THE ORCHID REVIEW. 79 
and L.-c. X Doris var. Xantho is a striking yellow variety of a hybrid 
which first appeared in 1894. Cattleya x Euphrasia (Warscewiczii @ X 
superba #), C. X Elvina (Triane ? X Schilleriana 3), and C. x Apollo 
(Mossie 2 X Aclandie ¢g), are all very promising. Epidendrum xX 
elegantulum (E. Wallisii ¢ x E. x Endresio-Wallisii 3), and Masdevallia 
xX Ajax(M. X Chelsoni ? xX M. peristeria $), are two interesting secondary 
hybrids, as is also Chysis X langleyensis (C. X Chelsoni g¢ xX C. 
bractescens g). Phaio-calanthe X Sedeni albiflora and Selenipedium xX 
Schreedere candidulum are also a pair of sterling novelties. Among 
Cypripediums may be mentioned C. X Baron Schréder (C. X cenanthum 
superbum 9 X C. Fairrieanum ¢), C. X Eurydes (C. X Leeanum 2 X 
C. Boxallii ¢), and C. x Regina (C. X Leeanum 2 X C. Fairrieanum 
3). Phalenopsis x Ariadne is an interesting hybrid, raised from P. 
Aphrodite ? and P. Stuartiana ¢. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co. have flowered several interesting things, the 
most remarkable being Calanthe x albata (C. veratrifolia ? xX C. X 
Cooksoni ¢), the first successful cross between the evergreen and deciduous 
sections of the genus. Phaius X Ashworthianus (Wallichii var. Manni ? 
Xx maculatus ¢) and Dendrobium x Curtisii (D. x Cassiope ¢ xX 
aureum ¢') are also very promising. Several Cypripediums, too, must be 
mentioned, as C. X Minnie Ames (Curtisii @ x concolor 3), C. x A. R. 
Smith (callosum @ X Druryi ¢), C. X Fairy Queen (Curtisii 9 X 
Druryi ¢), C. X Neptune (C. X Io grande ? X C. Rothschildianum ¢), 
and several other good secondary hybrids. 
Cattleya X super-Forbesii (C. Forbesii X superba) appeared with Mr. 
James Cypher, of Cheltenham, and Zygopetalum xX Perrenondi (inter- 
medium ? X Gautieri ¢), with M. A. A. Peeters, of Brussels. 
The foregoing is not by any means an exhaustive list, but it contains 
most of the important novelties of the year. Varieties have been for the most 
part omitted, also those with new names which are synonymous with pre- 
existing forms—a class always far too numerous. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
PHALENOPSIS X HEBE. 
Tuis is a very interesting and pretty hybrid, raised in the establishment 
of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, from Phalznopsis Sanderiana ? and P. 
rosea g, to which an Award of Merit was given by the Royal Horticultural 
Society on February gth, last. As might be supposed, it bears . consider- 
able resemblance to P. X intermedia, the difference in parentage being that
