8 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Ashworthianum, from the collection of E. Ashworth, Esq.,; which, like the 
preceding, secured a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. A curious 
variegated form of D. nobile was recorded from two different collections. 
Then there is Cypripedium insigne Measuresiz, a remarkable variety from 
the collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., Cattleya Bowringiana Lady Wigan, 
from the collection of Sir Frederick Wigan, and a few others. 
Coming to the hybrids, we must first notice the remarkable achievement 
of M. Ch. Vuylsteke, in flowering three hybrid Odontoglossums within the 
year, namely: O. xX loochristiense, O. x crispo-Harryanum, and O. X 
Rolfez. M. Vuylsteke must be congratulated on his success. The second, 
which is scarcely the most beautiful, secured a First-class Certificate at the 
Temple Show. A similar award went to the splendid Cattleya X Maroni, 
of M. Ch. Maron, who also raised Lelio-cattleya x intermedio-flava. 
Dendrobium xX formoso-Lowii and Cypripedium X Argo-Morganiz, were 
raised in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, each of which secured an 
Award of Merit, and the former is particularly interesting, as extending the 
area of the hybridist’s operations. Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, the pioneers 
of Orchid hybridisation, have again made some choice additions to the list, 
among which we may mention Lelio-cattleya x lencasta, Epidendrum xX 
Phoebus, E. X radicanti-Stamfordianum, and Epicattleya xX radiato- 
Bowringiana, Phalznopsis X Cassandra, P. x Stuartiano-Mannii, Cattleya 
X Gertrude, C. x Ella, Masdevallia x Imogen, M. X Circe, Cypripeditm 
X Rothschildiano-villosum, and others, which we have not space to 
enumerate. Paphiopedium x Rowena, P. x Mahlere, P. x Lily 
Measures, and P. x J. Coles, are handsome additions from the collection 
of R. H. Measures, Esq. P. x westoniense, from the collection of W. 
M. Appleton, Esq., is interesting as the first artificial hybrid from P. 
Appletonianum. Sophrocattleya x Chamberlainii is a handsome hybrid 
from the collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.P., and S. x G. 
Hardy another from the collection of F. Hardy, Esq. Cattleya x Thorntoni 
is a very handsome hybrid from the collection of T. W. Thornton, Esq. 
Epilelia x Charlesworth was raised by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., and 
Paphiopedium x Chamber-Leeanum, by M. Ed, Pynaert. Phains x 
Norman is a great acquisition from the collection of N. C. Cookson, Esq., 
and Lycaste x Ballie an interesting addition from the collection of G. 
S. Ball, Esq. A particularly noteworthy event js that artificially raised 
plants of Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana have flowered, both with Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co., and with M. Ch. 
which has long been assigned to it. 
The above does not by any means exhaust the list, but it contains the 
more striking novelties, and suffices to show the marked advance which 
has been made within the year.
