80 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (Marcu, 1906, 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
L&Lio-caTTLEYA X OrrENS.—An interesting hybrid raised in the collec- 
tion of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham (gr. Mr. Black), from Laelia 
Cowanii 2 and Cattleya Trianz ¢, and exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting 
on February 13th. The flower sent must resembles the Lelia parent, being 
rich orange yellow throughout, but enlarged to a diameter of 44 inches 
across the petals. The lip is correspondingly enlarged, very undulate, and 
has somewhat darker veining throughout, but the purple colour of the 
pollen parent is completely obliterated. 
Lauia X Marv Cotman.—At the same meeting another pretty little 
hybrid appeared, as Lelia x Mary Colman, from the collection of Jeremiah 
Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate. Mr. Bound, in sending a flower, 
remarks that it is a cross between Lelia Jongheana ? and L. flava 3. The 
flower is four inches in diameter across the petals, with widely spreading, 
comparatively narrow sepals and petals, of pale primrose colour, while the 
three-lobed lip is deep yellow, very strongly and regularly crisped, and with 
a light yellow margin, but there is’ only a trace of the very characteristic 
Jongheana keels on the disc, these being reduced to slightly thickened lines. 
The much crisped lip shows the influence of L. Jongheana, as well as the 
general shape of the flower, and Mr. Bound remarks that it seems strange a 
there should be no trace of the pink Jongheana colour. In the somewhat 
elongated scape the influence of L. flava is again seen. 
SPaTHOGLOTTIs X Cotmanu.—Flowers of this pretty hybrid, which 
received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. on February 13th, are also 
sent from the same collection. Mr. Bound remarks that the parentage is 
S. aurea Gatton Park var. x S. x aureo-Vieillardii. It bears a gene 
resemblance to the latter, but is at present rather smaller, and the front 
lobe of the lip is less broadly spathulate. The ground colour is deeP 
yellow, with the sepals slightly and. the petals more deeply spotted with 
purple, while the lip is still more marbled with the latter colour. 
DENDROBIUM X Bropre1.—This is another pretty hybrid from Mt 
Colman’s collection, which received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S. 08 
February 13th. Mr. Bound remarks that it is a very distinct and flori- 
ferous hybrid, derived from -D. x Wiganiz and D. x Dominianum, and is 
named in honour of H. C. Brodie, Esq., the newly-elected M.P. for the 
Reigate Division of Surrey. It bears a considerable general resemblance to 
D. nobile, and has rosy sepals, petals tipped with the same colour and white 
below, and a light yellow lip, tipped with rose, and bearing a pait 
smallish maroon eyes in the throat.
