Chelsea. A batch of seedlings was obtained by crossing O. crispum 
Alphonso with pollen of O.c. Franz Masereel, and the six forms here figured 
are the most distinct that were in flower together last May, and the senders 
remark that there were no further variations of a noticeable kind besides 
those photographed. QO. crispum Franz Masereel is a well-known and very 
handsome form, whose portrait is here reproduced (fig. 31), and O. c.

seedlings show a remarkable range of variation, but some of the detail is 
lost Owing to the great amount of reduction in the photograph. The

seedling in the upper left hand corner shows a single blotch on each of the 
sepals and petals, forming a central zone, and many small spots on the lip. 
To the right of it is one having a number of round spots on each segment, 
varying from two to five, and irregularly arranged. In the upper right 
hand corner is a form in which the sepals and petals of three of the five 
flowers are unspotted, while the other two have a minute spot on one of 
the sepals. The lip of this form bears from one to five minute spots. The 
lower left hand figure shows a form in which the blotches are large and 
irregular, covering about half the area of the segments, while the next to 
the right has the blotches rather more confluent, leaving a broad white 
margin to the sepals and petals. Inthe lower right hand form the spots on 
the sepals and petals are rather more broken .up than in No. 1, while those 
on the lip are larger and more confluent. In this form we seem to trace a
