134 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1913. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A PRETTY seedling of very good shape is sent from the collection of O. O. 
Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers. The colour is yellow 
with a brown suffusion, and there is a marked resemblance to C. villosum 
and C. Leeanum in shape. We should have considered it as a form of C. 
aureum, but it is suggested that it may have come from C. Sallieri 
Hyeanum X cenanthum, from which several somewhat similar forms are said 
to have flowered. That would make it a form of C. triumphans, but there is 
none of the rich colouring of C. cenanthum about the flower. It is a form 
to be taken care of. A very beautiful form of Odontoglossum triumphans 
is also sent, having clear golden yellow sepals and lip, and one large warm 
brown blotch on the centre of each sepal. The absence of even a speck of 
brown from the petals and lip give it a very striking appearance. It is 
quite typical in shape, and keeps constant, for a notice appeared at page 
126 of our nineteenth volume. It may be called O. triumphans var. 
Wrigleyi. 
A flower of the very handsome Leliocattleya Sunset Southfield var. 
(L. Jongheana Cabralii x C. Percivaliana Westfield var.) is sent from the 
collection of W. Waters Butler, Esq., Southfield, Edgbaston. The flower 
is bright rosy mauve in colour, with the spreading shape of the former, and 
measures six inches from tip to tip of the petals, which latter are two inches 
broad. The lip is three-lobed, and much crisped, the front lobe being rosy 
mauve with a rich dark brown veined blotch, while the disc and interior of 
the side lobes are orange-coloured, with some brown down the centre and 
five obtuse keels. The two parents have formed a particularly happy 
combination, and the plant should develop into a very fine thing. 
DENDROBIUM NOBILE COOKSONIANUM.—A fine plant of this handsome 
variety is now flowering in the collection of T. Daws, Esq., Ewhurst, 
producing an aggregate of thirty-seven blossoms, which are borne on 
exceptionally long stems. The peculiar maroon blotches borne on the 
petals of this Orchid render it very striking. The variety originally appeared 
as a sport in the collection of Mr. Theodore Lange, Heathfield House, 
Gateshead, whence it passed into that of Norman C. Cookson, Esq., but 
now has become fairly plentiful, thanks to the ease with which Dendrobiums 
can be propagated, and is one of the most delightful Orchids for an 
Amateur’s mixed house. Several flowers of this plant have been cross- 
fertilised with a view to ascertaining whether it can be raised true from 
seed, as was the case with D. nobile virginale. In the same collection are 
also flowering, amongst other things, a plant of Oncidium maculatum and 
Odontoglossum Vuylstekez, which have been intercrossed. C, Ac Hy:
