40 THE ORCHID REVIEW. FEBRUARY, 1907. 
with M. Paul Wolter, of Magdeburg-Wilhelmstadt, Germany, and the 
flower with photographs have been very kindly forwarded. The plant is 
most like the Lelia parent in habit, the scape being somewhat elongated, 
and covered with equitant bracts. The pseudobulbs are two-leaved. The 
flower is fairly intermediate in character, the sepals and broad petals being 
rose-pink in colour, and the lip somewhat three-lobed, prettily undulate, 
and white in colour, with a rosy purple apex, and some light reddish 
purple radiating veins on the disc. One of the photographs sent shows the 
habit, and the other includes a flower of each parent, giving a very graphic 
presentment of the way their characters are combined in the hybrid. It is 
dedicated to Frau Selma Wolter. 
OpontTIopA BRADSHAWL#.—A striking and brilliantly-coloured hybrid, 
raised by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, from Cochlioda 
Neetzliana 2? and Odontoglossum crispum ¢, and exhibited by them at the 
R.H.S. meeting held on January 8th, when it received a First-class 
Certificate from the Orchid Committee. It bore a spike of thirteen flowers, 
most like those of the Odontoglossum in shape, but reduced in size. The 
prevailing colour of the sepals and petals is a shade of cinnabar-scarlet. 
The lip is free, three-lobed, with a whitish ground colour, and a scarlet area 
at the apex of each lobe, and one in front of the yellow crest. It is a 
brilliant acquisition. 
ACACALLIS CYANEA. 
Tuis is one of the few so-called blue Orchids, and a remarkably handsome 
plant, though, unfortunately, very rare in cultivation. It was originally 
described by Lindley, in 1853 (Fol. Orch. Acacallis), from specimens 
collected on trees by forest streams on the Rio Negro, by Spruce. It did 
not appear in cultivation till nearly thirty years later, but in 1882 it was 
sent to Reichenbach by Mr. W. Gray, gardener to Erastus Corning, Esq., 
of New York, and in 1885 it flowered in England, in the collection of 
Walter Holland, Esq., of Liverpool. The plant had been collected in the 
Rio Negro district by Bungeroth, when collecting for the Liverpool — 
Horticultural Co. The plant has now been redescribed and figured asa 
new genus, under the name of Kochiophyton negrense, Schlechter (ex 
Cogn. in Mart. Fl. Bras. iii. pt. 6, p. 574, t. 119), from materials collected 
on tree trunks at Cabeceira, on the Rio Tiquié, a tributary of the Rio 
Negro, by Dr. Th. Koch. Prof. Cogniaux inserts the plant in the Addenda 
between Colax and Zygopetalum, but in the body of the work he has 
correctly placed Acacallis cyanea, Lindl., next to Aganisia, to which it is 
very closely allied. Aganisia tricolor, N.E.Br. (in Lindenia, i. t. 45), is @ 
form of the same species. R. A. ROLFE.
