May, 1913,] THE QRCHID REVIEW. 167 
ONcIDIODA CooKson1#.—The Orchid Committee referred the plant 
Oncidioda X Cooksoniz to this Committee. It had been exhibited by 
Messrs. Charlesworth. The cross is rather a curious one between 
Cochlioda Neetzliana ? and Oncidium macranthum ¢, and the hybrid 
has something of the long raceme of the pollen parent, while the flowers 
are larger than the seed parent and somewhat different in colour. It was 
first raised by Mr. Cookson. A Botanical Certificate was unanimously 
recommended to the plant. 
March 4th :— 
ODONTOGLOssUM SATURNE.—Mons. H. Graire, of Amiens, showed this 
curious hybrid between O. nebulosum and O. Harryano-crispum. _ It closely 
resembles O. nebulosum in the form of the flowers, which are white, closely 
spotted with light brown and rose. 
OponToniA CyBELE.—Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. showed this cross 
between Odontoglossum cirrhosum and Miltonia candida grandiflora. Mr. 
O’Brien showed illustrations of both the parents, and called attention to the 
fact that the tabular labellum of Miltonia candida did not appear in the 
slightest degree, the broadly ovate-spathulate labellum of the hybrid being 
perfectly flat. The colouring of the petals and sepals (broad bands of 
brown) were from the Miltonia, but the apiculate reflexed tips of the 
segments were as in Odontoglossum cirrhosum. The dark red lines 
characteristic of cirrhosum also appeared at the base of the labellum. A 
Certificate of Appreciation was awarded to Messrs. Charlesworth. 
VARIATION IN SEEDLINGS.—Mr. G. Wilson showed flowers of two 
Orchid hybrids from the same seed pod. They were totally different in 
colour, one being ofa brick red and the other white with a few red spots. 
April 15th: 
OponTiopa Patricta.—Mr. R. A. Rolfe exhibited paintings and flowers 
from five seedlings obtained by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. from Odontioda 
Charlesworthii (Cochlioda Neetzliana x Odontoglossum Harryanum) 
crossed by Odontoglossum Phoebe (O. cirrhosum xX O. crispum), and 
showing a remarkable range of colour variation from the same capsule, 
Two were of a peculiar shade of dark claret red, and another brilliant 
orange brown, these being self-coloured except for a little yellow on the lip. 
A fourth was yellow with large transverse red blotches, and a fifth claret 
purple with a darker mottling. The differences in shape were not great 
except in the lip, the fourth being most like the Odontioda parent and the 
others more deltoid, as in the Odontoglossum. Flowers. of both parents 
were also shown. 
EPIDENDRUM KEWENSE.—Mr. Rolfe also showed a series of paintings 
of E. kewense with its parents. and offspring. The bright yellow E- 
Xanthinum crossed with the deep purple E. evectum gave the salmon-
