THE ORCHID REVIEW. 41 
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. The flower arrived dried, but 
after being soaked in water and spread out showed that the petals were 
irregularly marbled with deep purple, except at the base, and the lip 
exceptionally deep in colour. The sepals are light rose, but also show a 
trace of irregular marbling. It is comparable with Cattleya labiata 
Peetersiana in its irregular colouring, and must have been very handsome 
when fresh. 
We have also received a fine L. A. SANDERIANA from the collection of 
R. B. Macbean, Esq. ; L. a. SCHRGDERIANA, with very broad white front 
lobe to the lip, from W. M. Appleton, Esq.; and the broad petalled 
L. a. Dawson1, from F. Hardy, Esq., together with a small rosy form of 
the type.

THE HYBRIDIST. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X LocusTA. 
Tuis is a very pretty little hybrid, raised from Cattleya bicolor @ and 
Lelia harpophylla ¢g, in the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch 
and Sons, of which a flower has been sent to us. It is said to have 
the habit of the Lelia parent, the longest bulb at present being five 
inches long, and the largest leaf four inches long by three-quarter inch 
broad. The flower is quite intermediate in shape and colour, the sepals 
and petals being orange-yellow, the side lobes of the lip, which enfold 
the column, white, and the front lobe reflexed, narrow, and deep crimson, 
this colour extending down the disc to the base. It has not yet reached 
its full development. 
ODONTOGLUSSUM X  LOOCHRISTIENSE. 
A very beautiful hybrid Odontoglossum has been sent by M. Ch. 
Vuylsteke, of Loochristie, Gand, Belgium, raised from O. crispum ¢ and 
O.triumphans ¢, and the first which has flowered in the establishment. 
It is quite intermediate between the parents, and in many respects recalls 
O. x excellens, but differs in having the petals more toothed, the lip not 
at all pandurate, the crest more like that of O. crispum, and the wings of 
the column distinctly toothed. The sepals and petals are light yellow, the 
latter white along the centre from the base to the middle, and unspotted, 
but the former with one to three brown spots about the middle. The lip 
is white, except the crest, which is yellow, with a large brown blotch in the 
front and the usual crispum markings on the claw. It is much finer than 
any form of O. X Coradinei, and in fact in colour and the broad segments 
is more like O. X excellens. We congratulate M. Vuylsteke on his success, 
and hope to see his other hybrid Odontoglossums when they reach the 
flowering stage.
