2 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [January, 1906. 
similar history. Cymbidium Sanderi is another handsome species from 
Annam, but we are not certain that it differs from the earlier C. insigne. 
There are also C. Schreederi, and Eulophia paniculata, while Cypripedium 
tibeticum—a true Cypripedium, by the way—has flowered among Messrs. 
Veitch’s Chinese introductions. These are the more striking among 
imported species, and we pass along to the 
HYBRIDS. 
These have, as usual, been numerous, and two of the most remarkable 
were Odontonia X Lairesseze and Dialelia x Veitchii. The former was 
raised by M. A. de Lairesse, from Odontoglossum crispum and Miltonia 
Warscewiczii, and the latter by Messrs. Veitch, from Diacrium bicornutum 
and Lelia cinnabarina.. Other interesting things are Brassocattleya x 
Peetersii, Promeneza X C h Stanhop xX Wolteriana, Cattleya 
x Lawreglossa, C. X Appletoni and C. x Aurora, Lzelio-cattleya xX 
Alexandri, L.-c. x crispo-Hardyana, L.-c. x vivicans, and various others, 
including quite a number of 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS. 
The progress which is being made. with this genus is remarkable. In 
the first place we may mention the way in which the Mexican and 
Colombian species have been united. First came'O. x Lairessei, derived 
from O. Cervantesii roseum @ and O. Edwardii 3 , and figured at page 81 of 
our last volume, and a few months later came O. x Smithii, from O. 
Rossii rubescens 2? and O. X Harryano-crispum ¢, figured at page 9 of 
the present issue. O. x Thompsonianum, derived from O. crispum and O. 
Edwardii is another very remarkable thing, which is figured at page 241 
of our last volume. O. X Vuylstekez, figured at page 361, stands unrivalled 
for richness of colouring. O. x Fascinator, O. x Othello, and O. X 
Pheebe, all figured at page 201, are also handsome, while other novelties 
are seen in O. X Wiganianum, O. x blando-nobile, O. x Stella, O. X 
warnhamense, O..X Ossultoni and O. x formosum (figured at page 297)- 
Besides these we have four remarkable seedling forms of O. crispum, all of 
which have been figured (pp. 48, 112, 145, 337). A last reference to 
Mr. Crawshay’s fine house of seedlings, figured at page 177, will suffice to 
show how great is the progress made within the year. 
CERTIFICATED ORCHIDS. 
These are again very numerous, as is apparent on glancing through our 
reports. Over thirty First-class Certificates were issued by the R.H.S., 
the list including eight Cattleyas, seven Odontoglossums, five Cypri- 
pediums, with Cymbidium and Lelio-cattleya three each, the remainder 
being Calanthe x Chapmanii, Brassocattleya x sale Zyeoreteae x 
Ballii, Oncidium corynephorum, and Vanda Sand illingham var. 
Awards of Merit have been very numerous, while Cie Cultural
