100 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [Marcu, 1913. 
the original grandparents, and the lip is somewhat three-lobed, and the 
colour purple, with a yellowish throat and some narrow purple lines. All 
these three were raised by Dr. Goldschmidt. The fourth is a brilliant 
Sophrocatlelia of unknown parentage, which we fail to identify. The 
shape of the flower indicates Lelia pumila very clearly, and we can only 
suggest that it mav be a form of S.-c.-l. pumeximia. The sepals and petals 
are broad, violet purple in colour, the lip entire, very undulate, much 
darker than the petals, and the column white. It is a brilliant little flower, 
and should be taken care of. 
Three interesting Cypripediums are sent by Mr. Wm. Brooks, White- 
cross Nurseries, Weston-super-Mare. One is a seedling from C. villosum 
and C. exul, and is fairly intermediate between the two, with a well-blotched 
dorsal sepal. It is known as C. villexul. One from C. insigne and C. 
Germinyanum is a form of C. Chouvettii (Orchid Stud-Book, p. 144), and 
has a much spotted dorsal sepal and some purple at the apex of the petals. 
The third is a richly-coloured seedling of unknown parentage, though we 
believe it to be a form of C. aureum, but deeper in colour than the original 
form. It has more yellow on the dorsal sepal, while the petals, lip and 
staminode are orange buff with a little warm brown shading. There are 
many very minute brown dots at the base of the dorsal sepal and petals. 
LIPARIS LACERATA. 
Tuis brilliantly-coloured Liparis has just flowered in cultivation, a plant 
which was imported from Borneo having flowered in the collection of the 
Hon. N. C. Rothschild, Ashton Wold, Oundle. An inflorescence has been 
sent to Kew. The species was originally met with on the Lamao River, 
Borneo, by Burbidge, and was described from a drawing made by him 
(Ridl. in Journ. Linn. Soc., xxii. p. 284). It was afterwards collected in 
several localities in the Malay Peninsula, Perak, the Larut Hiils, Gunong 
Raye, and the Lankawi Islands, while a specimen collected in Tenasserim 
by Griffith has proved identical. It is allied to L. latifolia, Lindl., and 
bears a graceful arching raceme of six to eight inches long, and very 
numerous flowers, with buff coloured sepals and petals, and a bright red, 
pandurate lip, which is strongly denticulate in front. It is one of the most 
attractive species in the genus. R.A. R. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
CYPRIPEDIUM BROADOAKSIENSIS.—This very charming hybrid is sent from 
the collection of F. Wrigley, Esq., Broadoaks, Bury, by Mr. W. 
Mickleraith, who states that it was derived from C. Hitchinsie x C. 
Niobe. It is thus a combination of the four handsome green-leaved 
species, C. insigne, Charlesworthii, Spicerianum and Fairrieanum, 1 nequal
