206 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ONCIDIUM PANDURATUM. 
Tuis distinct and pretty Oncidium, which flowered in the collection of 
Welbore S. Ellis, Esq., Hazelbourne, Dorking, in October, 1894, was again 
exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society’s meeting on September 8th 
last. It is a native of New Granada, and was sent home by Mr. A. Millican, 
with Odontoglossums, in 1891, and was described early in 1895 (Rolfe, in 
Kew Bull., 1895, p. 9; Orch. Rev., III., p. 83). The species is allied to O. 
bracteatum, Rchb. f., and O. anthocrene, Rchb. f., but has smaller flowers, 
which are borne in a narrow panicle about two feet long. The sepals and 
petals are deep chestnut-brown with crisped-undulate narrow yellow 
margins, and the lobes of the small pandurate lip are bright yellow, with a 
shining brown disc. The column is without wings. It has much of the 
habit of an Odontogl and the pseudobulbs have some broad blackish 
bars at the base. It is a very distinct species, and at present we do not 
know of its existence in any other collection. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
L&Lio-cATTLEYA X BRYAN. 
Tuis is a handsome hybrid raised in the collection of Norman C. Cookson, 
Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, from Cattleya Gaskelliana ¢ and Laelia 
crispa ¢, to which an Award of Merit was given on September 8th last by 
the Royal Horticultural Society. It is comparable with L.-c. X exoniensis, 
but the front lobe of the lip is of a nearly uniform crimson-purple, except 
for the paler much-crisped margin, as in the Cattleya parent. On the 
whole it most resembles the last-named, the sepals and petals being light 
Tosy-purple ; but in the shape of the lip, the yellow throat, and the shape of 
the segments, the influence of Lelia crispa is distinctly seen. It is a large 
and handsome hybrid, the petals measuring over 13 inches broad. It is 
one of the many fine things raised by Mr. Murray. 
: CypripepIuM X ROTHWELLIANUM. 
A distinct and very pretty hybrid between Cypripedium Argus ? and 
C. Stonei ¢ was exhibited by Messrs. F. Sander & Co. at the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society’s meeting on September 8th last, under the above name 
It bore a raceme of two flowers, which well combined the characters of the 
two parents. In general shape it may be compared with one or two others 
of the Morganiz type, the characters of C. Stonei being most apparent. 
The dorsal sepal is greenish-white, delicately lined with faint purplish lines, 
the petals somewhat similar in the ground colour, with several dark brown 
blotches, and the front of the lip of a teddish-pink tinge. The shape is 
good, the ground colour clean, and the blotches, on the petals, derived from 
C. Argus, set the flower off to advantage. It is a very promising thing:
