JuLy, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 221 
f., sent from Uganda by the late Mr. J. Mahon, and recently flowered at 
Kew. The flowers are borne in long drooping racemes, and are translucent 
white with a greenish tinge.—l.c. p. I15. 
MysTAcIDIUM MaAnHoNI, Rolfe.—Described from dried specimens sent to 
Kew with the preceding. It is allied to M. xanthopollinium, Rchb. f., and 
is said to grow in dense interwoven masses. 
VANILLA ZANZIBARICA, Rolfe.—A native of Zanzibar, described from 
dried specimens sent to Kew by Mr. R. N. Lyne. It is the only East 
African species of the section Folios, of which seven are known from 
West Africa.—l.c. p. I17. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X TERPSICHORE.—At the R.H.S. meeting held on April 
3rd last a very interesting hybrid Odontoglossum was exhibited from the 
collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, under the 
name of O. X Terpsichore. A flower has been kindly forwarded by Mr. 
Crawshay, who remarks that the cross (Pescatorei, unspotted, xX poly- 
xanthum) was made in June, 1899, the seed sown in August, 1909, and the 
first bloom appeared in March, 1906. In general character the flower most 
resembles the seed parent, but the sepals and petals are narrower and more 
acuminate, and the colour bright primrose yellow, with a red brown blotch 
near the base of each sepal, and a narrow line at the base of the petals. 
The lip is broadly pandurate, with the front margin undulate and some- 
what crenulate, and the colour primrose yellow, with a very broad red- 
brown blotch in front of the crest, and a number of red-brown dots on the 
margin of the side lobes. The spiny crest most resembles the pollen 
parent, and is light yellow, each tooth of the crest bearing a narrow red- 
brown line. The lip is slightly adnate to the column at the base, and the 
column wings are very large, slightly crenulate, and white, with a few 
light cinnamon spots. It is a very attractive thing. Three additional 
forms were afterwards sent, showing the same general character though 
differing in some of the details. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X HurstiI.—The supposed hybrid between Cattleya 
Skinneri and Lelia purpurata, which was described at page 287 of our 
eighth volume under this name, unfortunately proved erroneous, the plant 
being a synonym of Laelia Xx Diana, hence the name was suppressed. 
Last year a plant purchased with the same record flowered in the collec- 
tion of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, and is again sent, and as it has 
every appearance of being correct it is suggested that the original name be 
revived for this, thus preserving the original idea. The plant bears two 
racemes of three flowers each, fairly intermediate in shape and purple in 
colour.
