AUGUST, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 255 
A flower of the beautiful white Cattleya Eldorado Wallisii is sent from 
the collection of Sir John Edwards- Moss, Thamesfield, Henley-on-Thames. 
The deep orange-yellow throat of the lip forms a most effective contrast 
with the rest of the tHlower. 
STANHOPEA x WOLTERIANA. 
A FLOWER of the large and handsome Stanhopea X Wolteriana (O.R. xiii. 
p- 272) is sent by M. Paul Wolter, who remarks that it was raised from S. 
Martiana X S. tigrina, and that several plants have now bloomed, some 
being very light yellow, others darker yellow, with a considerable amount 
of variation in the colour of the spots. The flower sent measures 54 inches 
from tip to tip of the lateral sepals, which are two inches broad. The 
dorsal sepal is longer and narrower. The colour is honey yellow, with 
many large red-purple blotches from base to middle.‘ The petals are 
undulate, three inches long by } inch broad, and the colour honey yellow 
with a few spots, and a very large deep red-purple blotch at the base. 
The hypochil of the lip is 14 inches broad, and deep yellow, with a deep 
red-purple blotch on each side, while within the lower half is deeply suf- 
fused with the latter colour. It isa very large and handsome hybrid, in 
which the influence of S. tigrina is very marked. The flowers are strongly 
perfumed. M. Wolter remarks that Stanhopea seedlings grow rapidly.
