Elaine, but the second parent is not known. It has narrow very acuminate 
segments, with pale yellow ground colour and very numerous brown dots, 
and showing much reversion to O. cirrhosum. 
A beautiful form of Brassocattleya Pocahontas, called White Lady, has 
been sent from the collection of J. J. Holden, Esq., Southport, by Mr. R- 
Johnson, who. remarks that it was derived from C. Eldorado alba xX B. 
Digbyana. The flower is white, with a light green disc to the well-fringed 
lip. There is also a very fine richly-coloured Odontoglossum, which we 
take to be a form of O. Vuylstekez, and one called O. Major White 
(crispum X Lambeauianum), a very large white flower copiously blotched 
with purple, having petals 14 inches broad and 3? inches from tip to tip. 
A flower of Lelia chamonicensis is sent from the collection of E. F- 
Clark, Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth. It was raised from seed obtained 
from Messrs. Keeling and Sons, in 1902, as Lelia purpurata x L. 
Jongheana. The influence of the latter is apparent in the shape of the 
flowers, and in the yellow disc of the lip with slightly raised keels, but there 
is very little trace of the characteristic veining of L. purpurata. The 
sepals and petals are lilac-purple, and the front of the lip’ rather darker, 
with a whitish area in front of the yellow throat. Mr. Clark observes that 
the habit is most like L. Jongheana with rather stout bulbs. Two other 
flowers are sent, one a light-coloured form of Leeliocattleya Cornelia 
(L. pumila X C. labiata), and the other supposed to be from C. Gaskelliana 
x L. Iona, having lilac-coloured sepals and petals, and the front lobe of 
the lip rich purple, with a yellow throat. 
A flower of a handsome dark form of Cymbidium Tracyanum is sent 
from the collection of D. L. Thorpe, Esq., Loshville, Etterby Scaur, 
Carlisle. Mr. Thorpe remarks that it is ina 12-inch pot, and bears two 
spikes of about twelve blooms each. 
HYBRIDIST., 
Laia X CHATINI.—This is a very handsome deep buff yellow hybrid, raised 
in the collection of M. J. Ginot, St. Etienne, France, it is said from Lelia 
Jongheana ¢ x L. harpophylla ¢, though'the segments are surprisingly 
broad for such across. The flower has an expanse of over 54 inches, and 
the petals are about I? inches broad, and approach those of some Cattleyas 
of the labiata group in shape. The lip is entire, and, when expanded, 
nearly orbicular in outline, and about 2+ inches long. The colour may be 
described as rich buff yellow throughout. Some time ago it was remarked 
that good yellow Cattleyas were a desideratum, and this is a step in the 
right direction, though we cannot help wondering whether it is not the 
result of some other cross. We have not seen the plant, and the pollinia 
have been removed from the flower sent.
