LALIO-CATTLEYA x ALBANENSE. 
This is another beautiful and extremely interesting plant, recently intro- 
duced from Bahia by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, which has 
now flowered in their establishment. Here again one parent was evidently 
Cattleya Warneri, but the second was as clearly the true Lelia grandis— 
the plant with much smaller flowers, very undulate nankeen yellow sepals and 
petals, and a white lip regularly veined with rosy purple. Compared with 
Lelio-cattleya x Gottoiana the present hybrid has much smaller flowers, 
while the sepals, petals, and lip are much more undulate, so much so that 
before knowing the country it came from I thought of Lelia crispa. The 
sepals are linear-lanceolate, two and three-quarter inches long and three 
quarters of an inch wide, with revolute margins; the petals rhomboid, very 
undulate, and one and a half inches broad, and the lip two and a quarter 
inches long and crispo-undulate. The sepals and petals are light rosy mauve, 
the front lobe of the lip rosy crimson, and the disc purple-crimson, with some 
similar radiating veins extending towards the margin, which is rosy lilac. 
The whole plant is stamped with the characters of the two parent species. 
As in the case of Cattleya x Hardyana, the influence of the purple-flowered 
parent preponderates in the colour of the hybrid.

THE HYBRIDIST. 
CATTLEYA X CHLORIS. 
Tus is a very handsome hybrid, raised by Mr. Seden in the establishment 
of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea, from C. Bowringiana and 
C.maxima g. It received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society on October roth last. The flowers are five inches across, 
and the petals one and a half inches broad. The sepals and petals are 
bright rose-purple, and the lip deep purple-crimson with a lighter throat. 
In its free growth and numerous flowers it shows the character of the mother 
Plant, also in its brilliantly coloured flowers, while the enhanced size and 
modified shape are derived from the pollen parent. It is a very charming 
hybrid. 
DisA X PREMIER. 
Another hybrid Disa has appeared, and a very pretty one too. It was 
" al Horti- 
raised at Kew, and received a First-class Certificate from the pe : 2 ea 
cultural Society on October roth last. The flowers are = coat and
