94 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MarcuH, 1910. 
when the Orchid Stud-Book was compiled. A flower of L.-c. Gamma (L. 
Jongheana xX L.-c. Ernestii) is most like L. Jongheana in shape, but with 
light buff sepals and petals, and a rather darker yellow lip edged with 
pink. Two flowers of L.-c. Ursula (L. crispa X L.-c. Leeana), described 
at page 157 of our fifteenth volume, are also sent, one having a much 
crisped lip and the other more like Cattleya Loddigesii in shape. 
A flower and leaf of a richly coloured seedling Paphiopedilum is sent 
from the collection of M. G. Poupardin, Ferriers en Brie, Seine et Marne, 
France. P. bellatulum was one parent, but the other is doubtful. We 
think it is a form of P. x Lawrebel, for the handsomely marbled foliage is 
altogether suggestive of P. Lawrenceanum. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
SOPHROCATTLEYA ROUPELLIANA.—A pretty hybrid raised in the collection 
of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., Streatham Hill, from Sophronitis grandiflora Xx 
Cattleya X F. W. Wigan. The flower at present has an expanse of four 
inches, and the segments are fairly intermediate in shape, while the colour may 
be described as dark rose-purple. The lip is 14 inches long and the convex, 
recurved front lobe is deep purple in colour, and the disc and side lobes deep 
yellow, the latter with radiating deep purple lines and margin. C. x F. 
W. Wigan is a hybrid from C. Schilleriana x Dowiana. 
BRASSOCATTLEYA X WELLESLEYI.—A very beautiful hybrid from the 
collection of Francis Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, Woking (gr. Mr. Hopkins), 
raised from Cattleya Mossiz Wageneri X Brassavola glauca. It received an 
Award of Merit from the R.H.S. on February 8th under the name of 
Brassocattleya Wellesley, but as that name is already appropriated for 
the hybrid between C. Lueddemanniana and B. Digbyana the name is 
changed as above. It isa very beautiful thing, most like a greatly enlarged 
edition of B. glauca, with much broader petals, and the colour white, with 
a yellow blotch in the throat. Its parentage can be very clearly traced. 
ODONTIODA CUPREA.—An interesting Odontioda was exhibited by 
Messrs. Sander & Sons at the R.H.S. meeting held on February 22nd last, 
of which the inflorescence has been kindly sent. It was derived from 
Cochlioda Neetzliana and Odontoglossum cristatum, and, as usual, shows 
most of the character of the Cochlioda parent, but the flowers are larger, 
and the sepals and petals have rather more of the Odontoglossum shape. 
The lip is very strongly reflexed, and its claw is half adnate to the column. 
The colour may be described as deep copper red, and the limb of the lip 
rather darker, with a prominent yellow crest. The limb is oblong in front 
and broadly rounded behind. The column wings are large, square, and 
nearly entire, these and the apex of the column being white.
