266 SHE ORCHID REVIEW. [SEPTEMBER, 1912. 
it will be seen, is about twice as long as the leaves, and produced two flowers, 
which bear a very general resemblance to C. vexillarium in shape. The 
dorsal sepal is nearly orbicular, very undulate, and somewhat reflexed at 
the sides, and measures two inches across, its colour being white, slightly 
fushed with light purple at the sides, and veined with a rather darker tint, 
the veins passing into yellowish green at the base, while the margin is 
closely ciliate with minute white hairs. The petals are closely veined with 
yellowish green, and bear a number of minute blackish purple dots, while 
the margin is undulate, flushed with purple; and ciliate with long blackish 
hairs. The lip is suffused with purple brown in front, and the staminode is 
broadly rounded, with three prominent teeth in front, and strongly 
reticulated with green. The flowers will probably improve in size when the 
seedling becomes stronger. C. superciliare isa hybrid between C. barbatum 
and C. superbiens, both of which have been crossed with C. Fairrieanum, 
yielding respectively C. vexillarium and C. Edwardii, and the present hybrid 
may be described as fairly intermediate between the two latter. 
YELLOW VARIETIES OF LAZSLIA TENEBROSA. 
Two beautiful yellow varieties of Lelia tenebrosa have been sent from the 
collection of A. Warburton, Esq., Vine House, Haslingden (gr. Mr. 
Dalgleish), namely the Walton Grange variety and Victor Warburton, to 
show how very distinct they are. Mr. Warburton remarks that they were 
shown in London some years ago and were reported as both the same 
variety, which is certainly not the case. Now that he has succeeded in 
getting them in bloom together he has had them painted, and has sent a 
flower of each that their difference may be recorded. 
THE WALTON GRANGE VAR. appeared nearly twenty years ago, in the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, and received a 
First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. on August 8th, 1893, when its 
characters were recorded (O.R., i. pp- 268, 287). The flower now sent by 
Mr. Warburton has the sepals and petals bright canary yellow, the petals 
measuring 4 inches long by 1} inches broad, and rather reflexed at the 
margins, and the lip 33 inches long, with a white base and apex, and the 
throat dark purple, with some purple veining which extends almost to the 
white margin. The flower is from an authentic plant, and agrees well with 
others that we have previously seen. 
Var. VICTOR WARBURTON appeared in the collection of A. Warburton, 
Esq., Vine House, Haslingden, about four years later, and received a First- 
class Certificate from the Manchester and North of England Orchid Society 
on July ist, 1897 (O.R., v. p. 252). It also received an Award of Merit from 
the R.H.S. on June 27th, 1899 (O.R., vii. p. 250). The flower now sent has 
clear apricot-yellow sepals and petals, the latter measuring 34 inches long
