yellowish-green marked with purple-brown, and a white apex to the dorsal 
sepal. It is most comparable with P. x Deedmanianum (P. Spicerianum 
? X Chamberlainianum ¢), but in the present one the influence of P. 
insigne, coming through P. x Leeanum, is also apparent. It appears to 
have a very good constitution, and will probably develop into a handsome 
thing. 
EPIDENDRUM XX _ PHaBus. 
A raceme of a brilliantly-coloured Epidendrum has been sent from the 
establishment of Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, which owes its descent to 
the intercrossing of E. vitellinum @ and E. x O’Brienianum ¢g. Mr. 
Seden states that in habit it much resembles the latter, except that the 
growths are much shorter. The flowers are also much like this parent in 
shape, though a little larger, but the colour is brilliant cinnabar-orange, 
much approaching that of the seed parent. A peculiarity which it possesses 
is that in every case the petals are united to the sides of the column, which 
was probably the case in E. X radico-vitellinum, where they were noted as 
absent. In any case, it is a curious coincidence that both the hybrids from 
E. vitellinum should present this character. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X INTERMEDIO-FLAVA. 
This is a pretty little hybrid, raised by M. Ch. Maron, of Brunoy, Paris, 
from Cattleya intermedia ? and Lelia flava 3, of which a flower has now 
reached us from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford. It is 
fairly intermediate in habit between the two parents, and bears racemes of 
several light yellow flowers, about twice as large as those of the Lzlia parent, 
the lip being three-lobed, with the front lobe dull rose-purple, and a broad 
line of the latter colour extending down the centre of the disc. One or two 
of the seedlings had larger flowers than the rest, of a very deep shade of 
canary-yellow, and have been distinguished under the varietal name of 
Golden Queen. One of these was exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth at the 
Temple Show, and received an Award of Merit. 
EPILZLIA X CHARLESWORTHII. 
This is another most interesting hybrid, of which a good plant was 
exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., at the Temple Show. It was 
derived from Lelia cinnabarina @ and Epidendrum radicans ¢, and 
resembles a dwarfed edition of the latter in general habit, and the root- 
bearing character of the stems. The flowers measure 1j inches across their 
broadest diameter, are borne in short racemes, and have all the brilliancy 
of colour of the pollen parent as well as its shape, though all the segments, 
including the lip, are much more elongated. _The plant is also marked by
