Ocroser, 1911.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 315 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A FLOWER of a charming little hybrid is sent from the collection of 
W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens, who remarks 
that it isa seedling from O. nzvium crossed with a blotched form of O. 
crispum. It isa form of O. Nerissa, originally raised in the collection of 
de Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, and described at page 185, 
of our sixteenth volume. It has retained much of the O. nzevium shape 
and undulate segments, but is much enlarged, and the ground colour is 
white, copiously blotched with red-brown. 
Three handsome flowers have been sent from the collection of G. 
Hamilton-Smith, Esq., Finchley, by Mr. Coningsby. The first, derived 
from Cattleya Schilleriana X C. Mossiz Arnoldiana, is a very large form of 
C. Harrisiz, the petals being 3% inches long, and the colour lilac-rose, while 
the side lobes of the strongly three-lobed lip are white, and the broad 
undulate front lobe veined with crimson on a lighter ground. It was 
purchased as a seedling three years ago. Cattleya intermedia alba X 
C. Mossiz Reineckeana is a pretty blush-white flower, with rosy veining on 
the front of the lip, much as in the pollen parent. It may be called 
C. Dusseldorfii var. bella. Mr. Coningsby remarks: ‘‘ Several of this batch 
have flowered, and all have been much alike. It is a very pretty little 
thing, but we had hoped for one white form at least, though up to the 
present it has not appeared.’’ The remaining flower is Cattleya Mantinit 
nobilior, a well known and handsome form. 
A flower of the striking New Guinea Paphiopedilum przstans is sent 
from the collection of Edward H. Robertson, Esq., Burnside, Forfar, N.B. 
Mr. Robertson remarks that it is from an imported plant, obtained from 
Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, and that it has now produced a scape 20 
inches high, with four flowers. 
A flower of Lzliocattleya Ursula (L.-c. crispa X L.-c. corbeillensis) is 
sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., Evershot, Dorchester. It is 
decidedly superior to the original form, described at page 157 of our 
fifteenth volume, having bright rose sepals and petals, and the front lobe of 
the undulate lip rich purple, with darker veins, and the tube much paler. 
Mr. Clark remarks that the plant is strong and shows more of the crispa 
habit than the original one. Another interesting flower has the record 
Cattleya Leopoldii x Mossiz, and has bronzy sepals*and petals, and a 
deeply three-lobed lip, with a broad bright purple front lobe, and paler 
acute side lobes. A flower of another seedling was noted at page 348 of our 
last volume, and there was a doubt about the parentage. The pollinia, 
however, are as in Cattleya, and we suppose it must be a form of C. Cyane, 
Two very diverse forms of Lezliocattleya Walter Gott (C. bicolor X
