THE ORCHID REVIEW. 47 
Imschoot, of Ghent; Notylia brevis and Cirrhopetalum Whitei with Sir 
Trevor Lawrence, Bart. ; Polystachya villosa, Cryptophoranthus minutus, 
Sarcanthus auriculatus, and three species of Cirrhopetalum, with Mr. Js 
O’Brien. Some of these had flowered on previous occasions, but were now 
described for the first time. 
Varieties of well-known species are continually appearing, the most 
remarkable of last year being the beautiful Cypripedium bellatulum album, 
which flowered in the collection of Sir Frederick Wigan. The distinct 
buff-yellow variety of C. insigne called Laura Kimball, from the Kimball 
collection, may also be mentioned, while various others have been recorded 
in our pages from time to time, which we have not space to enumerate. 
Turning to the hybrids we find a rather extensive list, and here again we 
can only enumerate the more interesting and remarkable of the numerous 
forms which have appeared. The prize for the best hybrid of the year was 
secured by N. C. Cookson, Esq., with Phaius x Cookson (P. grandifolius 
@ xX P. Humblotii ¢). Dendrobium Xx Murrayi (nobile @ x albo- 
sanguineum g) and D. x Astrea (luteolum @ X crassinode ¢) also came 
from the same collection. 
Lelio-cattleya x Darwiniana (L.-c. x elegans Turneri @ X maxima 
é) and L.-c. x Elsteadensis (C. bicolor ¢ x L. xanthina ¢) came from 
the collection of C. Ingram, Esq. Cattleya X Lady Ingram (Eldorado ¢ 
x Dowiana aurea 3) and C. Xx Cecilia (Lawrenceana ? X Trianz g) are 
two other beautiful forms from the same collection. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons have again added several remarkable 
hybrids to the list, two of the more kable being Dendrobi X illustre 
(chrysotoxum @ x pulchellum g) and Phalaenopsis x Luedd violacea 
Other striking forms are Cattleya X Eros (Mossie ? x Walkeriana ¢),
