ODONTOGLOSSUM x THOMPSONIANUM. 
IT is interesting to record that the handsome Odontoglossum Thompso 
ianum has again been raised. Flowers are sent from the collection of 
plant. It is just under three years old from the time of sowing the see 
which was sown in July, 1903, and has flowered with a spike of twel 
flowers on its second seedling bulb. The first bulb is r} inches long by an 
inch broad, and most resembles O. crispum, but the second is 43 in 
long by two inches broad, and is most like O. Edwardii, the five lea 
being three to sixteen inches long by 1} inches broad. The spike is fort 
six inches long and bears twelve flowers. The development is much quicker 
than that of the original plant, whose history, together with a figure, has 
already been given (O.R. xiii. pp. 173, 241, 242, fig. 60), but the flowers 
are remarkably similar, the colour being intense blackish purple, with lilac 
tips and some similar markings at the base of the petals, the apex of the 
lip white, and the crest yellow. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. : 
THREE interesting Lzlio-cattleyas are sent from the collection of J. 
Grogan, Esq., Slaney-park, Baltinglass (gr. Mr. Cooper). They are seedlings 
raised in the collection. The first is a good typical L.-c. Schilleriana, 
raised from Lelia purpurata x Cattleya intermedia, and is flowering or 
the first time. A second, raised from L. purpurata Russelliana X C. inter 
_media, has the lip prettily veined with purple on a white ground, in this 
respect bearing a considerable resemblance to the seed parent, thou, 
typical in shape. A third seedling has a suffusion of light rose in the sepals 
and petals. The parentage is not quite certain. It is thought to have come 
from another cross, but some seedlings yet unflowered may throw more 
light on this point. Mr. Grogan has bloomed other L.-c. X Schilleriana 
seedlings, and says all were much alike in flower and growth, but the P 
sent one differs considerably. A good seedling form of L.-c. X Aphrodi 
raised in the collection, is also sent, and a fine Lilia tenebrosa, having > 
sepals and petals and the usual purple lip. 
DENDROBIUM LAsIOGLossuM.—With respect to the note at page 1521 
find that it was owing to an inadvertence that the name D. shillonge? 
was used for this species, and the record of the Certificate should } 
amended to D. lasioglossum, for it is fully recognised that the plant sho™ 
is the one figured at t. 5825 of the Botanical Magazine.—R. A. R.
