THE ORCHID REVIEW. 325 
a handsome form, with blush-white flowers, the disc of the lip light yellow, 
and the anterior portion beautifully veined and suffused with light rosy purple. 
Cattleya x fimbriata, mentioned in the preceding paragraph, flowered 
for the first time in 1878, though the fact does not appear to have been 
recorded at the time. It is said to have been raised from C. amethystina 
(.¢., C. intermedia) 2 and C. Aclandiz g, the cross being effected in 1870. 
M. Bleu states that three seedlings ‘‘were successfully reared; the one 
acquired in all its parts the characters of the mother, while the two others 
borrowed those of the father; and the difference between them is so great 
that it is indispensable to have the key of the enigma in order to recognise 
their consanguinity.” The two plants said to resemble C. Aclandiz were 
called C. x calummata (see p. gg), and the other one C. x fimbriata. 
Unfortunately there seems to have been some confusion in the record, for 
the plant of C. x fimbriata in Sir Trevor Lawrence’s collection, received 
from M. Bleu, is like C. x Krameri, Rchb. f., a natural hybrid between 
C. intermedia and C. F orbesii, as has been experimentally proved by Messrs. 
F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans (see p. 2). Noone can compare the wild 
hybrid with those raised by M. Bleu and Messrs. Sander without seeing 
that all are derived from the same parentage. 
Cattleya x Lowryana was raised in the establishment of Messrs. F. 
Sander and Co., of St. Albans, it is said from C. intermedia and C. Forbesii, 
and thus must also be a variety of C. x Krameri. It received a First-class 
Certificate at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Temple Show in May, 
1891, 
Cattleya x Prince of Wales, raised by Messrs. Sander, also received 
2 First-class Certificate at the same time as the preceding. It is said to 
have been obtained from a cross between C. x calummata and C. Mossi 
Wageneri. It is very handsome; the flowers pure white, with the lip tinged 
With rose. 
The following Lzlio-cattleyas were recorded during 1891 :— : 
Lelio-cattleya x Nysa was raised in the establishment of Messrs. James 
Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea, from Lelia crispa 2? and Cattleya seh ial a. 
It was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on August 
25th, on the occasion of its first flowering. 
Lelio-cattleya x Behrensiana was raised by Messrs. F. Sander and a 
of St. Albans, from Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana ¢ and Cattleya i. 
Sesii f. The flowers are light blush, with the front lobe of the lip brig 
‘methyst-purple. 
Five Selenipediums appeared during the year, as follows — Sete 
elenipedium x Coppinianum was raised in the establishment 0 : . 
P. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, from S. x Sedeni and S. x _— — 
both Parents being themselves of hybrid origin. The flowers are ages 
Coloured, with a darker lip.
