158 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [ May, 1907. 
ODONTOGLossuM X IaGo.—A very interesting hybrid raised by De 
Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, from O. Harryanum? X 
Hunnewellianum 3. — It is fairly intermediate in size and shape, and the 
greater part of the area of the sepals is covered with large dark purple-brown 
blotches, while the petals bear numerous smaller blotches. The lip has 
much of the Harryanum character, and is white in front, and densely 
spotted with violet-purple behind, the crest being spiny aud deep yellow. 
‘The seed was sown in 1900, and the plant has now produced a first spike of 
ten flowers. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM XX TIGRINUM.—A very attractive hybrid from O.— 
Harryanum? xX Fascinator 3, raised in the collection of R. G. Thwaites, 
Esq., of Streatham. It is most comparable to O. & Othello, but shows 
more of the crispum influence, as might be expected from the fact that that 
species has been twice concerned in the parentage. The ground colour is 
yellow, heavily blotched with deep red brown, and the lip light yellow, much 
spotted with violet-purple on the basal half. It is a very young plant, and 
has now produced a spike of four flowers. 
ODONTOGLossum X Ernestit.—Another interesting hybrid raised in 
the same collection as the preceding, from O. triumphans @ X Adriane é. 
It is most like the former in shape, and has light yellow flowers, slightly 
suffused with rose towards the margin of the segments, each of which bears 
a few bright brown spots, those on the petals being rather smaller. The 
lip is light-yellow with a few spots, and the column wings large and nearly 
entire. Messrs. Charlesworth exhibited a seedling of the same parentage 
dJast year (O.R. xiv. p. 85). 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SOPHROLALIA Phroso superba is a very brilliant hybrid from the collection 
of Major G. L. Holford, Westonbirt, Tetbury, which received a First-class 
Certificate from the R.H.S. on April 16th last. The parentage is Lalia 
Jongheana 2 X Sophrolelia leta Orpetiana 3, and this is the second of 
the batch which has bloomed, the first, which gained an Award of Merit, | 
being noted at page 247 of our last volume. The present form is consider- 
ably larger, the flower measuring four inches across, and the colour is very 
deep rose-purple, with a deep yellow throat and keels, in which the influ- 
ence of the seed parent is seen. Mr. Alexander, in sending the flower, 
remarks that we shall undoubtedly get some beautiful things among these 
secondary crosses of Sophronitis. 
A curious little hybrid from Lelia harpophylla x Cattleya Triane alba 
is sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth. a 
It is most like the former in shape, but is greatly enlarged, and the colout 
is light buff-yellow throughout, there being no trace of purple on the front
