208 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
interesting lot. There are nice little plants of Cattleya x Hardyana, 
raised from C. Warscewiczii X Dowiana aurea, also of Lelia xanthina X 
Cattleya Dowiana aurea, and Cattleya labiata (true) XX Sophronitis 
grandiflora, both very promising crosses, and these are only examples out 
of a series of crosses, represented by numerous healthy little plants, whose 
flowering may be anticipated in due course. In short, this department 
is fully as interesting as any other in this thoroughly representative 
collection. : 
NOVELTIES. 
CATTLEYA HARRISONIANA, COMTE VISART’S VARIETY.—A white variety, 
with a few minute purple spots on the back of the sepals, anda pale golden- 
yellow disc to the lip. It appeared in Messrs. F. Sander & Co.’s Nursery 
at Bruges, and is now in the collection of Comte Visart, St. Croix, Bruges. 
—Krinzl, in Gard. Chron., Oct. 31st, 1896, p. 520. 
CLEISOSTOMA ZOLLINGERIANUM, Kranzl.—A_ curious species, which 
flowered in the collection of M. Zollinger Jenny, of Zurich. It is allied to 
C. Dawsonianum, Rchb. f., and has a thick cushion of golden yellow hairs 
on the disc of the lip. The flowers are yellow, with some purple stripes on 
the sepals and petals.—Gard. Chron., Jan. 30th, p. 70. 
BULBOPHYLLUM PTILOGLOSsUM, Kranzl—A Madagascar species, dis- 
covered by the late Johannes Braun, and flowered with M. Hermann Wend- 
land, at Herrenhausen, near Hanover. It is allied to B. calamarium, LindL., 
and has smaller flowers with the sepals green, spotted with purple, and the 
lip covered with purple hairs.—Gard. Chron., May 22nd, p. 330. 
DENDROBIUM VicToRIA-REGIN&, Loher.—Described as one of the 
most wonderful Dendrobiums, both for its beautiful blue colour and for 
flowering, and one that will soon be a great favourite with Orchid collectors. 
Its branching stems produce great numbers of richly dark blue and white 
blossoms an inch across, borne in trusses of three to twelve, and lasting in 
bloom for several weeks; the sepals and petals white, with a great blue blotch 
at the edges. It is presumably of Philippine origin, and grows at 6,000 feet 
altitude. Its affinity is not stated—Gard. Chron., June 19th, p. 399- 
DENDROBIUM PapiLio, Loher.—Described as a charming species of the 
crumenatum group, with solitary, pale rose, fragrant flowers nearly two inches 
in diameter, which only last one or two days. The sepals and petals are 
ovate, and the lip stipitate, broad and undulate, with a few purple veins.— 
Gard, Chron., June 26th, p. 416. i
