THE ORCHID REVIEW. III 
CYPRIPEDIUM X EcHo. 
This is a very handsome dwarf-growing hybrid raised from Cypripedium 
Hookere $ and C. insigne f, in the same collection as the preceding. The 
leaves are greenish white, netted with light green, and about three inches 
long by one and a half broad ; flower scape one foot high, brown, with purplish 
hairs, flower three and a half inches across ; dorsal sepal oval, mucronate, 
apical third greenish white, remainder pale green with a few purple dots 
near the base, the whole beautifully tinged with rose-violet ; petals very 
broadly spathulate, rose-violet shading to green at the base, and faintly 
dotted with violet, ciliate on the margins; lip shining, rich brown with 
darker veining, paler beneath, infolded side-lobes pale yellow with purple 
dots, ciliate on the margin of aperture; staminode semi-orbicular, hirsute, 
primrose yellow. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X BEHRENSIANUM. 
A very pretty hybrid raised in the establishment of Messrs. F. Sander 
and Co., of St. Albans, from C. Boxallii 9 and C. x Io grande f. It might 
almost be described as C. Boxallii with the petals narrowed and covered 
with large dark purple-brown spots almost to the apex, and the staminode 
approaching that of C. Lawrenceanum in shape. These modifications are 
due to the influence of C. Lawrenceanum and C. Argus, the parents of C. x 
Io grande. The spots on the petals come chiefly from C. Argus, while 
their shape, as well as that of the staminode, is due to the combined 
influence of this species and C. Lawrenceanum. A small green tubercle on 
the staminode, the shape and colour of the dorsal sepal, and the details of 
the lip show the influence of C. Boxallii. 
| CYPRIPEDIUM X PANDORA. 
A charming hybrid raised by M. Anton Joly, from C. Argus and C. 
Dayanum, the latter presumably the pollen parent. It most resembles the 
former, but the dorsal sepal has more white on the margin, and the petals 
more spreading, and the lip somewhat approaches C. Dayanum.—Kranzlin 
in Gard. Chron., Feb. 24th, p. 230. 
L&Lio-cATTLEYA X Hon. Mrs. Astor. 
A handsome hybrid raised in the establishment of Messrs. F. Sander and 
Co., of St. Albans, from Cattleya Gaskelliana ? and Lelia xanthina 7. In 
shape it most resembles the former, though the colour is more like that of 
L. xanthina. The sepals are clear light yellow, the petals white tinged with 
sulphur, and the front part of the lip bright rose-purple with lilac margin 
and the throat streaked with purple and yellow. It flowered when five and 
a half years old.—O’Brien in Gard. Chron., Feb. 24th, pp. 230, 231, Fig. 24. 
L&LIO-CATTLEYA X Doris.—In the description of this handsome hybrid 
at p. 79 it was inadvertently stated that Lelia cinnabarina was the seed 
parent. The allied L. harpophylla should have been given.
