336 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
PHRAGMIPEDILUM X GERALDA. 
This is a very pretty hybrid which has been raised in the collection of 
Mr. W. D. Rockefeller, by Mr. William Turner, from S. Lindleyanum 
crossed with the pollen of S. caudatum, and combines well the characters 
of its two parents. The scape is three-flowered, and the flowers smaller 
than those of P. X grande, to which it bears a general resemblance. The 
dorsal sepal is ovate-lanceolate, with a strongly reflexed crenate margin, 
and the colour greenish yellow. The petals are pendulous, about five inches 
long, half an inch wide at the base and narrowed towards the apex, and the 
colour yellowish, with brown-crimson veins except near the base. The lip 
most resembles that of P. caudatum, the colour being brownish green, with 
darker veins, and the infolded side lobes finely dotted with brown-crimson. 
The staminode is intermediate in character. It is described by Mr. Oakes 
Ames in a recent number of American Gardening (Sept. 23, p. 654), as - 
Selenipedium X Geralda—being dedicated to Mrs. Rockefeller,—but it is 
now known that this generic name _belongs to the tall foliose species of 
which S, palmifolium is the type. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X ETHELWALD. 
AN interesting hybrid from the collection of the Rev. F. Paynter, Stoke 
Hill, Guildford, derived from Cattleya Gaskelliana x Laelia Boothiana, and 
somewhat resembling Lzlio-cattleya x Gottoiana. The sepals and petals 
are rosy-lilac, and the lip, which shows the influence of the Lelia parent in 
its crisped margin, is rosy-lilac, veined with purple in front, and 
passing into orange-colour in the centre, and red at the base.—O’Brien in | 
Gard. Chron., Oct. 7, p. 273. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X HELVETIA. 
A HYBRID from the collection of John Leemann, Esq., Heaton Mersey, 
which was purchased from M. Otto Froebel, of Switzerland, and exhibited 
at the meeting of the Manchester Orchid Society on September 21st last 
as Cypripedium seedling. The parentage is believed to have been 
C. Chamberlainianum x philippinense. The dorsal sepal is broadly ovate, 
acuminate, pale apple green with a_ white margin, and about a dozen 
blotched chocolate-purple lines radiating from the base. The petals are 
three inches long, decurved and reflexed at the tips, twisted, and bearing on 
the undulate margin ciliated warted protuberances, the colour being 
greenish white, profusely spotted with chocolate-purple. The lip is pale 
yellow at the base and the edges of the side lobes, tinged with rose in front, 
and spotted inside with purple; and the staminode cushion-shaped, 
emerald green, and shading off to yellowish green at the margin, which 
bears a conspicuous fringe of blackish hairs.—Cypripedium x Helvetia, 
O’Brien in Gard. Chron., Oct. 7; D. 273.
