May, 1910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 155 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
Five handsome hybrids are sent from the collection of J. McCartney, Esq., 
Hey House, Bolton, by Mr. Holmes. Leeliocattleya Dreadnought was 
derived from L.-c. Henry Greenwood x C. Mossiz, and may be described 
as a glorified C. Mossiz with brighter colouring. It has broad rosy lilac 
sepals, rose-purple petals, and the front lobe of the lip is purple-crimson, 
while the side lobes are primrose, with some purple and yellow veining in 
the throat. It received a First-class Certificate anda Silver Medal from the 
Manchester Orchid Society on March 3rd last. L.-c. callistoglossa var. W. 
Holmes has rosy lilac sepals and petals, and a rich purple-crimson lip, with 
a sharply defined lilac throat, which is closely veined with yellow and 
purple. The others are three fine varieties of Cattleya Triane. One 
called Prince Henry is of good shape, and has rosy lilac sepals and petals, 
and the lip deep purple with a rich orange throat. Castle Hill var. has lilac 
sepals and petals, and the front lobe of the lip is purple, with some white 
and yellow in the throat. The variety albo-violacea’ has white sepals and 
petals, and a bluish purple blotch on the lip in front of the orange throat. 
It isa well shaped and very beautiful flower. 
A handsome Odontoglossum obtained from O. x Adriane X O. X 
armainvillierense is sent from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards 
Heath. It has very broad, short, light yellow sepals and petals, the latter 
very regularly blotched with brownish red, and the lip bears a darker 
blotch in front of the bright yellow crest. The flower is very round and 
full, and the influence of all the original species, O. crispum, Pescatorei, and 
Hunnewellianum can be clearly traced. A flower of a charming little 
Odontioda obtained from Odontoglossum x amabile crossed with Odontioda 
heatonensis, is also sent. It has light yellow sepals and petals, very 
copiously and regularly blotched with rosy brown, while the nearly 
triangular acuminate lip is more heavily marked with orange-brown. The 
crest consists of about six radiating teeth and the column wings are cirrhate. 
Several handsome Odontoglossums are sent from the collection of H. S. 
Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney, by Mr. Day. O. x Ceres Goodson’s 
var. (Rolfez x Rossii majus), which received an Award of Merit from the 
R.H.S. on April 5th, is most like the latter in shape and colouring, the 
petals being very heavily blotched with deep brown, while the lip is white, 
broad, and entire, with the crest deep yellow and closely dotted with red- 
brown. One called O. x Ernestii is very much like a large and heavily 
blotched O. crispum, and the blotches are very large, regular, and deep 
chestnut-red incolour. O. x loochristiense crossed with a well-blotched O. 
crispum has most of the shape of the former, but a bright yellow ground 
colour. The sepals are very heavily blotched with brown, while the petals
