SEPTEMBER, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 287 
and linear-lanceolate in shape, the latter having an expanse of three inches, 
and their colour is primrose yellow, with several purple-brown spots, chiefly 
on the basal half, and most distinct at the back. The lip is an inch and a 
half long, entire, convolute at the sides on the narrow lower half, and 
expanded in front into a broadly elliptical, unduiate limb, with a recurved 
apiculate apex, its colour being primrose yellow with a few light reddish 
purple dots in the throat, and some larger darker ones at the base of the 
tube outside. The column is about a third of an inch long, and also bears 
a few small spots. It is quite a distinct type, and altogether a very 
interesting little plant. . 
BRASSOCATTLEYA X CORDELIA.—A new hybrid raised in the collection 
of Major G. L. Holford, Westonbirt, Tetbury, from Cattleya intermedia 
¢ and Brassavola Digbyana 3, which has just flowered there for the first 
time. Mr. Alexander remarks that it is the second cross to flower between 
B. Digbyana and the long-bulbed Cattleyas, the first being B.-c. Madame 
Hye, which received an Award of Merit at the recent Holland House 
Show. He thinks that many fine hybrids will be produced from the long- 
bulbed section of Cattleya and B. Digbyana. The flower was a little 
faded when received, but is pale blush almost throughout, with the sepals 
and petals rather narrow, and the lip strongly three-lobed, with all the 
lobes prettily fringed. It is very distinct, and probably not yet fully 
developed. 
CatTLEyA x Saxa.—By an inexplicable error, the name of this pretty 
little hybrid between Cattleya Bowringiana and C. Schilleriana appeared at 
page 252 as Leelio-cattleya Saxa, which should be corrected.
