CONTINENTAL NOTES. 
By CH. DE BOSSCHERE. 
AT the December monthly meeting at Ghent M. Jules Hye exhibited a very 
beautiful hybrid, Cypripedium x fascinator, derived from C. Spicerianum ? 
and C. hirsutissimum %, which received a Certificate of Merit by acclamation. 
The dorsal sepal most resembles C. Spicerianum, and the petals C. hirsutis- 
simum, both, however, being modified, like the rest of the flower. This 
Orchidist also exhibited a beautiful Lelia Gouldiana. 
The Orchidéene of Brussels held a most successful meeting on December 
1oth, at which fourteen exhibitors took part. A magnificent inflorescence 
of Cattleya labiata with six flowers was sent from the collection of His 
Majesty King Leopold II., by Mr. H. Knight, for which a First-class 
Cultural Certificate was awarded. M. Alfred Van Imschoot obtained a 
First-class Diploma of Honour for Lycaste x Imschootiana, said to have 
been derived from Lycaste Skinneri 2? and Maxillaria nigrescens f. Lycaste 
Lucianiana from the same exhibitor also received a similar reward. It is 
allied to L. lasioglossa, but has flowers minutely spotted with rose on a light 
ground. A similar award was made to Lelio-cattleya x Stchegoleffiana, 
a supposed natural hybrid, exhibited by Messrs. Linden. Cypripedium 
Parishii x Lowii, from Messrs. Linden, and C. x villoso-Harrisianum, 
from M. Pourbaix also received the same award. Maxillaria sp. and 
Catasetum tabulare var. virens, from Messrs. Linden, received Botanical 
Certificates. Among the Orchids which obtained the award of a First-class 
Certificate of Merit may be mentioned Cattleya Warocqueana marginata 
and C. W. flammea, from Dr. Van Cauwelaert; Odontoglossum crispum 
amplissimum, Cypripedium bellatulum magnificum, Stenia fimbriata, and a 
group of Cypripedium insigne montanum, from Messrs. Linden; Lycaste 
Skinneri alba, Cypripedium x selligero-Harrisianum, Oncidium Phalznopsis 
and Restrepia striata, from M. A. Van Imschoot ; Odontoglossum tripudians, 
from M. de Lansberge; Cypripedium x selligerum, from M. Ch. Van 
Wambeke; Cattleya lJabiata and Odontoglossum crispum, from M. de 
Moerloose; Odontoglossum crispum maculatum, from M. le Comte de 
Bousies; and O. guttatum sulfureum, from M. M. Vevraet et Cie.
