ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A FLOWER ofa seedling Lzliocattleya is sent from the collection of W. R. 
St. Quintin, Esq., Rillington, Yorks, by Mr. F. C. Puddle, who records the 
parentage as C. gigas imperialis xX L. Perrinii. It is a form of the 
beautiful L.-c. Rothschildiz (Orchid Stud-Book, p. 114) originally raised by 
Messrs. Veitch, and flowered in 1895. It has rosy lilac sepals and petals, 
and the front of the lip dark purple with a white throat. 
A flower of the brilliantly-coloured Cattleya x lucida is sent from the 
collection of E. Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmsiow. It is a seedling 
from C. Bowringiana and C. Schilleriana, now bearing a three-flowered 
spike. The flowers are deep shining purple, with a pale throat to the 
distinctly three-lobed lip, and the petals are slightly undulate. 
A flower of Paphiopedilum x Mrs. G. Miller is sent by Mr. C. Robert- 
son, Westwood, Bothwell, Lanarkshire, who raised it from P. xX Actzeus 
splendens ? and P. X aureum Hyeanum ¢. The flower is of good shape, 
and the colour light green, with numerous minute dusky dots on the 
dorsal sepal, which is margined with white, while the petals have a 
narrow brown line down the middle, and many minute dusky dots on 
the basal part. An analysis of parentage shows that the three species 
P. insigne, P. Spicerianum, and P. villosum are concerned in its ancestry. 
Paphiopedilum X Katherine Furze is a handsome hybrid sent from the 
collection of Mrs. Ross, Florence, Italy. It isa hybrid from P. x Sallieri 
crossed with a species of the tesselated leaved group, but which is 
uncertain. The leaves are handsomely marbled, somewhat after the 
fashion of P. X Harrisianum, and the scape is tall, while the flower is good 
inshape, colour and markings. The dorsal sepal is white, closely lined 
with light purple-brown, and spotted at the base, while the lip and petals 
are coppery brown, the latter having many dark brown spots on the lower 
half. It is named after the daughter of J. A. Symonds, Esq., widow of the 
well-known artist, Charles Furze. 
A flower of another seedling from Cattleya bicolor x Leliocattleya La 
France, noted on page 374 of our last volume, is sent from the collection of 
W.R. St. Quintin, Esq., and Mr. Puddle remarks that the influence of the 
second parent is now clearly shown. In this case the colour of Lelia 
tenebrosa is apparent in the lip. It is proposed to call the hybrid Lzelio- 
cattleya Garnet. It will be interesting to see if any seedling shows the 
character of Cattleya bicolor. A spike of Epidendrum fragrans is also
