22Q THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



Paphiopedilum X burbagense.— A fine hybrid raised by Captain 

 C. C. Hurst, Burbage, Hinckley, from Paphiopedilum X insigne 

 Chantini ? and P. X selligerum rubrum $ . The habit is said to be 

 vigorous, and the leaves dark green and thick, but otherwise intermediate. 

 The scape sent is two-flowered, the flowers on the whole most resembling 

 those of the pollen parent. The dorsal sepal is broadly rounded, two inches 

 broad, and closely lined with dark brown on a light ground, which becomes 

 white at the margin, and the lines may be described as for the most part 

 made up of rows of narrow confluent spots. The petals are drooping, 

 acute, 3 inches long, and purple-red in colour, becoming yellowish at 

 the base, with some spots on the lower halves. The lip is purple-brown, 

 most resembling that of the pollen parent ; and the staminode is concave, 

 hairy, broader than long, and truncately obcordate. It was raised in 1898, 

 and has evidently not yet reached its full development, for the lower flower 



Zygopetalum X Roeblingianum.— In a report of the second annual 

 spring show of the Horticultural Society of New York, held on May 14th 

 and 15th in the New York Botanical Garden, we find the following short 

 note of a new hybrid Zygopetalum :— " Mr. C. J. Roebling (gardener, 

 H. T. Clinkaberry), Trenton, N. J., sent a new hybrid Zygopetalum 

 (rostratum X Gautieri), and named Z. Roeblingianum. It is about the 

 prettiest of all the Zygopetalums we have seen and has large flowers 

 {certificate)."— Amer. Gard., xxiii., p. 324. There is nothing in the way of 

 •description, but with a knowledge of the parents we can form some idea of 

 what the hybrid would-be like. 



Zygonisia X Rolfeana. — This is a new generic hybrid, raised by 

 Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, between Aganisia lepida 5 and 

 Zygopetalum Gautieri $ , to which an Award of Merit was given at the 

 recent R.H.S. meeting at Holland House. It bears a general resemblance 

 to Zygocolax, and has flowers of intermediate structure, and the colour 

 whitish spotted with violet. 



L^lio-cattleya X Acis. — A promising hybrid between Laelia 

 tenebrosa and Cattleya Mendelii is sent from the collection of Sir James 

 Miller, Manderston, Duns, N.B., by Mr. Hamilton. It is said to have 

 been raised by Messrs. Sander & Sons, and most resembles the Cattleya 

 parent in habit. The flowers are fairly intermediate, and yellowish white 

 in colour, with a light violet-purple lip. 



We note with surprise the reference " Cattleya Clymene, L. Lind. in 

 Orch. Rev., 1901, p. 302," in a recent issue of the Lindenia (t. 7 6l )> 

 The article was not written by M. Linden, nor was any sugges- 

 tion made as to the name the plant should bear when the flowers 

 were sent.
