‘go THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1916, 
numerous specimens of O. maculatum. Reichenbach remarked: “ It has 
lemon-coloured sepals and petals, all spotted with brown, anda whitish lip, 
spotted with reddish brown, which has a very light hue of sepia. The callus 
and bracts and shape of the lip prove it to be O. maculatum, not O. 
cordatum, though the sepals and petals are rather long.’’ There is no 
mention of hybridity, but in the Lindenia description it is called a natural 
hybrid between O. maculatum and O. nebulosum, which would make it a 
form of O. vexativum. But the figure shows the unmistakable O. cordatum 
‘shape and acuminate segments, with the crest of O. apterum (the latter an 
earlier name for O. nebulosum), indicating quite clearly that it is a natural 
hybrid between these two species. Further details may be found in the 
paper above cited, but it is now quite clear that the two hybrids are 
distinct. The variety burfordiense is quite similar to O. Duvivierianum in 
shape, but the segments are more copiously blotched, as in O. cordatum. 
It would be interesting to know how far the three species grow inter- 
mixed, and whether they ever appear in the same importation, on which 
point some of our correspondents may be able to furnish information. 
This much, however, may be said, that all were met with by Ghiestbreght 
when collecting in South Mexico. We do not know of a natural hybrid 
between O. maculatum and O. cordatum, but its appearance may be 
anticipated. We would also suggest that our hybridists might now attempt 
to raise all three hybrids artificially. R.A.R.

CYMBIDIUM GLEBELANDENSE AND C. ROSEUM. RAS 
ed 
URTHER materials of Cymbidium Cooperi and C. roseum have been 
f sent from the collection of G. Hamilton Smith, Esq., Northside, 
Leigh Woods, Bristol (gr. Mr. Coningsby). Both came out of an import- 
ation of C. insigne, and their history has already been given (O.R., Xx: 
p- 131), but there has been a little doubt as to their identity with the 
artificial hybrids, C. glebelandense and var. J. Davis, raised from the same 
two species in the collection of J. Gurney Fowler, Esq. The other day; 
however, we had the good fortune to see several plants of these in flower 
and bud, and obtained materials for comparison. Making a little allowance 
for individual variation, we regard C. Cooperi as substantially identical, and 
propose to call it C. glebelandense var. Cooperi. C. Mavis also, which 
was exhibited by Messrs. Sander & Sons on March 7th, and of which we 
have since received a flower, also appears to be a form of the same. It has 
greenish buff sepals and petals, and a yellowish white, hairy lip, lined with 
red-purple on the side lobes, and a central streak and zone of confluent 
blotches inside the margin of the front lobe.
