264 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [SEPTEMBER, 1907. 
the crest, and shape of the column wings show the influence of 0. 
Lindleyanum, but the column itself is more like O. nobile. It is one ofa 
series made by Mr. Crawshay from the same seed parent, and is described 
as showing reversion to O. Lindleyanum in form, with the yellow ground 
colour but loss of spotting of the male parent.—Crawshay in Gard. Chron. 
1907, li. p. IOI. 
OponToGLossuM X AMNERIS.—Another hybrid from Mr. Crawshay’s 
collection, which was exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting held on August 6th 
last, and of which a flower has been kindly sent. The parents are O. X 
cristatellum ? and O. X Crawshayanum g. The flower bears a consider- 
able resemblance to the latter in shape, the sepals and petals being rather 
elongated and undulate, and the yellow ground colour largely obliterated by 
copious dark brown blotches, which in the upper half limit the yellow to 
the extreme apex and a very narrow margin. The lip is broad, slightly 
pandurate, and much fringed in front, with a yellow ground colour, a very 
large dark brown area in front of the crest, and a few marginal and basal 
‘ spots and blotches. The crest is very spiny, thus showing the influence of 
O. Harryanum, and the column wings are light yellow and somewhat 
denticulate. 
ODONTOGLOssUM X AMONASRO.—This also was exhibited at the R.H.5. 
meeting held on August 6th last, and Mr. Crawshay states that the parents 
are O. X cristatellum @ and O. Harryanum ¢. A flower now sent has 
almost exactly the typical cristatellum crest, while the general shape and 
colouring show a close approach to the same parent, though the segments 
are rather longer. The lower third of the sepals and over half the petals are 
yellow, prettily spotted with dark brown, the rest being entirely of the 
latter colour. The lip is broad, fimbriate in front, and yellow with a large 
purple brown blotch about the centre, some distance in front of the crest: 
The column is short, with broad yellow slightly denticulate wings, blotched 
with brown at the margin. 
BRASSOL#LIA THWAITESII.—A distinct and striking hybrid raised in the 
collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham, from Lelia grandiflora 
(majalis) ¢ and Brassavola Digbyana 3, and exhibited at the R.H.S- 
Meeting held on August 6th last. The flower, which has been kindly sent 
us, is most like the Lelia parent in shape, having a general resemblance in 
shape and details of the flower, except that the colour is lighter. The sepals 
are about four inches long, rather narrow, and tinged with lilac, and the 
petals much broader about the middle and rather darker in colour, while the 
strongly three-lobed lip is white, tinged with rose-pink near the margin of 
the lobes, which are also very minutely fringed. The latter character with 
the paler colour and slightly modified shape show the influence of the 
pollen parent.
