TO4 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1917. 
exhibited C. Albatross (Gottianum x grandiflorum), a hybrid retaining 
much of the insigne character (O.R., 1916, p. 52), and a fortnight later 
Messrs. Hassall & Co. staged C. Diana (Pauwelsii X Veitchii), in this case 
both parents being secondary hybrids (O.R., 1916, p. 55). At the earlier 
meeting C. Capella was also exhibited from the collection of G. Hamilton 
Smith, Esq., the parentage being recorded as C. Wiganianum  X insigne 
(O.R., 1916, p- 51), which would make it a form of C. Schlegelii. A year 
later, however, it was exhibited by Messrs. Hassall & Co. with the parentage 
C. Wiganianum X Pauwelsii (O.R., 1917, p. 43)- 
Coming to the present year, we find that several additions have already 
been recorded. C. Corona (Lowianun xX Schlegelii) flowered in the 
collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq. (O.R., 1917, p. 4), and most 
resembles the former parent, with some reddish streaks in the sepals and 
petals, and the zone of colour on the lip more broken up into spots. 
Shortly afterwards the same cross was exhibited by Messrs. Hassall & Co. 
under the name of C. Beatrice (O.R., 1917, p. 43). C. Sybil (eburneum X 
Pauwelsii), flowered both with G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., and with Messrs. 
Hassall & Co., and showed a good deal of variation (O.R., 1917, p. 36). 
Messrs. Hassall & Co. also exhibited C. Moira (Tracyanum x Pauwelsil) 
at the R.H.S. meeting held on January 16th (O.R., 1917, p. 43). C. 
Chaffinch. (Gottiannm, X Doris) was exhibited by Messrs. Sander & Sons 
at the R.H.S. meeting held on January 30th, and has a_blush-coloured 
ground colour, prettily spotted with red on all the segments (O.R., 1917, 
p- 44). Lastly, we have C. insignigrinum, raised in the collection of G. 
Hamilton Smith, Esq., from C. insigne and C. tigrinum, a promising 
hybrid, most favouring the latter, and having a light greenish yellow ground 
colour, tinged with pink, and the lip heavily spotted with brownish crimson 
(O.R., 1917, p. 96). 
ODONTIODA ROSEFIELDIENSIS.—The combination of the orange-scarlet 
Cochlioda Neetzliana with the bright yellow and brown Odontoglossum 
triumphans. has produced a highly decorative hybrid, of which good 
examples are flowering at Kew, one of them carrying three arching spikes 
of its reddish orange flowers, with a yellow crest to the lip, and recalling an 
enlarged edition of the Cochlioda, but with larger flowers of lighter colour. 
The hybrid was originally raised in the collection of De Barri Crawshay, 
Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, flowering six years ago, when it received an 
Award of Merit from the R.H.S. (0.R., IQII, pp. 149, 180). As in the 
case of O. Charlesworthii the brown markings of the Odontoglossum 
parent are lost or suffused through the ground colour, giving flowers 
of comparatively uniform colour. 
Both hyorids are acquisitions of great 
decorative value.
