ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 



Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. 

 Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay. 

 Laelio-cattleya X Ophelia (Cattleya Bowringiana X Lselio-cattleya X 

 elegans) is a very pretty little hybrid which is represented by a four-flowered 

 inflorescence. The flowers much resemble the first-mentioned parent in 

 shape and size, but the sepals are lilac-purple, the petals rather darker in 

 colour, and the throat of the lip white, with the front lobe bright purple, 

 which colour extends round the undulate margin as a narrow band. L.-c. X 

 Tydea (C. Trianae X L. pumila) is another charming thing having rose- 

 purple sepals and petals, and a very rich purple-crimson lip, with a pale 

 throat, on which some purple lines stand out prominently. The hybrid 

 known as Laelia X Mrs. M. Gratrix is represented by a fine flower, having 

 a yellow fringed lip, and the sepals and "petals tinged with reddish orange. 

 Dendrobium is represented by three charming little hybrids, namely, D. X 

 Schneiderianum (Findlayanum X aureum), D. X Roeblingianum (nobile 

 X Ruckeri), in which the latter parent predominates, both in shape and 

 colour, almost to the exclusion of the other, and one called D. X Clio 

 Chamberlain's var. (D. x Ainsworthii splendidissimum X Wardjanum), 

 a beautiful ivory-white form, with a rich maroon-crimson 'slightly feathered 

 blotch on the disc. 



A flower of the beautiful Paphiopedilum X Calypso (Spicerianum X 

 Boxallii) is sent from the collection of Fred. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, 

 Ashton-on-Mersey, by Mr. Stafford. It is comparable with P. X Latham, 

 ianum, but has a much greater suffusion of purple in the dorsal sepal. A 

 very curious form of P. X Bartelsii (P. Boxallii X callosum) is also sent, in 

 which the dorsal sepal, petals, and front of the lip are irregularly striped 

 with dark brown and green, something after the fashion of P. X Harris- 

 ianum marmoratum. There is also a curious twist about the flower, as 

 seen in some others of this affinity, which gives it a deformed appearance 

 the reverse of pleasing. 



A beautiful series of Dendrobiums is sent from the Establishment of 

 Mr. James Cypher, Queen's Road Nursery, Cheltenham. The forms of D.
