LE. AY BRE SA 
LLIO-CATTLEYA X Doris. 
ANOTHER extremely beautiful hybrid from Lelia cinnabarina has appeared. 
‘This species has proved eminently satisfactory to the hybridist, having 
lent its aid in the development of a novel and very pleasing colour, which 
may be described as a sort of Indian yellow or flame-colour, passing into 
shades of orange. Lelia x flammea, Lelio-cattleya x Hippolyta and 
‘L.-c. X Phoebe are examples. Our novelty was obtained by crossing the 
‘same species with the pollen of Cattleya Trianz, in the collection of 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr.- Mr. Wm. 
Murray)—a collection famed for the sterling quality of the hybrids which 
have originated there. It has now flowered for the first time on a very 
small and juvenile plant, a single flower being produced. It measures 
four inches in diameter, the sepals and petals spreading, of a brilliant 
saffron-yellow or light orange, and the petals over an inch broad. The lip 
is obscurely three-lobed, strongly undulated, and the front lobe oblong, 
slightly recurved and well expanded. The colours are charming. The 
side lobes are light yellow, also the disc of the front lobe, the latter being 
very broadly margined with bright rose-purple. It is a most striking, thing, 
and when the plant has become stronger, after one or two more seasons’ 
growth, will certainly develop into a great beauty. It is comparable to 
‘Leelio-cattleya x Pheebe, raised in the same collection, but that has 
flowers of a much deeper orange and a quite distinct lip. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X MORGANIA LANGLEYENSE. 
This interesting hybrid Cypripedium was exhibited by Messrs. James 
Veitch and Sons at the Royal Horticultural Society’s meeting at the Drill 
Hall on January 16th. It is the first that has flowered in which the 
remarkable C. Stonei platytenium has participated in the parentage. As 
the parent seed is C. superbiens, the resulting progeny is so near C. x Mor- 
ganiz, raised from C. Stonei and C. superbiens, that it must bear the same 
name, but, as might be expected, some of the characteristics of the pollen 
parent are distinctly discernible in the hybrid, which differs chiefly from the 
original C. x Morganiz in the following particulars: The flowers are larger in 
all their parts; the spots on the petals are more isolated and of a brighter 
‘colour; and the lip is also more brightly coloured. It was deservedly 
awarded a First-class Certificate by the Orchid Committee. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X ROBINIANUM. 
This is specially interesting as the first hybrid derived from Cypripedium 
Parishii, being obtained by crossing that species with the pollen of C. 
Lowii. It has the dorsal sepal almost of the former and the petals of
