ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A FLOWER of the remarkable Odontoglossum crispum xanthotes War- 
burtonz, to which a First-class Certificate and a Gold Medal were given at 
. the meeting of the Manchester Orchid Society held on February 17th last, 
is sent from the collection of A. Warburton, Esq., Vine House, Haslingden, 
by Mr. Dalgleish. The petals are 14 inches across, and have an expanse of 
4 inches, while the sepals are also very broad, giving the flower an excellent 
shape. The colour is pure white, with a large yellow disc to the lip, and 
two orange blotches in front. The column wings also bear several orange- 
coloured spots. There is not a trace of brown anywhere. It isan altogether 
exceptional variety. 
A fine flower, believed to be a hybrid from Paphiopedilum insigne x 
Mastersianum, is sent from the collection of L. C. R. Thring, Esq., 
Dunstable. It has much of the general shape and character of the latter, 
with broad, nearly horizontal petals, which are brown, with many dark 
spots and a very broad white margin. It is a bold and very striking hybrid, — 
and is a form of P. X albanense (Orchid Stud-Book, p. 130). 
Cattleya Trianz var. Lottie Miiller is a remarkable variety from the 
collection of G. H. Miiller, Esq., Huis Sandhage, Haag, Holland, which we 
have seen through the kindness of M. Duchesne Lanthoine, of Watermael, 
Brussels. The sepals and petals have a peculiar slaty-blue shade, and the 
front lobe and sides of the lip are purple-blue, with a white throat. The 
absence of the usual yellow disc is remarkable. The plant is a very strong 
one, with four large old bulbs, but the first one produced at home is only 
half as large, and bears two leaves and one tiny flower, with very broad 
segments. It promises to develop into a very fine thing. 
A pretty seedling form of Odontoglossum crispum is sent from the 
collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham (gr. Mr. Black). It is 
said to be from the same batch as the one figured at page 337 of our 
thirteenth volume, together with its two parents, O. c. Bonnyanum and 
another spotted form. This flower has the round shape of the former, but 
there is a cluster of spots about the middle of each segment, in which 
respect it is most like the last mentioned parent. 
A handsome Leliocattleya is sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., 
Chamonix, Teignmouth, which was purchased several years ago from Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co., as a seedling from L.-c. elegans X C. Dowiana aurea. 
It is well known that L.-c. elegans and L. xX Schilleriana have often been 
confused, and we believe that the flower sent was derived from the latter, 
which it very closely resembles, except in having rosy lilac sepals and 
petals. We take it to be a form of L.-c. Fournier, for we believe that the 
same confusion arose in the case of this hybrid, though it was not detected
