do not find any record at the time. It is pure white with a deep yellow 
throat.—C. labiata Trianz alba, Reichenbachia, ser. I, 11., p. 73, t. 81. 
C. SCHRGDER& ALBA flowered with Messrs. F. Sander & Co., in 1888 
(G. C., 1888, iv., p. 94), and agrees with the type in shape, and the orange 
throat of the lip, the rest of the flower being white.—C. labiata Schrodere 
alba, Reichenbachta, ser. 2, 1., p. 37, t. 17. 
C. MenpELI BLunti is a most beautiful albino with only a light 
yellow stain in the throat, which flowered in the collection of J. Day, Esq., 
of Tottenham, in 1876. It was originally named C. Bluntii, in honour of 
Mr. H. Blunt, collector for Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., who sent it home. 
Another albino of C. Mendelii is known as Quorndon House variety. It 
flowered in the collection of W. E. J. B. Farnham, Esq., Quorndon 
House, Loughborough, from one of Messrs. Sander’s importations, and 
received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on May 
3rd, 1892. It was sold for 220 guineas at the disposal of the collection.—

ODONTOGLOSSUM x MURRELLIANUM VAR. STEVENSII. 
A VERY interesting and beautiful Odontoglossum has appeared in the 
collection of John Stevens, Esq., of Twickenham. It was purchased ina 
batch of O. triumphans and O. Pescatorei mixed, but is evidently a natural 
hybrid between the latter and O. gloriosum, which are known to grow 
together, and which I believe are the parents of O. X Murrellianum, as 
pointed out in a previous note (ante, ii. p. 329), where the history of the 
hybrid is given. It differs from the original in having more acuminate, 
spotted segments; in fact it shows the influence of O. gloriosum as strongly 
as does the original that of O. Pescatorei, yet I believe that both have the 
same origin. The flowers are ivory white, the sepals having a large red-purple 
blotch above the middle and another irregular one below it, and the petals 
three similar lines at the base and three or four irregular blotches about 
the middle. The lip is pandurate, acuminate at the apex, ivory white, with 
a pair of red-purple spots in front of the crest, the claw being bright yellow 
with a few brown lines and streaks. The crest consists of a pair of 
prominent yellow-toothed calli, as in O. gloriosum, with a small additional 
tooth on either side, and the column wings are cirrhose, as in O. gloriosum. 
The characters of O. Pescatorei are very obvious in the shape of the lip 
and colour of the flower, but those of O. gloriosum preponderate elsewhere. 
It is probably weak, as the spike has at present only six flowers. in
