114 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1913- 
colour and in the amount of blotching. Three forms of O. Maritana 
(sceptrum X Rolfez) were also very different, one being light yellow with 
‘small dark blotches, one yellow with heavy brown blotches, and the third 
mostly brown with a few yellow markings. They came out of the same 
capsule. An extreme case was seen in two seedlings from O. Queen 
Alexandra x O. crispum Mossiz, where one seedling had light yellow 
flowers with many red-brown blotches, and the other dark maroon-brown 
sepals and petals, with a few whitish markings, and the base of the lip 
heavily blotched with brown. <A few forms of O. Fascinator, derived from 
O. Adriane X O. crispum Mossiz, were very interesting, one having large 
white flowers very regularly blotched with red-brown, somewhat recalling 
O. Adriane grandiflorum (O.R., xiii. p. 185, fig. 40), which we suspect is a 
wild form of O. Fascinator. This plant was flowering from the first-made 
bulb, and was producing two spikes, though under three years old from the 
date of sowing the seed. The other had large blotches and would have 
passed as a blotched crispum. OO. exultans (excellens xX crispum Mossiz) 
had very round yellow flowers, well-blotched with red-brown. O. eximium 
was producing a spike of five heavily-blotched: flowers, and a seedling 
derived from a good O. crispum crossed with O. crispum Mossie, called 
O. c. Kenchii, had a good round shape and very heavy purple blotching- 
The number of heavily blotched seedlings in flower was remarkable, and 
the almost entire absence of yellow was curious. Mr. Moss has only 
bloomed during the present season one white unspotted seedling among 
O. c. Mossiz crosses. 
Some other interesting things were in bloom. Miltonia Harwoodii 
Moss’s variety (M. vexillaria x C. Noetzliana) has fine magenta-rose 
flowers, most like the Miltonia in shape. It is a young seedling flowering 
for the first time, and a few days earlier had received an Award of Merit 
from the R.H.S. Odontioda Mossiz (C. Noetzliana X O. maculatum) is a 
very distinct hybrid which also received an A.M. at the same meeting. It 
has bright rose-red sepals and petals and a somewhat three-lobed lip, 
reddish buff in colour. A plant of O. Charlesworthii bore two racemes of 
intense crimson flowers. There were two very diverse forms of O. 
Bradshawiz from the same capsule, one bearing sixteen scarlet flowers, and 
the other salmon-buff, as if the red had been bleached out. This was 
called var. Prince of Orange. The parents were C. Neetzliana and a fine 
blotched crispum. There was also a very fine scarlet Odontioda 
Bradshawiz, very near the desired ‘‘ scarlet crispum,” in bloom, bearing 
also a ripening capsule as the result of crossing with O. c. Mossie. We 
noted also Lelia Jongheana and a good plant of Sophronitis grandiflora 
in bloom. Among plants showing for flower we noted a fine specimen of 
Odontoglossum nevium with fifteen spikes, and O. Wilckeanum X
