SEPTEMBER, IQI0.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 285 
and in 1887 we find a plant in the collection of Major Lendy, at Sunbury, 
which came out of an importation of C. Mendelii made by Messrs. James 
Veitch & Sons (G.C., 1887, i. p. 770). The plant has been lost sight of 
, because the albino of C. Mendelii is now called by other names. 
ain ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A FINE flower of what we believe to be a form of Cattleya x weedoniensis 
is sent by M. J. Ginot, St. Etienne, France. It was raised by him as a 
seedling from Cattleya granulosa Schofieldiana, but he has a little doubt 
whether the pollen parent was C. Mendelii Bluntii or a form of C. Mossi. 
The very deeply three-lobed lip with long angular side lobes is conclusive 
as to C. granulosa, and we should say that the other parent was a form of 
C. Mendelii. The greatly enlarged flower, broad petals, and almost uniform 
delicate pink colour of the sepals and petals, as well as the coloration of the 
lip, are just as might have been expected. The broadly obcordate front 
lobe is bright rose-purple, the tips of the side lobes blush pink, and the disc 
and inside of the side lobes light yellow. It is very attractive, and may be 
called C. x weedoniensis var. Marinette, in accordance with M. Ginot’s 
suggestion. An Odontoglossum sent with it we believe to be a rather smal 
form of O. Insleayi. 
A very fine flower of Lzliocattleya callistoglossa is sent from the collec 
tion of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill, Bishops Waltham, by Mr. Kench, 
‘who gives its parentage as Cattleya gigas Sanderiana X Lelia purpurata. 
-It has an expanse of g# inches across the petals, and is delicate blush pink, 
with the front of the lip rich purple-crimson, 3 inches broad, and the throat 
with two large clear yellow eyes. 
s. A-fine flower of a seedling Cattleya is sent from the collection of G. 
Hamilton-Smith, Esq., Finchley, by Mr. Coningsby, who remarks that it 
was purchased as a small seedling at Protheroe and Morris’ Sale Rooms in 
1908, with the parentage, C. Schofieldiana X aurea, but now that it has 
flowered he believes that C. Warscewiczii (gigas) was the pollen parent. It 
has always seemed too strong a grower for an aurea seedling, and hoth 
the habit and the two yellow eyes on the lip suggest C. Warscewiczii. 
-[he bulb that has flowered is 1o inches long, rather stouter than in the 
seed parent, and has two leaves, 7 inches long by 2% inches broad. We 
-agtee with the suggestion, and think that the plant is a form of C. X 
“Wavriniana. Mr. Coningsby remarks that the pollen from it has been 
used on C. gigas imperialis. 
. A fine hybrid Paphiopedilum, which was acquired as a seedling of 
unknown parentage, is sent from the collection of R. Gallsworthy, Esq., 
Bayswater Hill, W. It shows the influence of P. Charlesworthii very 
strongly, and the other parent must have been a species of the tessellated-
