THE ORCHID REVIEW. 295 
C. x Othello was derived from C. hirsutissimum 2 and C. Boxallii 7, 
and is thus the reverse cross of C. x Godseffianum (p. 259). It was ex- 
hibited at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on March 11th, 
1890, 
C. x Numa was obtained by crossing C. Lawrenceanum with the pollen 
of C. Stonei, between which it is fairly intermediate. 
C. x H. Ballantine was derived from C. purpuratum $ and C. Fairie- 
anum ¢. It is a very pretty little plant, in which the characters of the 
pollen parent are well represented. 
C. x Antigone is a handsome hybrid, derived from C. Lawrenceanum ¢ 
and C. niveum 2, and thus is the reversed cross of C. x Aphrodite (p. 262), 
but is more robust in habit. 
Three others appeared in the collection of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., 
of St. Albans :— 
C. x GEnone was derived from C. Hooker ? and C. superbiens @, 
between which it is quite intermediate in character. 
C. x Youngianum was obtained from C. superbiens ? and C. philip- 
pinense (Roebelenii) 3 It is a handsome hybrid, about intermediate in 
shape and colour. 
C. x Eyermanianum was derived from C. barbatum ¢ and C. Spicerianum 
4, and is generally intermediate in character. 
From the collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., The Woodlands, Streatham, 
appeared the two following :— 
C. x Cythera was derived from C. Spicerianum ¢ and C. purpuratum @, 
and most resembles the former. 
C. x Hera was derived from C. Spicerianum ¢ and C. villosum g, and 
thus must be a variety of C. x Lathamianum (p. 227), which has the same 
parentage. 
C. x Apollo was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural 
Society on April 22nd, 1890, by R. I. Measures, Esq., of Cambridge Lodge, 
Camberwell, in whose collection it was presumably raised. C. x vexil- 
larium and C. Stonei are recorded as the parents. 
C. x Doris was raised in the collection of Norman C. Cookson, Esq., 
Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, by Mr. Murray, from C. venustum + and C. 
Stonei $. The characters of the seed parent largely preponderate in the 
hybrid. 
C. x Desboisianum appeared in the collection of MM. Edm. Mic ve 
et Cie., of Mont-St.-Amand, Ghent, and was obtained by crossing C. 
venustum with the pollen of C. Boxallii atratum, and well combines the 
characters of its two parents.
