FEBRUARY, -1912.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 63 
A flower of the pretty little Leeliocattleya Amelia, in which the 
characters of Lelia cinnabarina and Cattleya intermedia are well combined, 
is sent from the collection of Henry R. Sterrett, Esq., Houslow. It is 
from a seedling plant, and is not yet fully developed. Mr. Sterrett remarks 
that he has now a plant of Cypripedium tonsum in flower bearing a twin- 
flowered scape, and the dorsal sepal is flushed with rose, a somewhat 
unusual character. 
A flower of a fine hybrid Cypripedium is sent by Messrs. James Veitch 
& Sons, Langley, Slough, which has been produced by a small plant 
derived from C. Leeanum Clinkaberryanum X Arthurianum. It is fairly 
intermediate in general character, but on the whole most resembles the 
Leeanum parent in shape. The dorsal sepal is large, very densely dotted 
with brown on a green ground, and the margin white, while the base of the 
broad, undulate petals is also much spotted. It should develop into a fine 
thing. There are two hybrids from C. Leeanum and Arthurianum, Pia 
C. Mary Lee, which received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. in 
November, 1893, and C. Jamesonianum, which flowered in 1896. 
Another fine flower. is sent from the collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., 
Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers, who remarks that it was derived from 
Cypripedium Sallieri virens (a seedling raised in the collection) and C. 
Euryades, Low’s var. It has taken much of the C. villosum shape, and 
has a bright emerald green dorsal sepal, margined with white, and bearing 
some large brown blotches on the disc, while the base of the petals is also 
spotted, and the lip bright brown.
