Marcu, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. gr 
yellow form, very regularly spotted with brown on the petals and dorsal 
sepal. P. X Scipio isa fine hybrid, showing strains of P. insigne in the 
dorsal sepal and of P. villosum in the lip petals and hairy ovary. P. x 
aureum Hyeanum is a very large, yellowish-green flower, with some brown 
suffusion on the petals and lip, and the greater part of the dorsal sepal 
white, while P. x a. CEdippe differs in having a large amount of purple on 
the dorsal sepal, and many minute dusky dots on the petals. 
Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of E. Rogerson, 
Esq., Didsbury, by Mr. Price, including a light form of Dendrobium x 
Cybele, from D. nobile albiflorum x Findlayanum, one of D. xX euosmum 
(D. n. Amesiz X endocharis) with a light maroon disc on the lip, a seedling 
form of D. nobile, Paphiopedilum x aureum Rogersonianum, having the 
basal area of the dorsal sepal greenish, slightly tinged with purple, and a 
narrow purple median band, and P. xX Rogersonianum, a P. Chamber- 
lainianum hybrid, of which the second parent is unknown. The basal half 
of the dorsal sepal is deep purple and the upper part lined with the same, 
while the petals are also copiously spotted with purple. The two latter 
received Awards of Merit at Manchester on February 8th last. 
Another interesting lot is sent from the collection of H. T. Pitt, Esq., 
Rosslyn, Stamford Hill, by Mr. Thurgood, these including a very fine 
flower of the richly-coloured Lycaste Xx Ballie superba, the beautiful 
Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni, a Paphiopedilum marked “exul x Calypso” 
which seems too much like the former, Dendrobium x melanodi and 
the chaste D. Wardianum albens, the rare D. X Roeblingianum, Eulophia 
vicens, Angreecum Leonis, and an inflorescense of Platyclinis uncata from 
a plant bearing 67 racemes. 
Lastly must be mentioned a beautiful series from the collection of 
Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool (gr. Mr. Poyntz). P. x 
Kubele is the interesting hybrid in which no less than five species are 
combined. P. barbatum, villosum, insigne, philippinense and superbiens 
‘as described at page 271 of our ninth volume. It is a fine flower witha 
broad striped and spotted dorsal sepal, and broad acute petals, suffused with 
purple-brown and spotted at the base. A form of P. X Oakes Ames, raised 
in the collection from P. Rothschildianum ? and P. ciliolare 3, has a twin- 
flowered scape, and the flowers are intermediate in character and very hand- 
some. The seeds were sown in April, 1896. P. x Lachesis was derived 
from P. x Crossianum ? and P. X marmorphyllum ¢ , and its appearance led 
to some very curious speculations (O.R., iv., pp. 104, 105) which are not yet 
cleared up. A form of P. x Colonel Marchand has also been raised in the 
collection from P. x superciliare ornatum ¢ and P. concolor Regnieri 3. 
It is a pretty little hybrid, having flowers most like the pollen parent in 
shape, and both the dorsal sepal and petals are closely lined with rows of
