CATTLEYA BOWRINGIANA VAR. ASHWORTHII. 
A very pretty variety of Cattleya Bowringiana has appeared in the 
collection of E. Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, in which the 
flowers are of a nearly uniform light rose-purple, with the exception of 
the usual pale throat; thus it differs from the type in having lost the 
broad dark rose-purple margin of the lip. Flowers of the type and of 
the variety violacea are also sent. The latter differs in having the dark 
zone of the lip violet-purple, and the sepals and petals also show a trace 
of the same colour. Placed side by side they form a very charming little 
group, and all possess the same frée-growing habit and floriferous character. 
Introduced ten years ago, this useful autumn-flowering species was soon 
taken in hand by the hybridist, and the results now begin to show them- 
selves, no less than five having been described in our last volume, viz., 
Cattleya x Wendlandiana, C. x Brownie, C. x Mantinii, Lelio-cattleya 
x Parysatis, and Sophro-cattleya x eximia.’ Cattleya x Chloris, described 
in the previous volume, also has the same origin. We anticipate the 
appearance of many others within the next few years. canes 
ODONTOGLOSSUM x WILCKEANUM DOBBELAERZ. 
A very beautiful variety ‘of Odontoglossum x Wilckeanum has just 
flowered in the collection of M. P. Dobbelaere, of Gand, of which a flower 
has been kindly sent us... It combines almost the shape of O. crispum with 
the clear yellow of O. x Wilckeanum sulphureum. The latter, however, 
markedly differs in its much longer and narrower sepals and petals, which, 
like those of O. x W. elegans (Orchid Review, i. p--135), have almost the 
shape of O. x luteopurpureum. The flower sent has one petal unspotted, 
and the other with two small cinnamon spots in the centre, while the dorsal 
and one lateral one have a single spot, and the other four small spots in the 
centre. The lip also is without a cinnamon blotch in front of the crest. 
Individual flowers will, of. course, vary in slight details, but the essential 
characters of this charming variety are its clear canary-yellow flowers and 
broad, slightly spotted segments. Besides the colour, there is the un- 
mistakable influence of O. luteopurpureum in the shape of the lip, the crest, 
and the much-fimbriated column wings. It is very distinct and handsome, 
and illustrates once more the great variability of these natural hybrids. It 
is dedicated, by request, to the wife of M. Dobbelaere. :
