NOTES. 
THE January issue of M. Goossens’ useful Dictionnaire Iconographique des 
Orchidées contains figures of the following Orchids :—Cattleya x Fabia var. 
Mary de Wavrin, C. Warscewiczii var. Madame Melanie Beyrodt, Ccelogyne 
miniata, Lindl., Epidendrum aurantiacum, Batem., Lelio-cattleya Berthe 
Fournier var. obscure-purpurea, L.-c. Fraulein Lotte Abeken, Odontoglossum 
Boddaertianum var. arachnoides, Odontoglossum Thompsonianum var. 
M. Osc. Fanyau, Ornithidium coccineum, $Renanthera Imschootiana, R. 
Storiei, Selenipedium torconiense, and Sophrolelia Psyche. 
The next meeting of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural 
Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, on February 12th, when the Orchid 
Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. The Annual 
General Meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on this date. The following meeting 
is fixed for March 3th. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold 
meetings at the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on February 7th and r4th, 
and March 7th. The Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open 
to inspection from 1 to 3 p.m. 
A very interesting flower has been sent by M. Ch. Maron, Brunoy, 
France, which has been raised from Lelia anceps crossed with L. autum- 
nalis, and thus, as the raiser remarks, should be a form of L. X Gouldiana. 
It has, however, longer, lighter-coloured sepals and petals, and thus has 
more of the L. autumnalis character. But the influence of the mother 
plant is clearly seen in the shape and markings of the lip. Probably other 
seedlings would show more of the Gouldiana character, and some supposed 
natural hybrids between the two species have been more like M. Maron’s 
plant. No doubt the hybrid varies considerably. 
M. Maron also sends photographs of Brassocatlelia x Lido, a hand- 
some hybrid from Brassavola Digbyana ? X Lzlio-cattleya Henry Green- 
wood ¢, clearly showing the influence of both parents. This and six 
other hybrids mentioned by M. Maron all received First-class Certificates 
at Paris last year. We may be able to note some of them later.
