SEVERAL other hybrids appeared in 1888, which may now be briefly 
noted :— 
From the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea :— 
Cattleya x Cassandra, derived from Cattleya Loddigesii? and Leelio- 
cattleya x elegans. It has since been referred to Lelio-cattleya. 
Lelia x Euterpe, an elegant little hybrid derived from Lelia pumila 
Dayana ¢ and L. crispa ¢. 
Cypripedium x Galatea, C. x Electra, and C. x Orestes are three 
seedlings whose parentage is a little doubtful, but they are thought to have 
been escapes from the pot in which the seed of C. x cenanthum was sown, 
and therefore only varieties of that hybrid. 
From the collection of Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on- 
Tyne :— 
Cypripedium x Godseffianum, a very handsome hybrid derived from C. 
Boxallii 2 and C. hirsutissimum ¢@. 
Selenipedium x nitidissimum, another handsome hybrid, derived from 
S. caudatum var. Warscewiczii and S. x.conchiferum. It is not stated 
which was the seed parent. 
From the collection of D. O. Drewett, Esq., Riding Mill-on-Tyne :— 
Cypripedium x caligare, derived from C. venustum ? and C. Dayanum ?, 
and said to have almost the leaf of the mother plant and the flower of the 
pollen parent. 
Cypripedium x pavoninum, derived from C. Boxallii 2 and C. venus- 
tum 2. 
From the establishment of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans :— 
Cypripedium x Berggrenianum, derived from C. insigne and C. x 
Dauthieri, the latter believed to have been the pollen parent. 
From the collection of Dr. Harris, of Lamberhurst, Kent :— 
Cypripedium x Atys, parentage lost, but probably derived from C. 
venustum and C. Hooker. 
From the establishment of Mr. B. S, Williams, of Upper Holloway mee 
Cypripedium x Fitchianum, parentage doubtful, but probably derived

sianum. és 
From the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking :— 
Cypripedium x burfordiense, parentage doubtful, but supposed to have
