94 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MaRcH, 1g1t. 
given) shows affinities with C. niveum and insigne, the sepals and petals 
being white with purple spotting at the base, and the lip and staminode 
yellowish. 
A fine form of Odontoglossum Crawshayanum (Harryanum xX Hallii) is 
sent by Messrs. J. & A. A. McBean, Cooksbridge. The sepals and petals 
are very heavily blotched with dark brown, with yellow tips, and the lip is 
very broad, white, with many small brown spots on the basal half, and with 
the usual yellow spiny crest. The lip becomes light yellow as the flowers 
get old. 
Three interesting flowers are sent from the collection of G. Hamilton- 
Smith, Esq., Finchley, by Mr. Coningsby. Cattleya Trianz grandis is 
from a small propagated piece from the Bradshaw collection, and has very 
broad blush pink petals, and the front of the lip rich purple, with the usual 
deep yellow blotch in the throat. Odontoglossum Othello is a seedling 
flowering for the first time, and shows much of the O. Harryanum character. 
The other is supposed to be a form of O. amcenum (nobile X sceptrum), but 
is most like the second parent in shape and colour. It was purchased at 
the sale of the Wigan collection. 
_ Another pretty form of Brassocatlelia Fragneana is sent by M. J. Ginot, 
St. Etienne, quite distinct from the-one described at page 45. The 
flowers are light yellow, with an obscurely three-lobed lip, the front lobe 
being rose-purple, with some deep yellow in the throat. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
CaTTLEYA HoLDENII.-—A very beautiful hybrid sent from the collection of 
J. J. Holden, Esq., Southport, by Mr. R. Johnson, who remarks that its 
parentage is C. intermedia alba X C. Warneri alba. The spike bears six 
- charming white flowers, with the faintest tinge of blush pink on the front 
lobe of the lip. The lip is somewhat 3-lobed, but in other respects the 
- flowers are fairly intermediate in size and shape. 
OpontocLossum ALwyn.—A hybrid raised in the collection of Alwyn 
- Harrison, Esq., Lyndhurst, Watford, in 1907, from O. Ernestii (Adriane X 
triumphans) crossed with the pollen of O. Hunnewellianum, and now 
flowering for the first time. It bears a considerable resemblance to the 
latter in shape, and has light yellow flowers, much blotched with brown. 
The lip is round, and bears one large blotch in front and several smaller 
ones on either side of the two diverging keels of the crest, while the column 
wings are nearly entire. The seedling is very small at present. 
LALIOCATTLEYA GLaucus.—A very beautiful hybrid, raised in the 
collection of Lieut.-Col. Sir G. L. Holford, K.C.V.O., Westonbirt, by Mr. 
H. G. Alexander, from Lelia purpurata crossed with the pollen of Leelio- 
cattleya rubens (C. Hardyana x L. pumila), and now flowering for the first
