210 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JuLy, 1910. 
June, 1909. The hybrids between Lelia Jongheana and the Cattleyas of 
the labiata group are still very few in number, but promise to be an excep- 
tionally beautiful series. 
OponTontIA LAMBEAUIANA.—A striking hybrid raised by MM. Peeters 
& fils, Brussels, from Miltonia Warscewiczii and Odontoglossum xX Lam- 
beauianum. It is a small plant, three years old, now flowering for the 
first time, from the second bulb, the inflorescence carrying six flowers. It 
may be compared with the original Odontonia Lairessez (O.R., Xiii. p. 217, 
fig. 47), but has more elongated segments, and the marking arranged more 
in transverse bars, as in the Odontoglossum parent, while the markings on 
the lip are more broken up into spots. The flowers measure 2} inches 
across, and the sepals and petals are oblong-lanceolate in shape, barred and 
spotted with reddish purple on a whitish ground, which is slightly tinged 
with rosy lilac. The lip is broadly quadrate, somewhat lobed at the apex, 
an inch long by over j-inch broad, regularly blotched with brownish purple 
except on the upper fourth, and the crest bright yellow. The column 
wings are short, rounded, and neatly crenulate. It promises to develop 
into a very handsome thing when the plant becomes strong. 
ODONTIODA NEVENSE.—A brilliantly-coloured hybrid raised in the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens, 
from Odontoglossum nevadense crossed with the pollen of Cochlioda 
Neetzliana, was exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting held on June a2tst last. 
Spikes from two plants have kindly been sent by Mr. Stevens, bearing nine 
and ten flowers respectively, and showing quite distinct shades of colour. 
The flowers are larger than those of the Cochlioda parent, the largest being 
two inches in expanse, and the shape of the sepals and petals is more 
lanceolate, as in the seed bearer. The lip is adnate to the column at the 
base, then free and gradually diverging, the limb being about as long as the 
sepals, and four-lobed, with the front lobes markedly crisped and denticulate. 
In one form the sepals and petals are almost uniformly deep reddish crimson, 
with an obscure trace of yellow at the base and apex, while the lip is orange- 
red, particularly on the side lobes. In the other the sepals and petals are 
distinctly lighter in colour, and may be described as orange-red, and about 
the same shade as the lip. The crest consists of four oblong, bright yellow 
calli, and the column is somewhat curved, half an inch long, and rose-purple 
at the apex, the wings being short, broad and truncate. It isa particularly 
bright and handsome hybrid. 
L#&LIOCATTLEYA ALwyN.—A pretty little hybrid from the collection of 
A. Harrison, Esq., Lyndhurst, St. Andrew’s, Watford, raised from Lelia 
pumila prestans x Cattleya x Fabia, and most like the former in general 
character. The flower is at present over four inches across, and has broad 
sepals and petals, the latter being ovate in shape, over 14 inches across, and
