January, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 2 
g C. x illari but rather lighter in colour, and the petals- 
very prettily spotted. It was exhibited at the same meeting. 
Lelio-cattleya X Ophir magnifica (L. xanthina x C. Dowiana aurea) is 
a very richly coloured form, sent from the collection of J. Leemann, Esq., 
Heaton Mersey, by Mr. Smith. The sepals and petals are very deep- 
yellow, and the front of the lip light purple. 
A fine form of Paphiopedilum x Leeanum is sent from the collection of 
F. M. Burton, Esq., Highfield, Gainsborough, in which the lower sepal is 
very broad, and like the dorsal sepal in colour, except that the spots are 
smaller and limited to the basal angles. It is probably an accidental 
occurrence, as the flowers were normal last year. 
Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. 
J. Chamberlain, M.P., Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay. Léelio- 
cattleya xX Perseus (C. X Minerva X L.-c. X Clive) has improved since 
its first flowering, and has broad sepals and petals of light purple colour, 
while the front of the lip is very deep blackish purple, and the throat 
yellow. Cattleya x Gem (C. Bowringiana ¢ X C. Dormaniana $) is a 
curious little hybrid, raised in the collection, and has rather narrow sepals 
and petals, lilac-purple in colour, and a three lobed lip with broad ample 
side lobes, and a small round bright purple front lobe with darker veins. 
The other flower is a light blush pink form of Lelia anceps, like a light 
L.a. Hilliana. 
A 
an 
series of Paphiopedil is sent by O. O. Wrigley, Esq., 
Bridge Hall, Bury (gr. Mr. a to illustrate the value or these plants 
for winter blooming. The forms of P. insigne are very numerous, and 
those of P. X Leeanum only less so, while numerous other hybrids are 
excellent, and show how well their culture is understood. Space fails us. 
to enumerate them, but a few may be mentioned. P. Mastersianum X 
L I is a richly coloured form, fairly intermediate in 
shape. P. tonsum, crossed with the same pollen parent, is also richly 
coloured, but has more of the tonsum shape, and spots on the petals. 
P. tonsum X niveum has resulted in a good form of P. tonsum, so that the 
cross appears to have been ineffective. P. Curtisii X ciliolare is a 
remarkably fine hybrid, which has brought out the best qualities of its 
two closely allied parents. 
Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of M. Oscar 
Fanyau, Hellemmes-les-Lille, France, by M. Cleverley. Odontoglossum 
crispum X luteopurpureum, now flowering for the second time, is, of 
course, a form of O. X Denisonz, and has bright yellow flowers blotched. 
with brown. O.crispum X polyxanthum is a nicely blotched form of O. X 
waltonense. There is also an unspotted form of O. crispum, very closely 
resembling O. c. virginale, and a form of Cattleya maxima with lines on the
