VuYLSTEKEARA Hyeana.—A striking hybrid derived from Odontonia 
Lairessex and Cochlioda Noetzliana was exhibited by M. Jules Hye de 
Crom at the Royal International Horticultural Exhibition, and being derived 
from Cochlioda, Miltonia, and Odontoglossum, must be referred to the 
hybrid genus Vuylstekeara (see page 60 of our last volume). The plant 
bore a branched panicle of flowers, most like those of the Odontonia parent, 
but the lip smaller and more like that of the Cochlioda in shape. The 
flowers are blotched with salmon-red, on a paler ground, the disc of the lip 
yellow, and the apex white, with a transverse white line behind the 
apex. We are informed that the original Vuylstekeara insignis was based 
on an erroneous record, the parents being Miltonia vexillaria and 
Cochlioda Neetzliana, hence the plant becomes a synonym of Miltonioda 
Harwoodii. :
