THE ORCHID REVIEW. 103 
slightly hairy rose-purple margin, and a little light rose suffusion in front. 
It is a very interesting addition to the group. 
L#Lio-CaTTLEYA X Myra. 
A distinct and very pretty hybrid, raised from Cattleya Triane ¢@ and 
Lelia flava g, by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, which received an Award 
of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society on March 12th. The flower 
is about intermediate in size and shape, and the colour primrose yellow 
with a brighter yellow disc. The plant is at present very small, and will 
probably improve greatly in another season or two. 
DENDROBIUM X AINSWORTHII INTERTEXTUM. 
This very pretty variety was raised by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons from 
Dendrobium nobile ?, and what is known as Lee’s variety of D. aureum 
3. The flowers are waxy white, with a slight tendency towards cream- 
colour in the petals, and a little primrose yellow surrounding the feathered 
maroon disc. It is large and handsome, the flower being over three inches 
across, and the petals eleven lines broad.

CATTLEYA TRIANZ ARKLEANA. 
In collecting together the varieties of Cattleya Trianz given on another 
page, we did not find one in which the colour of the front lobe of the lip 
was so rich, and extended so far back in the throat as to completely 
obliterate the yellow blotch, nor do we ever remember to have seen such a 
one. A plant in the collection of John W. Arkle, Esq., Holly Mount, West 
Derby, Liverpool, now flowering for the first time, possesses precisely this 
character. The flower sent is of perfect form, the petals fully two and a 
half inches broad and comparatively short, their colour and that of the 
sepals and base of the lip beautiful blush pink, while the apical half of the 
lip is of a glowing purple-crimson, this colour extending right round the 
side lobes and back into the throat, completely obliterating the yellow 
blotch so characteristic of this species. The lip is well expanded in front, 
beautifully undulate, and measures just two inches across. The basal half of 
the throat is nearly white, like the column, with some deep yellow and 
crimson lines down the centre. It is a variety of exceptional brilliancy. 
ONCIDIUM VARICOSUM ROGERSII. 
A note appears in a recent number of American Gardening (p. 74), by 
‘Mr. R. M. Grey, on a new variety of Oncidium varicosum, called southor- 
angense, which differs from the type in its greater size, the flowers measuring 
over two inches in diameter. This is precisely the character of the variety 
Rogersii, which originally appeared in the collection of Dr. Rogers, of East.
