108 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
narrower, and nearly pure white, with just a trace of very pale sulphur, 
except at the tips of the petals, where there is a faint flush of pink. The 
lip is more open thanin D. nobile, like the sepals and petals in colour, except 
that the area round the disc is pale primrose. The blotch is rather smaller, 
and not quite so darkas in D. nobile. All these modifications show the 
influence of D. signatum, and as both parents are very floriferous, it is 
certainly a very promising thing. The cross was made in March, 1891, 
the seed sown in April, 1892, and the flowers now sent are the first ones 
produced. This charming little plant is dedicated to Lady Wigan. 
DENDROBIUM X HAROLD. 
This is a very pretty hybrid raised in the collection of N. C. Cookson, 
Esq., Cakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, by Mr. Murray, from Dendrobium 
Findlayanum ¢ and D. Linawianum 3. The pedicels are nearly three 
inches long, and rosy in the upper part, and the sepals and petals rosy except 
near the base, which is paler, and the petals at this part nearly white. The 
lip has a pink disc and rose-coloured apex, the remainder being nearly white. 
It distinctly combines the characters of the two parents, though those of 
D. Linawianum are the best marked throughout. The long pedicels should 
make it very handy for cutting. 
DENDROBIUM X KENNETH. 
This is a very pretty hybrid Dendrobium, raised in the collection of N. 
C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, by Mr. Murray, from D. 
Bensonz ? and D. Maccarthia g. The sepals and petals are pure white, 
nearly two inches long, the former five and the latter seven lines broad, 
and the lip 14 inches long by seven lines broad, very acute, and white, with 
a large maroon blotch. The cross was made in May, 1889, and the seed 
sown in July of the following year. Although the flowers sent are 4 good 
deal modified in shape, as compared with D. Bensonz, the influence of 
the pollen parent is less apparent than in most cases, but may be traced in 
the shape of the sepals and petals. Their colour might at first appear 
curious were it not known that the union of purple and yellow often gives 
white, as in so many of the forms of D. x Ainsworthii, where the yellow 
of D. aureum is invariably lost. The present hybrid is a very charming 
hey and received an Award of Merit from the R. H. S. on March roth 
ast. 
EPIDENDRUM X ELEGANTULUM AND VAR. AUREUM- 
Another very handsome hybrid has been raised in the establishment a 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, from Epidendrum Wallisii ? and E. X 
Endresio-Wallisii 3, thus being a cross back to one of the parent 
of the original hybrid. The result is very interesting. The flowers 4°
