, Lelia and Leptotes. 
Macomaria, » Hemaria and Macodes.

Sophrocattleya, 3 mn 5, Sophronitis. 
Sophroleelia, ,, Lelia and Sophronitis. 
Zygobatemannia, , Batemannia and Zygopetalum. 
Zygocalyx, 55. Colax 4 4 
Zygonisia, , Aganisia o . 
Two others have three genera in their composition, these, of course, 
being secondary hybrids. They are :-— 
Brassocatlelia, from Brassavola, Cattleya and Leelia. 
Sophrocatlelia, ,, Cattleya, Lelia and Sophronitis. 
An analysis of the parentage of these trigeneric hybrids may be 
interesting. Brassocatlelia includes ten distinct hybrids, seven of which 
were derived from the intercrossing of Brassavola and Leeliocattleya, one 
from Brassocattleya and Lelia, one from Brassolelia and Cattleya, and 
one from Brassocattleya and Leliocattleya. Of Sophrocatlelia four 
hybrids are known, two of these being derived from the intercrossings 
of Cattleya and Sophrolelia, and two from Leeliocattleya and 
Sophronitis. The arrangement may seem puzzling at first sight, but 
a4 moment’s consideration will show that in each case the same three 
genera are represented, though in slightly different proportions. This 
brings out the curious fact that the same result may be reached by several
