372 THE ORCHID | REVIEW. { DECEMBER, 1910 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON, 
A FLOWER of a very pretty hybrid Paphiopedilum is sent from the 
collection of W. Horton-Smith, Esq., Winnington, Northwich. It was 
purchased at the sale of the Monkholme collection in 1903, as a stray 
seedling, and is now flowering for the first time, producing a two-flowered 
scape. The leaves are green, and are said to resemble. those of P. 
philippinense, being more fleshy than P. Rothschildianum or P. Stonei. 
The colour is most like P. insigne, but the petals, lip, and staminode show 
the influence of some species of the racemose set. It most recalls P. X 
ingens (insigne X Rothschildianum), and we suggest that it may be a form 
of that. The dorsal sepal is greenish yellow, with regular lines of dark 
brown spots, and a little white at the apex. The petals are 34in. long by 
3in. broad, and similar in colour, but unspotted near the apex, the lip 
somewhat elongated, and brown in front, and the staminode obovate, 
convex, and very pubescent. It is a bold and striking hybrid. 
A flower of the pretty Odontioda Seymourii (Cochlioda vulcanica xX 
Odontoglossum Uroskinneri) is sent by Messrs. Mansell & Hatcher, 
Rawdon, Yorks. It is most like the former in colour, having rose-purple 
sepals and petals, but the lip is considerably enlarged, and is broadly 
elliptical and somewhat undulate, with a hastate base, while the ground 
colour is white, spotted and margined with rose. 
A flower of the pretty hybrid Odontoglossum x Circe (Cervantesii X 
Pescatorei) is sent by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath. It 
is most like the former in general character, and has white flowers, prettily 
spotted with purple on the lower half of the segments. 
A few handsome flowers are sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, 
Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth. One is a beautiful Leliocattleya, raised 
from Cattleya superba crossed with the pollen of Lewlia X cinnabrosa. It 
has bright rose-purple sepals and petals of fairly intermediate shape, and a 
very rich purple-crimson, entire lip, with some purple lines in the yellow 
throat. The cross was made in 1gor, and only a single seed germinated, 
on the cocoa-nut fibre bed of a propagating frame on which the seed had 
scattered itself. None came up on the pots on which it was sown. There 
are two forms of what is believed to be Cattleya x Marsiersone 
(Loddigesii x labiata), one being particularly good, and having broad rosy 
lilac sepals and petals, and a light rosy lilac, undulate lip, with a clear 
yellow throat. The other has a smaller lip with some distinct rosy 
markings on the lip. They were purchased as tiny seedlings of ‘ Lelia 
Jongheana x Ernesti,” but the Catalogue contained others of C. 
Loddigesii x labiata, and plants of both flowered out of the same batch. 
The other is a Paphiopedilum of unknown parentage, but is suspected to
