OcToBER, 1910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 319 
difficulty is that we cannot find the least trace of Cattleya Dowiana any- 
where, and as that species and Lelia Dayana were the parents of L.-c. 
Ingramii one would expect to find it. It is possibly a case of dissociation, 
in which the characters of L. Dayana only are represented. It is nota pure 
Cattleya, for there are four small pollen-masses, as in Lzeliocattleya. Of 
existing hybrids it is most comparable with L.-c. Binotii (C. bicolor x L. 
pumila). Other seedlings should be watched. 
CATTLEYA X THE CANON.—A flower of this handsome hybrid is sent 
from the collection of Francis Wellesley, Esq., Westtield, Woking, by 
Mr. Hopkins, who remarks: ‘It is one of our seedlings. We are not sure 
about its parents, but I should say C. x Mantinii x aurea.” This seems 
likely, for we can only trace the character of C. Bowringiana and C. 
Dowiana aurea, yet the flower is much larger than .C. x Mantinii, and the 
petals and lip much broader, and approaching C. D. aurea in shape. The 
flower is rich purple, with much yellow veining in the throat.

Stanwix (gr. Mr. G. Accleton), staged a very nice and varied group of 
Orchids, for which a Silver Medal was awarded. The Orchids, which were 
well displayed with ferns, included some good Cattleyas, viz., C. X 
Pittiana Champion, X Atalanta, Sander’s var., X Ella, Sander’s var., 
Leliocattleya bletchleyensis, Lelia majalis, a number of fine Dendrobium 
Phalzenopsis, some good Cypripediums, including a very fine C. X Maudie, 
and a number of beautiful Odontoglossum spikes, which formed a very 
attractive display, and included O. X altum, xX Adriane, maculatum, a 
very fine X Harryano-crispum, and a good well-spotted crispum. The 
plants were all in splendid condition and showed very careful culture. 
Mr. J. Taylor, for many years representing Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. 
Albans, will in future represent Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher, of Rawdon,
