EVERAL beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of H. Goodson, 
Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr.G. E. Day. The gem of the series is 
Cattleya Hardyana var. Herbert Goodson, a flower of excellent shape, and 
having pure white sepals and petals, with a broad lip of intense purple- 
crimson, beautifully veined with golden yellow on the disc, and with a pair 
of very large yellow blotches on either side of the throat, which pass into 
pure white at the margin, giving the flower a very striking appearance. 
Cattleya Alicia (labiata X Iris) has broad, rose-purple sepals and petals, 
and an intense crimson lip, beautifully undulate in front, and with a pair of 
small, rounded side lobes, which enfold the pure white column. Leaelio- 
cattleya Lambeauiz (L. pumila prestans x C. Hardyana) is also very fine, 
and has broad, rose-purple sepals and petals, with the front of the broad, 
very undulate lip intense purple-crimson. Lc. bletchleyensis var. Herbertii 
is a good, richly-coloured form, fairly typical in shape. Lastly, there are 
two charming hybrids of Sophronitis grandiflora, Sophrocattleya Chamber- 
lainiana and Sophrolaelia heatonensis, whose characters are well-known, 
and of which the second parents are Cattleya Harrisoniana and Lelia 
purpurata, respectively. They form a very interesting little group. 
A handsome hybrid Cattleya has been sent by Sir Frederick W. Moore, 
Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. It was purchased at Messrs. 
Armstrong & Brown’s Sale of seedlings in April, 1916, and has now 
flowered. It appears to be a form of C. Acis (Maronii X Dowiana aurea), 
and most resembles the latter species in general character, but is of smaller 
size. All the segments are broad, the sepals and petals deep golden yellow, 
and the lip crimson with some yellow veining. Other good forms have 
appeared out of this batch of seedlings. 
An attractive Laliocattleya is sent from the collection of E. F. Clark; 
Esq., Evershot, Dorset, which Mr. Clark suggests may be from C. Trianw 
x L. pumila, with the possible alternative of C. Gaskelliana X L. Iona, both 
crosses having been made. We think it must be the former cross, aS 
the very broad segments and the purple lip with deep yellow throat most 
recall C. Trianz, while other details, including the flowering on the young 
growth without a sheath, are suggestive of L. pumila. This would make it 
a form of Leliocattleya Tydea, originally raised by Messrs. James Veitch 
& Sons, flowering in 1894.
