SANDERS’ List oF OrcHID Hysrips.—We have received a copy of the 
Addenda for 1915, 1916 of Messrs. Sanders’ List of Orchid Hybrids, 
arranged uniformly with the earlier work, and bringing the list practically 
up to date. It occupies 36 pages, nearly half being devoted to the 
additions, and the rest to their arrangement under their parents. 
CYMBIDIUM INSIGNIGRINUM.—An interesting hybrid from C. insigne and 
C. tigrinum, raised in the collection of G. Hamilton-Smith, Esq., North- 
side, Leigh Woods, Bristol, of which the first flower is sent. The shape 
most favours C. tigrinum, and the colour of the sepals and petals is light 
greenish yellow, with a tinge of pink, and a few spots below, while the lip 
is heavily spotted with brownish crimson. 
A curious Cypripedium flower is sent from the collection of F. J- 
Handbury, Esq., Brockhurst, East Grinstead. It is a seedling from 
C. Actzeus X Boxallii. There are two lateral staminodes, and the petals 
are represented by two half lips, while the normal lip is missing.
