Paphiopedilum tonsum xX insigne Sandere is alight form of P. x Kiba, 
and a well-shaped flower. P.tonsum X callosum is a fine form of P. X 
Felicity. P. callosum x cenanthum is the reverse cross of the one known 
as Olga Bagshawe, and is very good in shape and colour, while P. x 
Lathamianum X barbatum Warneri is a form of P. X Dakinii. 
HYBRIDISING WITH MIXED POLLEN. 
A YEAR ago we recorded an experiment made in the collection of R. G. 
Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham, by crossing Lelia xanthina with mixed pollen 
from Cattleya W iezii and C. Dowiana aurea (O.R. xiv. p. 284), and 
how one of the seedlings flowered as L.-c. Phryne, a hybrid from the first- 
mentioned Cattleya. Another which subsequently bloomed was believed 
to be L.-c. Ophir, a hybrid from C. Dowiana aurea. We have recently 
seen the batch of seedlings, some of which show clearly the Warscewiczil 
and others the Dowiana habit, and one which was in flower was clearly a 
richly-coloured form of L.-c. Ophir, having deep yellow sepals and petals, 
and traces of the rich Dowiana colour and markings in the lip. It is now 
clear that both hybrids have appeared out of the same cross, and we hope 
to be able to report further next year when other seedlings bloom. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, 
Victoria Street, Westminster, on the roth and 31st, when the Orchid 
Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold a 
meeting at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on December 19th. The 
Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to inspection from I to 
3 p.m. 
Paphiopedilum F airrieanum, since its re-introduction, has become very 
common in cultivation. Messrs. James Cypher & Sons, Cheltenham, have 
many thousands of plants, and are said to have hopes of flowering an albino 
form before all are proved. 
In the list of Birthday Honours, ‘ssued on the occasion of His Majesty’s 
birthday, appears the name of Mr. Jeremiah Colman, Gatton Park, Reigate, 
one of our most enthusiastic Orchidists, on whom a baronetcy hasbeen con- 
ferred. We congratulate Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., and hope he may 
enjoy the honour for many years to come. 
THE OrcHIp STUD-Boox.—We have now come to the printing of the 
Addenda, which proved heavier than anticipated, and hope that in a very 
few weeks we shall have something definite to report.
