L#LIO-CATTLEYA X LEUCOGLOSSA VAR. BELLA. 
A very pretty hybrid of rather complex parentage, raised by Messrs. 
James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea. It was derived from Cattleya Loddi- 
gesii ? and Lelio-cattleya x fausta ¢, and its descent may be thus graphi- 
cally expressed :—

C. Loddigesii 2 / c eucoglossa 
CL aiseats | and var. bella. 
On November Ist, 1892, the typical form received a First-class Certificate 
from the Royal Horticultural Society, under the name of Cattleya x leuco- 
glossa. This had rose-pink sepals and petals, and a white lip with some 
yellow in the throat. The variety bella, of which we have now received a 
flower, differs in having the front lobe of the lip dull violet-purple above 
the light yellow throat, in which respect it shows the influence of Lelia 
crispa. The general shape of the flower is like that of Cattleya Loddigesii, 
but the front lobe of the lip is rather larger, orbicular, retuse, and elegantly 
crispo-undulate. Technically the plant is a Lzlio-cattleya, and although 
the Lelia parentage is only represented to the extent of one-eighth, yet there 
are four small pollen masses in addition to the four large ones, as in other 
members of the group. The resemblance to Cattleya Loddigesii is easily 
explained by the fact that this species is represented in the hybrid to the 
extent of three-fourths. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X TRYANOWSKYANUM. 
This is a very pretty hybrid, received from H. J. Hunter, Esq., North 
St. Andrew Street, Edinburgh, with the information that it was raised in the 
establishment of Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, between Cypri- 
pedium insigne Chantini 2 and C. x Io grande f. The flower is large and 
well formed, and shows a rather curious combination of colours. The dorsal 
sepal is spotted much in the way of C. insigne, while the petals and lip recall 
a light form of C. x Harrisianum in their shining purple-brown colour. No 
trace remains in the petals of the remarkable spotting of C. x Io, which is 
rather curious. The effect of the contrast of colour is very pleasing. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X TURPE. 
A hybrid raised from Cypripedium barbatum Crossii ? and C. Argus f, 
in the establishment of M. Godefroy Lebeuf, of Argenteuil.—Orchidophile, 
1893, p. 169.
