THE ORCHID REVIEW. *8a 



Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, to December 31st, 1901," 

 compiled by J. Gurney Fowler, Treasurer. It also serves as an Index to 

 the Society's Collection of Paintings, for alter the name we find numbers, 

 in brackets, which indicate the number of paintings, either of the hybrid 

 or its varieties, in the R.H.S. collection, and thus the list has a special 

 value. We may add that it extends to twenty-eight pages, the parents 

 being arranged alphabetically, and thus each hybrid occurring twice. 



In a valuable paper on "Plant Diseases," by George Massee, F.L.S., 

 we find a figure of the Orchid leaf-rust (Glceosporium cinctum), though 

 we fail to find a reference to it in the text. 



The abstracts, as usual, are valuable, and we find the Orchid Review

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 



Three very handsome hybrids are sent from the collection of Sir James 

 Miller, Manderston, Duns., N.B., by Mr. Hamilton. Laelio-cattleya X 

 Lady Miller (L. cinnabarina X C. granulosa Schofieldiana) is a rich orange- 

 yellow flower with some darker veining on the lip, but one of the two forms 

 sent has the very undulate front lobe rich crimson. The others are L.-c. 

 X Hyeana and L.-c. X Major-General Baden- Powell, the former a seedling 

 from Laelia purpurata, and the latter from L. tenebrosa, the pollen parent 

 in each case being Cattleya Lawrenceana. Flowers of three handsome 

 Lffilia cinnabarina hybrids, namely L. X Latona, L. X cinnabrosa, and 

 Laelio-cattleya X Hippolyta, were afterwards sent. 



A fine flower of Laelio-cattleya X Major-Gen. Baden-Powell is also sent 

 from the collection of J. E. Vanner, Esq., Chislehurst, by Mr. Robbins, 

 together with a beautiful light form of Cattleya Mossiae, and two dark late- 

 flowering forms of Paphiopedilum insigne. 



A beautiful flower of Odontoglossum X Rolfe<e is sent from the collec- 

 tion of E. Rogerson, Esq., Oakdene, West Didsbury. The spots of the 

 petals and lips are small, numerous, and more or less confluent. Then, 

 seems to be the usual amount of variation between the individuals of tins 

 hybrid, which represents one of M. Vuylsteke's greatest successes. 



A good form of Laelio-cattleya X Schilleriana is sent from t^****" 

 of Captain Law-Schofield, Rawtenstall, Manchester, by Mr. Schill. Ihe 

 pollinia are very unequal, but the flower in other respects looks about three- 

 fourths Laelia purpurata, the petals being 1} inches across, and the front of 

 the lip very richly coloured. The bulbs are noted as about a foot long and 

 '^FWrs^etrdtr; beauti- **«**-—. are sent from the 

 collect
