THE ORCHID REVIEW. 21 
PRE BY BREDIST: 
L2LIO-CATTLEYA X EUM@a. 
Various attempts have been made to cross the Mexican Lelias with the 
South American Cattleyas, but for a long time without result. At length 
we have a success to record. Messrs. Veitch succeeded in crossing Cattleya 
Trianz with the pollen of Lelia majalis, and the result is seen in the present 
hybrid, which was exhibited at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society 
on October 24th last. 
We have now received the flower from Messrs. Veitch. It is smaller than 
that of the Cattleya parent, but it has the same general shape. The sepals 
and petals are clear light rosy mauve, also the side lobes of the lip, while the 
front lobe of the lip is rosy crimson, with a few small longitudinal purple- 
crimson blotches on the nerves in front of the disc. The throat contains a 
large obcordate, pale lemon-yellow blotch, which passes into buff-yellow along 
the disc. The influence of the Lelia parent is seen in the modified shape and 
colour. It is very pretty, but apparently not yet fully developed. 
L#LIO-CATTLEYA X STATTERIANA. 
This is a very handsome hybrid raised in the establishment of Messrs. 
James Veitch and Sons, of Chelsea, from Lelia Perrinii 2 and Cattleya 
labiata 7. The flower is like a much enlarged and improved edition of the 
former, the sepals and especially the petals being much broader, owing to the 
influence of the Cattleya parent. The lip is larger and broader than in Lelia 
Perrinii, but almost identical in colour. The large white throat forms a 
most effective contrast with the bright purple front lobe and the somewhat 
lighter-coloured sepals and petals. It is a great improvement on Leelia 
Perrinii, with which it can best be compared, owing to the character of the lip. 
It received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society on 
November r4th last. 
LLIO-CATTLEYA X PALLAS. 
Lelio-cattleya x Pallas is a very handsome hybrid, for which Messrs. 
Veitch received a First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society 
on December roth, 1889. It was derived from Lelia crispa 2 and Cattleya 
Dowiana $. On November 14th last, the same firm exhibited the plant 
again, which now with increased strength shows decided improvement. It 
is a great beauty. The plant bore a raceme of three massive flowers. The 
sepals and petals are very pale yellow suffused and mottled with light blush-, | 
pink, the latter being long, falcately curved, and crispo-undulate. The lip is 
long, beautifully crispo-undulate, and very richly coloured. It approaches 
C. Dowiana in the latter respect, but the crisped margin is lilac, and the
