CCELOGYNE x COLMANII. 
‘C@ELOGYNE X Colmanii is a beautiful hybrid raised in the collection of 
Jeremiah Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate, by Mr. Bound, from C. 
speciosa @ and C. cristata alba 3, which received an Award of Merit from 
the R.H.S. on February 12th last. Mr. Bound writes that the cross was 
made on April 15th, 1900, the seed sown on October 1st, 1901, and the 
first flower expanded on January 27th of the present year. When exhibited

while the markings on the lip are orange-brown, not dusky brown. The 
hairs of the keels are also more than twice as long as in C. speciosa, in all 
of which characters the influence of the seed parent is strongly in evidence. 
Mr. Bound sends one of the scapes, with flowers of C. speciosa and the 
typical form of C. cristata, so that it is easy to trace the influence of the 
two parent species. The petals are twice as broad as in C. speciosa, and 
the sepals distinctly undulate, both characters derived from C. speciosa. 
It is a very attractive thing, and promises to be very free-flowering. The 
only other hybrid Ccelogyne that we know of is C. X Brymeriana (Dayana
