OcrogER, 1916.} THE ORCHID REVIEW. 239 
CROSSES WITH L2:LIOCATTLEYA. 
There are ten combinations with Leliocattleya, the hybrids being Lc. 
Faustina with bletchleyensis, Lc. decora with Clive, Lc. Illione with 
Dominiana, Lc. Tiresias with elegans, Lc. Lavinia with Epicasta, Lc. 
Henrietta with Haroldiana, Lc. Robsoniz with Ingramii, Lc. Garnet with 
La France, and Lc. Hera with Leeana. We have not attempted to analyse 
the parents, because of their mixed origin, but affinities with some of the 
hybrids of the preceding groups can be traced through their common 
ancestry. 
OTHER CROSSES. 
There remain to be mentioned the crosses with Epidendrum and with 
Sophronitis, which are classed under Epicattleya and Sophrocattleya, 
and areas follows: Epicattleya O’Brieniz with Epidendrum O’Brienianum, 
Ec. Sedenii with E. radicans, and Sophrocattleya eximia with Sophronitis 
grandiflora, the former having received a First-class Certificate from 
the R.H.S. 
The species does not appear to have been recrossed with any of its 
hybrids, probably on account of its rather small flowers. 
as | ORCHIDS AT KEW. bec) 
EVERAL very interesting Orchids are again in flower at Kew, and 
among them the fine Odontoglossum chiriquense, whose history and a 
figure were given at page 177. It is probably the handsomest species of 
the O. coronarium section. Stauropsis Imthurnii is an interesting Solomon 
Island species that was introduced by Sir Everard im Thurn, late Governor 
of Fiji, and has bloomed twice in the collection. The flowers are borne in 
an ample panicle, and are white with a few purple markings on the lip. 
Cynorchis villosa is a terrestrial Orchid from Madagascar that is bearing a 
spike of its very hairy flowers, while the allied C. purpurascens, with heads 
of purple flowers and ample solitary leaves, is very effective. The quaint 
genus Cycnoches is represented by C. pentadactylon, C. maculatum, and C. 
chlorochilon, the former bearing one of its very distinct female flowers. A 
plant of Sigmatostalix costaricensis bears several spikes of bloom, and S. 
radicans, suspended near by, is flowering profusely. Cattleyas are making 
a profuse display, the hybrids of C. Bowringiana being represented by C. 
Mantinii, Wendlandiana, and Brownie, all very free-flowering and 
beautiful. Several of the Brazilian Miltonias are also flowering well. 
The remarkable Bulbophyllum Warpurii is just over, but other curious 
Bulbophyllums are in bloom, also representatives of the allied genus 
Cirrhopetalum, and a number of other interesting Orchids.
