THE ORCHID REVIEW. 327 
It is a natural hybrid between C. granulosa and C. labiata, and most 
resembles the former in shape—especially in the very deeply trilobed lip— 
but the latter in colour. The sepals and petals are light rose-purple, and 
the front lobe of the lip rich purple-crimson. A fine flower of the handsome 
Cattleya X Parthenia Prince of Wales (C. x fimbriata @ xX C. Mossiz ¢) 
is also sent. The flower is excellent in shape, and the colour white, with 
the front lobe of the lip suffused and veined with bright rose-purple. The 
lip is beautifully crisped right round to where the side lobes meet, and a 
tinge of pink also extends round the margin to the same point. 
A leaf and flower of Paphiopedilum x Allanianum is sent by Mr. Bache, 
gardener to A. H. Bencke, Esq., of West Derby, Liverpool. It was_pur- 
chased in 1895, from Messrs. John Cowan & Co., asa seedling from P. Spicer- 
ianum and P. Curtisii, when quite a small plant with only two pairs of leaves, 
but Mr. Bache says that now it is a good specimen in aneight nch pot, with 
eleven leads. Last year it had seven leads, four of which made double 
breaks, and this season all have flowered, and all have twin-flowered scapes, 
like the one sent. It is saidto be a most robust grower, with a compact 
habit, and very attractive when in flower. The leaf sent is broad, rather 
obscurely tesselated, and the flower quite intermediate ia character. 
Flowers of the beautiful Cattleya x Germania (C. granulosa Schofield- 
iana X Hardyana) are sent from the collection of Sir James Miller, 
Bart., Manderston, Duns, N.B. , by Mr. Hamilton. It most resembles the 
former in shape, but the sepals and petals and side lobes of the lip are 
mauve-pink in colour, while the front lobe bears numerous radiating 
veins of darker colour. The handsome Lelia x Iona {L. tenebrosa X 
Dayana) is also sent. It is most like a considerably enlarged edition of the 
latter, with light purple sepals and petals, and the greater part of the lip 
very dark blackish purple with the characteristic raised keels of L. Dayana, 
though considerably reduced in size. Both were raised by Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co. 
A fine flower of the handsome Paphiopedilum x triumphans is sent 
from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. 
Rogers. It is a hybrid from P.- X nitens Sallieri and P. xX cenanthum 
superbum, and the combination has proved an extremely fortunate one, 
having combined most of the size and shape of the former with the rich 
colours of the latter. It is a hybrid of the third generation, and an 
analysis of its parentage shows it to be composed of P. insigne, one-half, 
P. villosum, three-eights, and P. barbatum, one-eighth. The petals and lip 
are very rich, shining purple-brown, while the lip is heavily spotted with a 
darker colour, and suffused with rose near the white margin.
