THE ORCHID REVIEW. 293 
Messrs. Veitch. The sepals and petals are pale lilac and the lip mottled 
with purple. 
Lelia x juvenilis is a very pretty little hybrid raised by M. Alfred Bleu, 
of Paris, from Lelia Perrinii crossed with the pollen of L. pumila.. It is 
quite intermediate in character. 
Zygopetalum x crinito-maxillare was raised by Mr. Hill, gardener to 
Lord Rothschild, Tring, and was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal 
Horticultural Society on July 8th, 1890, when it received an Award of 
Merit. Its parentage is indicated in the name, and thus would appear to be 
a variety of Z. x Clayi (p. 67). 
Three hybrid Masdevallias appeared in 1890, which may now be men- 
tioned. 
Masdevallia x Stella was raised by Captain Hincks, of Thirsk, York- 
shire, from M. Estradz 3 and M. Harryana 4, two species which belong to 
quite different sections of the genus. It is quite intermediate in character, 
the shape being most like M. Estradz, while in colour and in its elongated 
scapes it most resembles the pollen parent. 
Masdevallia x Measuresiana was raised in the establishment of Messrs. 
F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, from M. tovarensis ? and M. amabilis 2, 
and was named in compliment to R. I. Measures, Esq., of Camberwell. In 
the shape and colour of the flower it closely resembles the mother plant, 
the influence of the pollen parent being most seen in the terete peduncles 
and longer tails of the lateral sepals. 
Masdevallia x Amesiana was exhibited by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of 
St. Albans, at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on August rath, 
1890. The parentage is recorded as M. Veitchiana ¢ and M. tovarensis 7, 
and the flowers are said to be apricot-coloured. : 
Dendrobium x Venus is a very handsome hybrid raised in the collection 
of Norman C. Cookson, Esq. of Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, from D. 
Falconeri 2 and D. nobile f. It is far more robust than the mother plant, 
Which it most resembles in the flower, except that the characteristic yellow 
disc of that species is nearly absent in the hybrid. 
Dendrobium x Cassiope was also raised in the same collection ae the 
Preceding. It was obtained by crossing D. moniliforme (D. japonicum) 
With the pollen of D. nobile albiflorum. It is a very neat and floriferous 
little plant, with pure white flowers, the disc of the lip being adorned with 
a clear maroon-purple blotch on the disc. 
Three hybrid Dendrobiums were exhibited by Sir Trevor Lawrence, 
art., at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on January 14th, 
— and each received a First-class Certificate. They were as fol- 
Ws :-—~ 
Dendrobium x xanthocentron has the flowers lightly flushed with rose, 
darker at the tips of the segments, and the dise of the lip orange. ——
