NovEMBER, 1906. ] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 349 
have not seen. The flower is yellowish green, slightly suffused with 
purple, and dotted with brown on the lower part of the petals and the 
dorsal sepal, the margin of the latter being white. It may be called P. x 
Krishna var. Moorei. 
Several very beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of J. H. 
Grogan, Esq., Slaney Park, Baltinglass (gr. Mr. Cooper). They are hybrids 
of Cattleya Bowringiana, which, like their parent, are very useful during 
the autumn. Two seedlings from Laelia Dayana x C. Bowringiana are 
forms of Leelio-cattleya Meteor, originally raised in the collection of 
C. L. N. Ingram, Esq., Godalming. They are fairly intermediate in 
character, but in one the dark lip of L. Dayana has come out in a very 
effective way. The others are the beautiful Cattleya x Mrs. J. W. 
Whiteley (x Hardyana 3), C. x Clytie (velutina 3), and C. X Rothwelliz 
(Eldorado 3). The latter is a seedling raised in the collection and now 
flowering for the first time, but of course is a form of the American hybrid 
mentioned, whose history was given at pp. 35, 43, of our tenth volume. 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
OponToGLossumM X UNA.—This'is a very distinct and pretty hybrid, raised 
in the collection of De Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, from 
O. crispum ¢ xX O. nevadense rosefieldiense ¢, and exhibited at the 
R.H.S. meeting on October gth. Mr. Crawshay, in sending a flower, 
writes that it was the only seedling saved out of the pod, and that the cross 
was made seven and a quarter years ago. He also remarks that both plant 
and spike are most like the pollen parent, and the same might be said of 
the flower. The sepals are light brown, with a light yellow tip and margin, 
and the petals brown with an elongated yellow basal blotch divided. by a 
brown line. The lip is light yellow, with several brown blotches round the 
crest, and the column wings very narrow and serrulate. It is the first hybrid 
from O. nevadense. ; . 
OpontocLossuM X UraniA.—Another very interesting hybrid raised 
by Mr. Crawshay, from O. crispum ¢ X cristatellum ¢. Mr. Crawshay 
remarks that the seed was sown in March, 1902, and the first spike has 
Produced nine flowers, fairly intermediate in character. The ground 
colour of the flower is light yellow, with a largish brown blotch near the 
apex and another below the middle, and a few small blotches on the petals. 
The lip is rather narrow, and bears a spiny crest with a large dark brown 
blotch in front, and the column wings are well developed and denticulate. 
As in the case of O. x waltonense, the effect of the crispum influence oo 
been to break up the solid brown blotches of the sepals more than might 
have been expected.
