DECEMBER, I910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 373 
be a stray seedling of P. x Leeanum x Boxallii atratum, obtained from 
the Selly Hill coliection, and thus a form of the remarkably polymorphic 
P. x Hera. The dorsal sepal is light brown, with a white margin, and 
the lateral sepals are free. 
A flower of a handsomely blotched seedling, obtained from Odonto- 
glossum X Lambeauianum x Rolfez, is sent from the collection of G. 
Hamilton-Smith, Esq., of Finchley. It is fairly intermediate in character, 
and all the segments are handsomely blotched with red-purple on a white 
ground, with a little rosy suffusion near the apex. It will be a form of O. 
X Marietta, described at page 347. Mr. Coningsby remarks that it is 
flowering for the first time, and on the second bulb. 
Two pretty forms of Cattleya x Bertii are sent from the collection of 
Mrs. Fielden, Grimston Park, Tadcaster, by Mr. G. P. Bound, who remarks 
that they were raised in the collection from C. Harrisoniana X labiata. In 
one case the sepals and petals are rosy-lilac, and the lip nearly entire, pale 
yellow, with a deep yellow disc and a little rose-purple in front, while 
the other has rather darker coloured sepals and petals. They are very 
attractive. 
A pretty form of Odontoglossum X armainvillierense is sent from the 
collection of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill, Bishops Waltham (gr. Mr. 
Kench). It was raised in the collection, and has flowers of good shape, 
and the ground colour white, with a large violet-purple blotch on each petal, 
and some similar marking on the sepals and lip. A second flower sent is 
from some seedlings purchased at Lord Tankerville’s Sale last March, but 
the parentage is unfortunately doubtful, for the batch contained O. X 
amabile x crispum (blotched), O. c. Britannia X O.c. Fortunatus, O. c. 
Mundyanum X Rolfez, and O. x Lambeauianum X Rolfeze. Mr. Moss 
thinks it must have been from the first or second, as there is no trace of 
O. Harryanum in the flower. The ground colour is white, with a rosy 
tinge, and a few red-purple spots on each of the segments. 
Paphiopedilum xX Miss Mary Horton is a hybrid from P. X Lathami- 
anum X Rappartianum, raised in the collection of Alwyn Harrison, Esq., 
Lyndhurst, Watford, and now flowering for the first time. The cross was 
made in 1906. Mr. Harrison remarks that it is a vigorous grower, in habit 
resembling P. xX Lathamianum, but the leaves rather larger. Thus it 
combines the characters of P. villosum, Spicerianum, and Charlesworthii. 
Flowers of the handsome Oncidium varicosum var. insigne (O.R., vi. 
p- 27), are sent from the collection of Mr. G. H. Miiller, Sandhaghe, 
Holland. It differs from the ordinary form in having a large brownish 
crimson blotch round the crest of the lip, and in having sepals and petals 
of a similar colour. Its origin is not exactly known, but we regard O. 
varicosum Lindeni and O. v. moortebeekiense as forms of the same.
