134 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Sander and Co., of St. Albans, from M. Shuttleworthii 2 and M. xanthina@. 
It was dedicated to Baron Hruby von Gelenye, of Peckau, in Bohemia. In 
describing it Reichenbach remarked, “‘ This is the débit of Mr. F. Sander 
in Orchid hybridising, and very many more are forthcoming.” 
A second hybrid raised by Dr. Harris, of Lamberhurst, which flowered 
in 1887, was described as Cattleya x Miss Harris, in honour of that gentle- 
man’s daughter. It was derived from C. Mossie$ and C. Schilleriana 7. 
Curiously enough, the flower is remarkably like that of the pollen parent in 
shape, the influence of the mother plant being chiefly seen in a modification 
of the colour. 
Lzlia x Novelty was also raised by Dr. Harris, from Leelia pumila? 
and L. x elegans f. It is a pretty little plant, most resembling the former. 
Cypripedium x Mrs. Canham was derived from C. superbiens ¢ and C. 
villosum 2, and thus is the reversed cross of C. x Charles Canham, its origin 
and history being otherwise identical with the latter. It was dedicated to 
Mrs. Canham. Its flower is also very large, but much more like that of 
C. villosum, in fact in each case the flower takes most after the pollen 
parent.

EPICATTLEYA x GUATEMALENSIS. 
This handsome Orchid is a natural hybrid between Epidendrum aural 
tiacum and Cattleya Skinneri, and was originally found growing on the same 
tree with these two species, by Mr. Skinner, who sent it to Messrs. James 
Veitch and Sons, with whom it flowered in March, 1861. It was originally 
described as Cattleya x guatemalensis, and when exhibited at a meee 
of the Royal Horticultural Society it was awarded a First-class Certificate. 
It possesses an unmistakable combination of characters of the two paren 
species, and its beautiful flowers are quite intermediate in colour, which A 
a peculiar orange-colour flushed with rose. It is a very rare plant, — 
one or two other individuals have since appeared, to one of which Reich? 
bach gave the name of var. Wischhuseniana. A raceme of this variety ya 
exhibited by the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., at a meeting f of 
Royal Horticultural Society, on April 11th last, and received an Awat ‘ 
Merit. It differs but slightly from the original form. Its present aie 
was given to indicate its descent from parents belonging to two diffe 
genera.
