THE HYBRIDIST. 
PHALENOPSIS X LUEDDE-VIOLACEA, 
Tuis is a beautiful hybrid, which was raised in the establishment of Messrs. 
James Veitch & Sons, from Phalznopsis violacea ¢ and P. Lueddemanniana & , 
and received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
July 23rd last. It is fairly intermediate in character. The flower has 
much of the shape of the pollen parent, and the sepals are closely barred 
with transverse rosy purple lines on a lighter ground. The front lobe of 
the lip is very fleshy, and very slightly hairy on the keel and sides, the 
colour being bright crimson-purple. The side lobes have the shape of the 
two parents, and are yellow in front, with rose-purple tips. There are two 
small teeth in front of the crest. We have received a flower from Messrs. 
Veitch. 
CATTLEYA X FOWLERI. 
A very beautiful hybrid derived from Cattleya Leopoldi fertilized with 
the pollen of C. X Hardyana. It was raised by Messrs. F. Sander & Co., 
and exhibited by J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, S. Woodford, Essex, 
at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on August 13th, when a 
First-class Certificate was awarded. It most resembles the mother plant in 
habit, but at present is much more slender, and the flowers have the 
strongly three-lobed lip usually seen in the hybrids of this group. The 
colour of the sepals and petals is rosy-lilac, and the front lobe of the lip rich 
crimson-purple. The raceme had two flowers, but when the plant becomes 
stronger the number will probably increase. Two other plants have since 
flowered in Messrs. Sander’s establishment, one of them considerably paler 
in colour than the other. 
CATTLEYA X ERos. 
A fine hybrid Cattleya from the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch 
& Sons, to which a First-class Certificate was awarded “by the Royal 
Horticultural Society on August 13th last. It was obtained by crossing C. 
Mossiz with the pollen of C. Walkeriana, and much resembles the latter in 
habit, particularly in the short swollen pseudobulbs. The flowers also 
have the open shape of the latter, but are much larger, and the colour 
is bright rose, with a rich crimson velvety lip. It is a very interesting 
hybrid.
