LHE ORCHID REVIEW. 245 
sianum 2 and S. x Sedeni candidulum ¢, which almost combines the shape 
of S. x Ainsworthii with the colour of S. x Sedeni var. leucorrhodum. 
S. x Ainsworthii was derived from S. longifolium var. Roezlii 2 and S. x 
Sedeni ¢, and therefore our novelty must be considered a very light-coloured 
variety of the same. It is also a robust grower, and altogether a very 
promising plant. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X VIPANI VAR. ROSEUM. 
This charming little plant was raised by Mr. T. Bond, gardener to 
C. Ingram, Esq., of Godalming, from C. niveum $ and C. philippinense 
Roebelenii 3. It chiefly differs from the original type, raised by Captain 
Vipan, in having rather broader, more obtuse segments, which are some- 
what suffused with light purple. It. is densely spotted with light purple, 
chiefly along the nerves. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X MASSAIANUM. 
This is not only very handsome, but especially interesting as the first 
hybrid partly derived from C. Rothschildianum. C. x superciliare was the 
seed parent. The hybrid was exhibited by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of 
St. Albans, the raisers, at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, on 
July 11th last, and received an Award of Merit. The flowers were large, 
the upper sepal white, closely striped with chocolate red; the petals cream- 
white, tinged with green on the nerves, and profusely spotted with dark 
purplish crimson. The lip is large, tinged with rose in front, and paler 
behind. 
VANDA X MIss JOAQUIM. 
A hybrid, raised at Singapore by Miss Joaquim, between Vanda Hooker- 
iana and V. teres, two Orchids which are said to be cultivated in almost 
every garden in Singapore. It is said to have the general habit of V. teres, 
with the form of flower of V. Hookeriana and the colour of the other parent. 
The sepals and petals are rosy violet, and the lip violet rose at the margin, 
Passing into fiery orange, with a yellow disc. It is described as a very 
lovely plant, and a great improvement on both parents. It is being pro-

MASDEVALLIA X REBECCA. 
A graceful eb, raised by Mr. Robinson, gardener to F. L. Ames, 
Esq., Longwater, North Easton, Mass., U.S.A., between Masdevallia ignea 
erubescens 2 and M. amabilis 7.. The flowers are intermediate in shape
