APRIL, 1913.] THE. ORCHID REVIEW. 135 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
L#LIOCATTLEYA SyYRINX.—Raised in the collection of H. T. Pitt, Esq., 
Rosslyn, Stamford Hill, it is said from L.-c. Phoebe x Ballii, though there 
is no trace of the orange colour of Lelia cinnabarina, which should have 
come through both parents. It is a seedling flowering for the first time, 
and the flower is rather small at present, and the colour pink, with an 
orange yellow throat to the lip. 
L&LIOCATTLEYA PROMEN#&A.—Raised in the same collection as the 
preceding, from a hybrid between L.-c. Gottoiana and Lelia Cowanii x 
Cattleya Frederickia. The flower is light rose-purple, with a very un- 
dulate lip. It is also a first flower from a small plant, and should improve 
much when the plant becomes strong.
