356 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
HISTORY OF ORCHID HYBRIDISATION. 
Part XI. 
(Concluded trom page 328.) 
A LARGE number of hybrids appeared during 1892, many of them being very 
distinct and beautiful, though no new genus was added to the list. 
Sophro-cattleya x Veitchiana is perhaps one of the most interesting. 
It was raised in the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, of 
Chelsea, from Sophronitis x grandiflora ? and Lelio-cattleya x Schilleriana 
g, and thus three genera were concerned in its parentage. In this respect 
it would appear to establish a record. It is convenient to refer the plant to 
Sophro-cattleya, though perhaps not strictly correct. Like S. x Bate- 
maniana and S. x Calypso, it is very beautiful. 
Cymbidium x Winnianum, the second hybrid in the genus, is another 
very interesting plant. It was raised in the collection of Charles Winn, 
Esq., the Uplands, Selly Hill, Birmingham, from C. giganteum @ and C. 
eburneum $; whose characters it well combines, It is described at p. 22. 
Epidendrum x Endresio-Wallisii is a pretty little hybrid, raised by 
Messrs. Veitch, from E. Wallisii 2 and E. Endresii g, two species not before 
used by the hybridist. In habit it most resembles the latter. Its characters 
are pointed out at p. ro4. 
Zygopetalum x leucochilum was also raised by Messrs. Veitch. Its 
parents are recorded as Z. Mackayi ? and Z. Burkei ¢, and thus it was the 
first hybrid derived from the latter. 
Phaius x hybridus is a bold and handsome hybrid, raised in the collec- 
tion of D. O. Drewett, Esq., of Riding Mill-on-Tyne, Northumberland, from 
P. grandifolius 2 and P. Wallichii g. The reverse cross is figured on p. 241. 
Phalznopsis x Artemis was derived from P. amabilis, Blume (grandi- 
flora) 2 and P. rosea 3, and bears considerable resemblance to P. x inter- 
media. It was raised by Mr. Seden in Messrs. Veitch’s establishment. 
Phalznopsis x Amphitrite was raised by Messrs. F. Sander and Co.; 
of St. Albans, from P, Sanderiana ? and P. Stuartiana ¢, whose characters 
it well combines. 
Masdevallia x Cassiope is a very interesting little hybrid, raised by 
Captain Hincks, Terrace House, Richmond, Yorks, from M. triangularis ? 
and M. Harryana 7, two species which belong to very different groups. 
Masdevallia x Shuttryana was raised in the collection of Sir Trevor 
Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking, from M. Shuttleworthii 2 and M. 
Harryana $. The specific name is intended to indicate the parentage. 
Masdevallia x McVittie is a very pretty little hybrid, raised in the 
collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, Staffordshire, it 1S 
Said from M. tovarensis ¢ and Veitchiana j, though the. characters of the
