24 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



P. i. tesselatum is rather smaller, and has very numerous blotches, which 

 are more or less confluent. P. i. Berryanum is a rather large ffower, with 

 the dorsal sepal longer than in the preceding forms, and the blotches very 

 few and large. P. i. macranthum has a broad dorsal sepal, with the spots 

 rather large and not very numerous, and the petals well spotted on a light 

 ground, in which it differs from all the preceding, p. i. smaragdinum is a 

 large flower, with very little brown on the petals and lip, while the spots on 

 the dorsal sepal are few and rather small, and the white area broad. P. i. 

 corrugatum is remarkable for its constantly corrugated lip, with the dorsal 

 sepal much as in the old P. insigne. Of yellow forms there is the well- 

 known and beautiful P. i. Sanders ; P. i. Dorothy with a rather broader 

 dorsal sepal, which is regularly blotched throughout the green area with 

 indistinct greenish-brown blotches ; and P. i. Youngianum, approaching the 

 last, but the lip and dorsal sepal rather narrower, and the blotches extend-

: purple 



P. X Leeanum is represented, by 

 marked by the small green basal area, and the numerous small purple spots 

 on the dorsal sepal. A second form with the same name has the petals and! 

 hp darker in colour. P. X L. conspicuum is a very fine form having more- 

 green and fewer purple spots. P. x L. perfectum is much like the last, but 

 the petals, and indeed the whole flower, very regular in shape. P. X L.. 

 magnificum is a fine thing, having very few spx)ts on the white area, but a 

 broad purple band extending to the apex of the dorsal sepal. P. X L. 

 Clinkaberryanum has very many small purple spots on the dorsal sepal, 

 which is nearly three inches broad, and the petals are an inch across. It is 

 the largest of the series. 



P. X nitens magnificum, one of Mr. Wrigley's seedlings, is a remark- 

 ably handsome form, approaching P. villosum in the warm colour of the 

 lip and petals, the latter also measuring i 3-8 inches broad, while the bright 

 green area of the large dorsal sepal is- very regularly blotched with dark 

 brown, and sharply defined from the very broad white margin. P. X n. 

 Wrigleyanum, another Bridge Hall seedling, is remarkable for its broad,, 

 slightly concave, dorsal sepal, which is densely spotted with minute dark 

 brown spots, and the horizontally spreading petals. The well-known P. X 

 Sallieri Hyeanum is a form of the same hybrid, having the spots on the 

 dorsal sepal small and rather scattered. 



The remaining flowers are the handsomely spotted P. x Arthurianum ;: 

 P. X calloso-Warneri, a very richly coloured flower, having the dorsal 

 si-pal wined almost throughout with rrin^nn • T> ^ \g-
