126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, grt. 
lip, and this, with the clear ground colour and broad denticulate column 
wings, shows the Pescatorei influence. Lastly we have a yellow form of O. 
crispum which was out on January 31st and has not faded at all. It is 
the result of crossing two yellow crispums, and should develop into a very 
fine thing. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A veERY handsome Odontoglossum has been sent from the collection of O. 
O. Wrigley, Esy., Bridge Hall, Bury, which flowered out of a batch of O. 
crispum, and Mr. Rogers remarks that both he and Mr. Wrigley think it is 
a variety of O. triumphans, though they have never seen one like it before. 
It is like a clear light yellow O. triumphans, with a small spot on some of 
the sepals, but none on the petals or lip. The shape and column wings 
are precisely those of O. triumphans, and we regard it as a very distinct 
and beautiful variety of that species. 
Several interesting flowers are sent from the collection of G. Hamilton- 
Smith, Esq., Finchley, by Mr. Coningsby. They include a four-flowered 
inflorescence of Cymbidium Ballii, C. Veitchii, C. Lowianum, and a plant 
marked as derived from C. Tracyanum and C. elegans, though we think 
the parentage requires confirmation. Odontoglossum Marietta was 
obtained as an unflowered seedling from the Earl of Tankerville’s collec- 
tion, and has the sepals much blotched and the petals spotted with purple, 
being larger than one previously sent, but not so good in shape. Another 
is marked as a seedling from O. excellens x loochristiense, and has bright 
yellow flowers blotched with brown. The column wings are entire 
as in the former parent. Lastly must be mentioned a flower of the 
handsome Lycaste Skinneri var. Mrs. G. Hamilton-Smith, which has 
been previously noted, and which is said to have flowered better than 
ever this year. 
Flowers of two very diverse forms of Odontoglossum Maritana (sceptrum 
X Rolfez) are sent from the collection of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill 
Hall, Bishops Waltham. One is compared with a yellow Pescatorei, the 
other with a yellow Rolfez, a comparison justified by resemblances in 
shape. The original form was described at page 286 of our last volume, the 
name being inadvertently given as O. Mauritania. 
Flowers of Lelia Jessica, a very pretty little hybrid from L. Jongheana 
x L. Coronet, are sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., Chamonix, 
Teignmouth. They are comparable with L. Degeestiana (Jongheana X 
flava), having cream white sepals and petals, and a yellow lip with some 
dark lines on the side lobes. The Jongheana character comes out very. 
clearly, but the flower is much smaller. The seedlings are about seven 
years old.
