MARCH, 1907. | THE ORCHID REVIEW. 93 
Flowers of the charming Dendrobium x chessingtonense are sent from 
the collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., Streatham. It was derived from 
D. X Wiganie @ and D. aureum ¢, and was described at page 101 of our 
thirteenth volume. The colour is bright buff yellow, with a reddish 
marocn, slightly feathered blotch on the lip. 
Four seedling Paphiopedilums are sent from the collection of O. O. 
Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers. P. Dayanum x P. 
bellatulum album has given a light-coloured densely-spotted flower like 
P. X Annie Measures, obtained from the typical QO. bellatulum crossed 
with P. Dayanum, of which it is practically the reverse cross. P. Argus 
x exul has much of the shape of the former parent, and both the dorsal 
sepal and petals are closely spotted with dark brown, rendering the flower 
very effective. One called Bridge Hall seedling (x memoria Moensii X 
Charlesworthil) is very promising, having a broad round white dorsal 
sepal, lined and spotted with clear purple, the petals, lip, and staminode 
also showing some of the Charlesworthii character. The other is from 
P. nitens  Charlesworthii, and has fewer markings on the dorsal sepal. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM x ADRIAN. 
It is interesting to record that Odontoglossum x Adriane has now been 
raised artificially, a plant having been exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting held 
on February 12th by De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks. Mr. 
Crawshay has sent one of the flowers, and states that the plant was raised 
from O. Hunnewellianum crossed with O. crispum Raymond Crawshay, but 
the influence of the latter handsome variety seems to have been lost, as 
the flower is at present small and the markings of quite the ordinary type, 
the colour being light yellow, closely spotted with brown. From its first 
appearance in 1897 it has been recognised as a hybrid between the two 
species mentioned, though we do not know of its having been raised by hand 
before. The history of this hybrid has already been given (O.R. vi. pp. 
_179, 180), and Mr. Crawshay must be congratulated on having now proved 
its origin by experiment. R. A. ROLFE. 
HYBRIDISING ODONTOGLOSSUM CITROSMOUM. 
In answer to Mr. Boppes’ letter in your February issue (p. 47) I beg to say 
that in June last I fertilized flowers of Odontoglossum citrosmum with the 
pollen of O. cordatum, and also made the reverse cross. Whilst the 
capsule resulting from the latter has recently opened and disclosed no (or 
apparently immature) seed, the one on the O. citrosmum plant is plump, 
with its entire stem still green and fresh, giving promise of containing seed 
as evidence of perfect fertiJization. It is interesting to note that the growth
