254 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AuGusT, 1907. 
apex is somewhat broadened. The central keels are more elongated than 
in most hybrids. The column is white, with very small lacerate column 
‘wings, slightly marked with brown.—Crawshay in Gard. Chron. 1907, il. p. 
42. 
OponTOoGLossuM X AsTR#A.—Raised in the same collection from a 
natural hybrid O. X Fascinator @ and O. X Wattianum Crawshayanum 
3. It is said to have inferior form, but the colour scheme is pleasing. 
The general colour influence comes from the seed parent, which was creamy- 
yellow, lightly spotted with rose, but the form is more like O. Lindley- 
anum. The sepals are greenish yellow, with a little rose-suffusion, one 
brown blotch at two-thirds distance from the base, a broken line of spots 
round the margin, and an incipient inferior bar made up of few spots. The 
petals are rosy-yellow, with a smaller blotch placed as in the sepals, and 
thickly spotted in their lower area. The lip is similar to O. Lindleyanum, 
but smaller, and the ground colour white, with one large ‘spot and a few 
smaller ones on each shoulder. The column is almost like that of O. 
Lindleyanum. The cross was made in 1go1, and only one new plant has 
at present bloomed.—Crawshay, l.c. p. 42.

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
SEVERAL beautiful Orchids are sent from the collection of R. I. Measures, 
Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell, by Mr. Smith. Lzelio-cattleya Clive, 
Cambridge Lodge variety, is a large and very brilliant form, with a broad 
and very dark lip, and a deep orange-yellow throat. It was raised in the 
collection. Cattleya Mossiz Reineckeana is a well-known and very charm- 
ing variety. Maxillaria ochroleuca is from a plant carrying 80 blooms, 
and when seen in sucha condition is very effective. Stelis Miersii is 
a curious Brazilian species bearing numerous very small green flowers, and 
rather narrow leaves. Paphiopedilum x Zeus, raised in the collection from 
P. callosum X ciliolare, is good in colour and shape, while the petals are 
beautifully spotted. The others are P. Lawrenceanum atrorubens, P. 
superbiens, Demidoff variety, and P. Curtisii, Cambridge Lodge variety, all 
well-known and beautiful forms. 
An interesting series of Orchids is sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, 
Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Haddon. It includes fine blooms of the striking 
~Cycnoches chlorochilon, Anguloa Clowesii, Paphiopedilum Parishii, Odonto- 
glossum Lindleyanum and Schlieperianum, a spike of the brilliant Cochlioda 
Neetzliana, Miltonia candida and Riechenheimii, Masdevallia muscosa and 
the rare M. civilis, Pleurothallis elachopus and Grobyi, Chysis levis, Poly- 
Neale has evidently a very representative collection.
