102 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1907. | 
can easily be recognised as seedlings out of the same pod, though no one 
would have guessed the parentage without the record. D. X Wiganianum,. 
it may be added, is synonymous with D. x Ellisii, which was described at 
page 37 of our ninth volume. 
The three seedlings from D. nobile Ballianum x D. n. murrhiniacum 
can be briefly described as ordinary D. nobile, in other words both the 
colour and the maroon blotch have re-appeared. It would be interesting 
to see if D. nobile Ballianum self-fertilised would behave in the same way,. 
or whether it would keep true like D. n. virginale.—ED. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
THREE beautiful Odontoglossums are sent from the collection of H. S. 
Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney Hill, by Mr. Day. O. X Wiganianum 
Goodson’s var. is a handsome bright yellow flower, heavily spotted with 
very dark brown on the sepals and petals, and less so on the sides of the 
lip. O. X eximium Goodson’s var. has the light yellow ground colour 
nearly obliterated by the large suffused red-brown blotches, except at the 
upper fourth of the segments. Both were exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting 
held on March 5th. The other is a nearly pure white O. crispum, the 
exception being a few brown streaks on the stalk of the lip. But for this 
character it would be referred to O. c. virginale, the albino of the species. 
Several interesting and beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of 
R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell, by Mr. Smith. 
Cymbidium x Holfordianum Cambridge Lodge var. is a very fragrant and 
handsome hybrid from C. eburneum xX C. Tracyanum, and most resembles- 
the latter, except in its light yellowish white ground colour. Cattleya X 
Lawreglossa is a brilliantly-coloured hybrid from C. amethystoglossa X C- 
Lawrenceana, whose characters it combines. The others are Odonto- 
glossum odoratum, obtained under the name of O. Arnoldianum, which is 
synonymous, asmallO. X Humeanum, Oncidium superbiens with whitish 
yellow apex to the petals, Paphiopedilum xX Salus, P. x Vidor, and the 
dark, very little spotted, P. x Charles Richman superbum, forming a very 
attractive group. 
A handsome Brassocattleya is sent from the collection of W. Waters 
Butler, Esq., Edgbaston, Birmingham. It was obtained as a plant of 
unknown parentage, but we think it is a form of Brassocattleya Maroni 
(O.R. 1902, p. 84), the hybrid derived from Brassavola Digbyana and 
Cattleya Mendelii. Mr. Butler remarks that it has seven small and three 
medium-sized bulbs, and is probably eight or ten years old. The colour is: 
bright rosy lilac, with a light yellow disc to the beautifully fringed lip. 4 
pretty light buff yellow flower—one of two produced by the plant at its first 
flowering—is also sent, and as the cross is given as Lelia Cowanil X L.
