40 THE ORCHID REVIEW. , 
Cypripedium x marmorophyllum, the first cross from C. Hooker, was 
obtained by Mr. Seden, by crossing that species with the pollen of G 
barbatum. It is a bold and richly-coloured hybrid, much resembling C 
Hookere in the foliage, but with the influence of the pollen parent mote 
marked in the flower. 
Cattleya x Mitchelli was raised by Mr. Mitchell, in the collection of Dr 
Ainsworth, of Lower Broughton, Manchester, from Cattleya Leopoldi fertr 
lised with the pollen of Cattleya Trianze (C. quadricolor). It was the first 
cross in which the last-named species had participated, and was thirteen 
years old when it flowered for the first time. 
The last hybrid of the year was raised in the collection of Messts. 
Rollisson and Sons, of Tooting, by Mr. Mylam. It is said to have been | 
raised by crossing Cattleya granulosa with the pollen of Lelia crispa. It 
was called Lelia x Mylamiana, and was well compared with L. x devoniensis. 
From the published figure, indeed (Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1876, ti. p+ 74 
fig. 138), we may safely infer that it originated from the same parentage 
Cattleya guttata, therefore, not C. granulosa, must have been the seed 
parent ; which is the more probable, from the fact that the plant then called 
C. granulosa in gardens was really C. guttata. . It is a curious coincident? 
that C. x Mitchelli and the present one were both raised in 1863, and 
flowered for the first time when thirteen years old. The latter now seems 
to have been quite lost sight of. :

ANGULOA «x MEDIA. 
It is a source of satisfaction to be able to solve the origin of som 
doubtful plant by direct experiment, as has been done on several occasions 
We may now record an instance in which the reverse process took place 
Hybrids between Anguloa Ruckeri and A. Clowesii have been raised, fit 
in the collection of John C. Bowring, Esq., Forest Farm, Windsor, ant 
afterwards with Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea; in the lat 
case, A. Ruckeri was the pollen parent. Some considerable time 4g? ‘<a 
imported Anguloa (known to be such) flowered in the collection of R. & 
Measures, Esq., of The Woodlands, Streatham, and was thought to be @ 
new species. Mr. Seden, however, who saw it, at once recognised it # 
identical with the plant he had raised, and the determination has sinc q 
been confirmed. It is a very inte 
Parent species are known to 
be surprised to find a natural 
resting circumstance, though the a 
grow together, and therefore we need 
hybrid between them.
