THE HYBRIDIST. 
CATTLEYA X INTRICATA “VAR. RossIl. 
THIS is a very pretty hybrid derived from Cattleya Leopoldi ? and C. 
intermedia ¢, which was exhibited by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, 
at the Temple Show. The plant bore three good racemes of flowers, most 
resembling C. intermedia in shape, but the sepals and petals strongly 
suffused with rose-pink and spotted with purple, as in C. Leopoldi. The 
lip is strongly three-lobed, the front lobe being brilliant. purple, and the 
remainder suffused like the sepals and petals except in the absence of spots. 
It is particularly interesting, because derived from the two supposed parents 
of the natural hybrid C. Xx intricata, and the general resemblance is so 
great that the present one must be considered as a variety of C. X intricata, 
whose origin is thus demonstrated. 
L&LIO-CATTLEYA X TYNTESFIELDENSE. 
A splendid hybrid of unrecorded parentage was exhibited at the Temple 
Show by G. W. Law Schofield, Esq., New-Hall-Hey, Rawtenstall, 
Manchester, and was awarded a First-class Certificate. It clearly combines 
the characters of Lelia purpurata and Cattleya Dowiana, and there can be 
little doubt of its descent from these two species. In general shape it 
resembles the hybrids from Lelia purpurata and a Cattleya of the labiata 
group, and the influence of the former species is apparent in many features 
of the flower. Cattleya Dowiana, on the other hand, comesout strongly in the 
dark and richly-coloured lip, with traces of golden veining inside the throat, 
and the same influence is also discernible in the sepals and petals, which 
are cream-coloured, tinged and somewhat veined with light rose. The lip 
is a deep velvety ruby-red, deepening to maroon at the mouth of the throat, 
with the afore-mentioned yellow marbling inside. It is one of the most 
brilliant of the C. Dowiana hybrids. Respecting its origin we are without 
information, except that it was purchased by F. Hardy, Esq., at one of 
Messrs. Protheroe & Morris’ sales, without record of its parentage. 
LA&LIO-CATTLEYA X CANHAMIANA VAR. LApy WIGAN. 
This is a most beautiful variety, derived from Lelia purpurata 
Russelliana 2 and Cattleya Mossiz aurea g¢, for which Messrs. Charles- 
worth & Co. received a First-class Certificate at the Temple Show. The 
flowers are very large and of excellent shape, the sepals and petals being 
blush-white, and the lip pinkish white, with some purple markings on the 
disc and bright yellow inside the throat. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X CONCO-BELLATULUM. 
A handsome hybrid Cypripedium, exhibited at the Temple Show by T. 
Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester, to which an Award ot
