THE ORCHID REVIEW. 35 
collection of the Hon. Walter Rothschild. A few others which appeared 
are chiefly of botanical interest. 
Of course new varieties of well-known old species are constantly 
appearing, and among the most remarkable of these must be mentioned the 
pure white Dendrobium nobile virginale which appeared in the establish- 
ment of Mr. Thomas Rochford, and was described and figured at page 145 
of our last volume. Maxillaria grandiflora alba is an albino from the 
collection of Sir Frederick Wigan. Several additional varieties of the most 
popular species of Cattleya, Odontoglossum crispum, and others appeared, 
but how far all are distinct from previously named ones could only be 
ascertained on comparison. Some are certainly individuals rather than 
varieties. 
Additions are gradually being made to the ranks of the natural hybrids, 
and among those of last year must be mentioned the remarkable Vanda X 
Moorei, which appeared with Mr. J. W. Moore, of Bradford, V. X amcena, 
with Messrs. Linden, and Cattleya X undulata, with Sir Trevor Lawrence. 
Among garden hybrids quite a long list could be enumerated, but we 
must limit our review to the more distinct and striking ones. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, as usual, flowered several remarkable 
novelties, including Epilelia x radico-purpurata, which was figured at 
page 273 of our last volume, Epicattleya xX matutina, Epidendrum X 
radico-vitellinum, Phalenopsis X Hebe, Spathoglottis X  aureo- 
Vieillardii, Lelia x Olivia, Cattleya x Miranda C. X Melpomene, 
Lelio-cattleya X Violetta, and the striking L.-c. x Digbyano-Triane. 
Another remarkable hybrid from Lelia Digbyana flowered with T. W. 
Thornton, Esq., namely Leelio-cattleya x Thorntoni, a seedling from 
Cattleya Gaskelliana. Cattleya x Miranda was also raised and flowered 
in the same collection, as well as with Messrs. Veitch. 
Brasso catlelia x Lindleyano-elegans is a remarkable hybrid raised in 
the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence. 
Dendrobium X Burberryanum and Cattleya X Miss Endicott flowered 
in the collection of the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P. 
Cypripedium X Haynaldo-Chamberlaini from the collection of E. 
Ashworth, Esq., is probably the first seedling to flower from C. 
Chamberlainianum. 
Lelio-cattleya X Juno is a very interesting hybrid raised in the 
collection of Norman C. Cookson, Esq. 
Cypripedium X conco-bellum and C. xX Rolfei flowered with T. 
Statter, Esq., the latter a hybrid professedly from C. bellatulum 
and C. Rothschildianum, though there is a slight doubt about it. 
Lzlio-cattleya X Robin Measures and Cypripedium X Oakes Ames are 
two interesting hybrids from Messrs. F. Sander & Co.
