Aucusr, Igto.] THE ORCHID REVIEW, 231 
ANGULOA x DUBIA SUPERBA. 
AT the R.H.S. meeting held on June 11th last an interesting hybrid 
. Anguloa was exhibited by Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, under the name 
of A. X dubia superba, its parentage being recorded as A. Clowesii X 
unifiora superba. The flower recalled Mr. Seden’s earlier A..x intermedia 
-(Clowesii X Ruckeri), being honey yellow, densely spotted with light rosy 
red. The cross should have proved the parentage of A. X dubia, Rchb. f. 
(Gard. Chron., 1882, i. p. 764), which appeared in a Colombian importation 
made by Mr. B. S. Williams, and was figured by Mr. Day from the type 
plant (Orch. Draw., xlii. t. 67), but the flower does not agree at all. The 
parentage of the plant exhibited was, we understand, taken from the record 
book kept by Mr. Seden, but he also made the cross A. Clowesii X Ruckeri, 
and as the two seedlings are so much alike it seems probable that both 
came from the same cross, and that the one last mentioned. There is 
every reason to believe that the suggested parentage of A. xX dubia is 
correct, except that we must substitute A. virginalis for A. uniflora now 
that it is discovered that the Colombian plant so long known as A. uniflora 
is not the original Peruvian species of that name (See O-R., xvii. p. 316). 
A. X dubia has flowers most like A. virginalis in shape, but the colour 
lemon yellow, covered on the inside of the sepals and petals with minute 
purple dots, and the lip white with purple blotches inside at the base. A. 
_ X intermedia was afterwards referred to the earlier A. X media, Rchb. f., 
raised by Mr. Bowring from A. Clowesii and A. Ruckeri, and, curiously 
enough, it afterwards appeared as a natural hybrid in the collection of R. 
H. Measures, Esq. (See O.R., 1. p. 40). It would appear that A. x dubia 
superba must be considered as another form of the same. RB. Ac KR;
