126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, r9T0. 
Mr. Clark mentions two or three other interesting L. Jongheana hybrids 
which he hopes to flower shortly. He also adds that the two flowers of 
Leliocattleya Ursula mentioned at page 94, though so distinct, were off the 
same inflorescence. 
Flowers of five seedling Dendrobiums, now flowering for the first time, 
are sent from the collection of James Geddes, Esq., of Ascot. They were 
obtained from a friend who has given up Orchid growing and who had 
unfortunately lost their parentage. If all are from the same cross—and we 
are not clear on this point—we should suggest D. x Ainsworthii and 
D. nobile, for two of the flowers are quite suggestive of D. x Rubens, that 
is to say very near but not quite true D. nobile, a third is like a large, 
richly-coloured D. nobile, with a very long trumpet-shaped lip, a fourth is 
almost D. x Ainsworthii in shape and colour, and the fifth has a distinct 
flush of light yellow in the flower, with almost the nobile shape, but a 
reduced magenta-purple disc. The last-mentioned flower shows an 
approach to D. X Wiganiz rather than to D. aureum, hence a suspicion 
that all may not be from the same cross. A large and richly-coloured 
flower, which we take to be D. x Rubens grandiflorum is also enclosed. 
This was obtained under another name, which proves erroneous. 
A flower of the handsome Cymbidium x Lowgrinum, Pitt’s var., that 
received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. on March 8th last, is sent from 
the collection of H. T. Pitt, Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill. It is much 
darker than the original form, having red-brown sepals and petals, and 
some dark blotches on the lip. A flower with nearly green sepals and 
petals, that came out of the same seed pod, is also enclosed. Inflorescences 
of the rose-coloured Dendrobium Kingianum and of the plant known as 
D. Kingianum album are also sent. This latter is from the type plant 
figured in the Orchid Album (vii. t. 332), and is now known to bea white 
form of D. X delicatulum, Bailey, a natural hybrid between D. Kingianum 
and D. speciosum, whose history was given at page 88 of our sixteenth 
volume. 
A flower of Lzliocattleya stamfordiensis, a small seedling flowering for 
the first time, was afterwards sent. Mr. Thurgood remarks :—‘* We had an 
unnamed seedling from Lelia tenebrosa Xx cinnabrosa, and this was 
crossed with the pollen of Leliocattleya Ingramii, Rosslyn var., and the 
flower sent is the result. When the plant becomes strong the flower, I 
think, will be good.” It is certainly very promising, as the shape is good, 
and the sepals and petals rose-purple, with a rich claret-purple lip. The 
influence of the pollen parent is very obvious, but there is no trace of the 
original yellow of L. cinnabarina. 
A flower from Bifrenaria Harrison var. pubigera is sent from the 
_ collection of P. C. P. Lupton, Esq., Southminster, Essex. It differs from
