70 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Cattleya x Manglesii, which, however, flowered in 1866 for the first time 
(vide supra, p. 5), were all Cypripediums, several of them the work ofa 
new operator, as will presently be seen. ; 
The first of them was Cypripedium x Morganiz, derived from C_ 
superbiens fertilised with the pollen of C. Stonei. This magnificent 
hybrid was raised by Mr. Seden, and dedicated to Mrs. Morgan, a 
enthusiastic collector of Orchids in the United States. It was described 
as C. x Morganianum, but the name has since been changed to tht 
feminine termination, by common consent, in accordance with a custom 
long since recognised. Its resemblance to C. Stonei platytaenium Wa 
originally pointed out by Reichenbach, who, remarking on its free growth, 
observed: ‘“‘Hence it may be foreseen that it will form the pleasure 0 
many collectors when C. Stonei platytaenium will be kept as a monopoly 
by Mr. J. Day and his best friends” —a prophecy which, if not fulfilled 
to the letter, has at least proved true in the spirit. 
A batch of four hybrids raised by a new operator next appeared. 
These were described all together, under the names of C. Xx meirax, ¢ 
x chloroneurum, C. x politum, and C..x melanophthalmum. Reichen | 
bach spoke of them as a lot of fresh hybrids, raised by Mr. Robert 
Warner, of Broomfield, whose history is not known, probably in const 
quence of a lost pocket-book. All of them, however, he believes had C 
venustum as one parent, on account of their marked resemblance to that 
species. The opinion has since been expressed that all originated from” 
the same cross, and are, properly speaking, varieties of one hybrid. C 
barbatum is believed to have been the other parent. a 
Cypripedium x calanthum was described near the end of 1880, but® 
said to have flowered for the first time in September, 1878. ad | 
raised by Mr. Seden from C. barbatum biflorum crossed with the polles 
of C. Lowii. It is said to be a free grower, though it still seems to be 
a rare plant. . 
In 1881 nine hybrids were described, belonging to the genera Cypt , 
pedium, Selenipedium, Cattleya, and Calanthe, and furnished evident 
that two new operators had entered the ranks of the hybridists. 
+The first was a Selenipedium, obtained by Mr. Seden from ia 
soltamh ‘crossed with the pollen of S. x Sedeni. It was described 
Cypripedium x calurum. It differs from S. x Ainsworthii in very 
characters, and has since been considered as a variety of the = 
wis bee had S. Roezlii as the seed parent, which, however, ? 
§arded as only a geographical variety of S. longifolium, the seed 
of S. x calurum. am
