THE ORCHID REVIEW. 323 
A curious flower of Phragmipedium x Sedeni leucorrhodum is sent from 
the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-Mare, in which the 
lip is suppressed, but all the other parts normally developed. 
The pretty little Sophrolelia x lta is a seedling from Lelia Dayana 
crossed with the pollen of Sophronitis grandiflora, and much resembles a 
miniature edition of the former with the colour modified. A two-flowered 
scape has been sent by Messrs. James Veitch & Sons. The sepals and petals 
are of a pleasing shade of purple-rose, and the lip darker, almost maroon- 
purple, with a yellow throat, and six dark slightly raised lines along the 
disc. 
Lelia Dayana delicata is a very pretty light variety, of which a flower has 
been sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth. It 
differs from the typical form in having the sepals, petals, and lower part of 
the lip pale lilac, and thus is about intermediate between that and the 
variety alba. 
Two fine forms of Lelia pumila are also enclosed, together with a 
flower of the rare Odontoglossum maxillare, and two hybrid Paphiopediums, 
_ purchased at Messrs. Protheroe & Morris’ sales without record of parentage. 
A comparison of the leaves and flowers shows that one is a form of P. x 
Eyermanium (P. barbatum X Spicerianum), and the other of P. x auroreum 
(P. Lawrenceanum X venustum. 
Cattleya labiata superba is an exceptionally large variety of this fine 
old species, but fairly typical in colouring. We have received a flower 
from the collection of H. H. Noble, Esq., of Aigburth, Liverpool, whose 
petals reach 4; inches in length, all the other parts being equally well 
developed. The plant, which came out of Messrs. Cowan & Co.’s im- 
portations, carries two spikes, one having four and the other* three 
blooms. 
A twin-flowered scape of Paphiopedium Charlesworthii has been sent 
from the collection of Mrs. Hollond, Wonham, Bampton, Devon, together 
with another flower in which the two lateral sepals are free to the base, 
and one of them has the outer margin enlarged, and of the same bright 
rose colour as the dorsal sepal. 
A good flower of Cattleya maxima is sent from the collection of 
W. S. M’Millan, Esq., of Maghull, near Liverpool, having pale rosy 
lilac sepals and petals, and a nearly white lip regularly veined with 
radiating crimson-purple nerves on either side of the yellow disc.
