216 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JULY, 1910. 
and petals recall an average O. crispum, but are rather more acute, and the 
colour is white, with a purple stain on the sepals, and one or more small 
purple blotches near the base. The petals are pure white, except in one 
case, where there is a single small purple spot. The lip is oblong, rather 
narrow, and purple, with a broad crisped white margin, somewhat recalling 
O. triumphans in shape, though the rounded side lobes with purple basal 
markings recall O. Pescatorei. The wings are rather broad, minutely 
denticulate, and with some brown markings, these again recalling the two 
species last mentioned. We think the record is correct, and hope the plant 
will be taken care of. It would be interesting to know where other 
seedlings from the same batch are, and what they are like. It is curious to 
reflect that a cross between O. crispum and O. excellens might yield a 
similar result. At all events, an analysis of parentage in each case would 
show O. crispum 4, O. Pescatorei and O. triumphans } each. 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS FROM WALTON GRANGE. 
FLowers of a beautiful series of seedling Odontoglossums are sent from the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, by Mr. Stevens, 
who remarks that all were raised in the collection. First may be mentioned 
a fine hybrid from O. triumphans x luteopurpureum, which much resembles 
the former in general character. The sepals and petals, however, are moré 
acuminate, and the lip is considerably enlarged and nearly circular. The 
colour is yellow, blotched with light brown, and with a large brown blotch 
on the lip. The column wings and crest also show some of the luteo- 
purpureum influence. Three seedlings of O. crispum x Vuylstekez are 
remarkably diverse. One is white with large red-brown blotches on the 
sepals and lip, but only a few small round spots on the petals. Another has 
a rose-purple ground with very large zone-like purple-red blotches on all the 
segments, while a third has a clear yellow ground colour, and dark brown 
markings. The two latter are of excellent shape, and the markings are 
closely similar except in colour. Two seedlings from O. triumphans X 
Adrian are also remarkably diverse. One is like a good bright yellow 
triumphans with shorter sepals and petals, on which occur numerous round 
brown spots, while the other is rather smaller, and has heavy dark brown 
Hunnewellianum-like blotches, and a crisped margin to the lip which recalls 
the same species. These are forms of O. x Babette. O. x Harryano- 
crispum Regina X Vuylstekeze is a large and striking flower of a nearly 
uniform red-purple, but with obscure paler streaks representing the remains 
of a yellow ground colour, while the triumphans-like lip has a pale whitish 
margin. Two seedlings from O. Harryano-crispum X crispum Stevensii 
have white ground colour, regularly blotched with red-brown, and must be 
referred to O. X Lambeauianum, one being a very promising flower. O.
