LHE ORCHID REVIEW. 203 
O. x Scottii was included under O. x glorioso-crispum, but probably 
belongs here, as, in a note formerly overlooked, Mr. O’Brien speaks of it 
as resembling O. x prionopetalum in its jagged petals, though the markings 
are more irregular, and the crest bears traces of O. Hallii. But O. Hallii 
grows too far away, and the crest of O. luteopurpureum is very similar. 
The flowers are heavily spotted and barred with brown on a cream-yellow 
ground. It appeared with G. F. Wilson, Esq., of Heatherbank, Wey- 
bridge, and received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural 
Society in March, 1883. 
In 1884 another form appeared, evidently of the same origin, though it 
received the name of O. x macrospilum. It was exhibited by Mr. B. S. 
Williams, of Upper Holloway, at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural 
Society on March 25th, and received a First-class Certificate. Its flowers 
were said to be like those of O. crispum, white faintly shaded with violet, 
and boldly spotted with chestnut-red. In the following year it was described 
by Reichenbach, two forms being mentioned, one with light sulphur flowers 
heavily blotched with dark cinnamon, from M. Ch. Vuylsteke, of Ghent, 
said to be original, and another from Mr. Day, which would appear to be 
Mr. Williams’s plant just mentioned. 
O. x Shuttleworthii also appeared in 1884, being exhibited by Messrs. 
Shuttleworth, Carder, and Co., of Clapham, at a meeting of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society on April 8th, when it received a First-class Certificate. 
The flowers are whitish, heavily blotched with chocolate or warm brown. 
O. X prionopetalum, which was briefly described in 1885, has probably 
the same origin. It appeared in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, 
Bart., of Burford, Dorking. It has primrose flowers heavily barred with 
' bright chestnut, the shape much like O. crispum, and with jagged petals. 
Traces of O. triumphans are spoken of, but this must be a mere accidental 
resemblance, as the two grow in different regions. i 
O. x Smeeanum appeared in the collection of A. H. Smee, Esgq., of 
Carshalton, and has a rather curious history, which is related by Mr. Smee. 
In 1886 it was purchased from Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, as 
new. ‘A flower was sent to Prof. Reichenbach to be named, and he called 
it O. x Marriottianum. Under this name it was exhibited at one of the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s meetings, when the name was challenged by 
Mr. Pollett and Mr. Marriott. 1 again sent a flower to Prof. Reichenbach, 
who then called it O. x Wilckeanum; Mr. Veitch called it O. x Wilcke- 
anum variety; Mr. O’Brien called it O. x Marriottianum ; and this year 
Mr. Rolfe has called it O. x Andersonianum variety.”* This alone would 
indicate the difficulty of determining some of these intermediate forms, were ~ 
The comparison was made with Floral Magazine, n. S., t. 45, which shows the flowers 
fully 32 inches across, and the petals nine to ten lines broad, such a form of O. x Ander- 
sonianum as I think I have never seen. It is a case of mistaken identity, nevertheless.
