292 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
of Minas Geraes, Brazil, in 1873. In August, 1893, a plant was exhibited 
at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society by Major Joicey, Sunning- 
dale Park, under the name of M. X Joiceyana, and received a First-class 
Certificate, being afterwards described by Mr. J. O’Brien as a supposed 
hybrid between M. Clowesii and M. candida. Still later a plant appeared 
with Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. Heaton, Bradford, and in October, 1895, 
it was exhibited at a meeting of the R. H. S. from the collections of Walter 
Cobb, Esq., and of S. G. Lutwyche, Esq., when its history was given in 
these pages. It should be added that Mr. Cobb’s plant was exhibited under 
the name of M. X Cobbiana, and received an Award of Merit. It was 
recorded as a supposed natural hybrid between M. candida and M. 
cuneata. It is evidently a rare plant, and quite intermediate between 
the two species previously mentioned. The following are the references to 
figures and descriptions :—

4. M. x Brnoti was described by Prof. Cogniaux, in 1897, froma plant 
which flowered in the establishment of Mr. A. A. Peeters, St. Gilles, 
Brussels, in November of that year, and which had been sent from M. 
Binot, of Petropolis. The author described it as a plant recalling some 
forms of M. candida, in the pseudobulbs, leaves, and the size and form of 
the flowers; the sepals and petals cinnamon-brown, with the apex, a narrow 
margin, and one or two imperfect transverse bars of pale, greenish yellow; 
_and the lip scarcely shorter than the lateral sepals, broadly obovate, bright 
violet purple, veined with darker lines, not curling like a horn round the 
column as in M. candida, but merely rather concave. The author added :— 
“M. X Binoti principally differs from M. candida in the lip and the column, 
which organs much resemble, on the contrary, those of M. Regnelli, and 
especially those of its variety purpurea. We are disposed to consider it as 
a natural hybrid between those two species.” 
VAR. INTERMEDIA afterwards flowered in the same establishment, and has 
much shorter and broader sepals and petals, almost wholly suffused with 
brown, and the lip much more concave, in fact closely resembling M. 
candida in shape, but wholly purple in colour. 
A plant was exhibited at a meeting of the R.H.S. on September roth 
last, from the collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks,
