E.W.T.— The Odontoglossum is either a form of O. pase gags or a very closely- 
allied hybrid. The former is very variable, probably because some of the forms of O. 
crispum used are themselves of hybrid origin. Cattleya Bo owen pists a concolor is, we 
believe, correct. The brian liiacina was originally described as mauve-lilac, and the two 
are recognised as distinc 
BeTA.—The question is very fully dealt with on pp. 262-264. 
R.J.—Cattleya sera with both white and coloured flowers have certainly 
appeared out 0 me seed-pod, but whether there are cases where both parents were 
coloured we do not vee rat the moment. Some of our. readers may be able to give 
the required information. The parentage in such cases is not always recorded with certainty.
