THE ORCHID REVIEW. ts 
like a pale example of the form first named. Mr. Hurst has thirty plants 
of this cross in bud, and more variations may be anticipated. 
L#ELIO-CATTLEYA X CRANSTOUN# has evidently improved since it was 
described at page 19 of our last volume. A three-flowered inflorescence is 
now sent, together with a photograph, and the description being so recent 
we may briefly add that the flowers are most like Lelia tenebrosa in shape, 
and Cattleya Harrisoniana in size and colour. 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X HITCHINSI& VAR. PICTUM.—This is another very 
pretty little hybrid from Mr. Appleton’s collection. It was derived from 
P. Charlesworthii and P. insigne atratum, the former in this case being the 
seed parent. It differs from the typical form (figured at page 49 of our last 
volume) in having the base of the dorsal sepal almost entirely suffused with 
red-purple, from which extend broad lines of similar colour to some distance 
beyond the middle, the remainder being white. The additional colour, 
which comes from the dark form of the pollen parent used, renders it very 
attractive, and as the plant is small at present it is likely to develop into a 
good thing. 
CaTTLEYA X CLARKI&.—A distinct and pretty hybrid has just flowered 
for the first time in the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth. It 
was purchased in January, 1899, from’ Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., of 
Heaton, Bradford, as an unflowered seedling derived from C. bicolor X 
labiata, and the flower sent is just what might be expected from such a 
cross. The petals are more than twice as broad as the sepals, both being 
light rosy purple in colour, and the lip has the characteristic shape of C. 
bicolor, but is considerably enlarged, and with a pair of small auriculate side 
lobes, which envelope the lower half of thecolumn. The whole of the front 
lobe and disc of the lip, right down to the base, are of a brilliant amethyst 
purple, and the side lobes are white. It has only produced a single flower 
at the first attempt, but will, of course, develop a raceme as it becomes 
stronger. Mr. Clark states that the plant has five bulbs, which are fairly 
intermediate in shape, the longest being about 5% inches long and bearing a 
single leaf 7 inches long. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X ALBERTI.—A very distinct and pretty hybrid 
raised in the establishment L’Horticulture Coloniale, Brussels, it is said, 
from Lzlia purpurata and Cattleya velutina, and flowered at Moortebeek 
in October last. The flower is most like the Lzlia parent, both in shape 
and colour, but is reduced in size, and the expanded front lobe of the lip 
bears a large, bright, rose-purple, feathered blotch, recalling in some 
respects that of Dendrobium x Ainsworthii. A figure appears in the last 
issue of Lindenia (t. 723). The sepals and petals are white, with a slight
