THE ORCHID REVIEW. 197 
seedling. With such a parentage it can hardly fail to develop into a fine 
thing, even if less distinct in colour than could have been wished, and other 
seedlings may vary in this respect. 
Lauia X Diana.—A hybrid between Lelia purpurata and L. Dayana 
ought to be a fine thing, and it is surprising that it has not appeared before. 
Mr. A. J. Keeling, of Cottingley, Bingley, has now flowered such a plant— 
the seed parent being L. purpurata rosea—and it is just as good as might 
have been anticipated. Moderate in size, excellent in shape, and extremely 
rich in colour, it is a decided acquisition. It is most like L. Dayana in 
shape, and the petals measure 24 inches long by over 1} inches broad, while 
the lip is large and nicely undulated. In colour the latter organ is a very 
deep, almost blackish purple, rather lighter in front and at the extreme base, 
while the rest of the flower is very bright rose-purple. The prominent keels 
of L. Dayana are only represented by rather darker, scarcely thickened 
veins. The plant is four years old and not yet fully developed. The 
flower sent is from a plant exhibited at the R. H. S. meeting on June 
18th last. 
L&LIO-CATTLEYA X ViNESI#.—A handsome hybrid from the collection 
of E. F. Clark, Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth, which was purchased from 
_ Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., of Bradford, as a hybrid derived from Lelia 
tenebrosa X Lelio-cattleya X Phoebe. The latter was derived from Lelia 
cinnabarina and Cattleya Mossiz — and is indeed a form of L.-c. X 
Hippolyta, originating from the reversed cross—and the new hybrid is such 
a plant as might have been expected. The sepals and petals are tawny 
yellow—the latter measuring over three inches long by nearly 1} broad— 
and the lip much like that of L. tenebrosa, but smaller and of a brighter 
purple. It is a most promising hybrid, and should develop into a fine thing 
when the plant becomes strong. It is dedicated by request to Mrs. Clark, 
née Miss Edith Vines. 
L#&LIO-CATTLEYA X BALLUI.—This is a very handsome hybrid originally 
raised by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons from Lelia cinnabarina ¢ and 
Cattleya Schroeder g. A very beautiful flower of a hybrid derived from 
the same two species is sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., 
Chamonix, Teignmouth. It bears a general resemblance to the former, 
much enlarged in size, and the colour is deep orange-yellow, with the 
front part of the lip more or less suffused with a reddish tinge in front 
of the orange disc. Several plants of this fine hybrid appeared in groups 
at the Temple Show, varying somewhat in colour, but the front lobe 
of the lip seems to be generally lighter than in other hybrids between 
L. cinnabarina and the species of the labiata group. It is a very hand- 
some hybrid.
