ee THE ORCHID REVIEW. (JANUARY, 1907. 
which has gained a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. And _ the 
appearance of two new Cattleyas, C. Jenmanii and C. Forgetiana, is 
decidedly interesting. Oncidium Claesii is a very handsome species, and 
we hope will prove as amenable to cultivation as O. macranthum, which 
belongs to the same group. O. X Stanleyi, a supposed natural hybrid, is also 
very handsome. Saccolabium rubescens and Renanthera annamensis are 
two very pretty introductions from Annam, which country promises to yield 
a considerable number of novelties. Pleione yunnanensis (figured at page 
81) is a handsome thing, previously described from dried specimens, but 
now introduced to cultivation, and similar remarks apply to Cymbidium 
insigne, Cypripedium tibeticum, and Disa erubescens. 
HypsRIDs. 
Hybrids have been very numerous, and include: two new Odontiodas, 
O. heatonensis and O. Bohnhoffiz, Sophrolelia Phroso, Brassocattleyas 
Mrs. Francis Wellesley, Cordelia, Digbyano-Forbesii, The Baron, Erotion, 
Pyrrha, and Madame Hye, Brassolelias fladosa and Lelieuxii, Brasso- 
epidendrum stamfordiense, Brassocattlelia balarucensis, elegans-Digbyana 
and Tring Park Hybrid, and numerous additions to familiar genera which 
it would take too long to repeat here, though we must make an exception 
in the case of 
ODONTOGLOSSUM. 
_ The hybrids of this popular genus are now rapidly increasing, and the 
past year has seen some notable additions, asO. x Fowlerianum, x Elaine, 
x Eurydice, x Urania, x W. H. Hatcher, x Terpsichore, x ashlandense, 
x Una, and the interesting secondary hybrid O. x Stewartianum. O. X 
Hudsoni is an interesting natural hybrid from O. gloriosum and Hunne- 
wellianum. M. Ch. Vuylsteke again staged a fine group of seedlings at the 
Temple Show, and eight of the more striking were figured in our August 
issue (pp. 240, 241). The handsome O. x Thompsonianum has also been 
raised again, while O. platychilum, long known from a single plant, has at 
last been introduced in quantity. A few blotched “ crispums ” of artificial 
origin have also appeared, and augur well for future developments. 
CERTIFICATED ORCHIDs, 
as already indicated, have been exceptionally numerous, and an analysis 
of those which gained a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. during the 
year shows thirteen Cattleyas, of which C. Mossiz, C. labiata and C. X 
Fabia claim two each, eight Cypripediums, five Odontoglossums, four 
Cymbidiums, and two Brassocattleyas, with Aérides Houlletianum, 
Fowler’s var., Arachnanthe annamensis, Bulbophyllum virescens, Coelogyn® 
Mooreana, ‘‘ Lezlio-Brasso-Cattleya Veitchii ” (which must be amended to 
Brassocatlelia Veitchii), Lissochilus Horsfallii—a very handsome reintro- 
duction—Sobralia Holfordi, and Sophrocattleya warnhamensis, var. Cerise
