276 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
only proves that the seedling is not nearly fully developed, and we are con- 
fident that it will develop into a magnificent thing. The resemblance to the 
plant just named is due to the influence of Cattleya Leopoldi in each, and 
as Cattleya Warscewiczii replaces Lelia purpurata in the novelty, we can 
easily imagine what it may develop into. : 
CYPRIPEDIUM X DENISIANUM. 
A handsome hybrid raised from Cypripedium superbiens and C. xX 
selligerum. The raceme bears three flowers, much resembling the latter in 
shape, but having the petals flushed with rosy-purple, and much spotted 
with a darker shade, owing to the influence of C. superbiens. It can best 
be compared with C. x Youngianum, and its difference may be attributed to 
the influence of C. barbatum, which comes from its C. x selligerum parent- 
age. The dorsal sepal is striped with purple on a light ground, and the 
petals more spreading than in C. x Youngianum. A plant was exhibited by 
Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Internationale, Brussels, at the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s meeting on August 14th last.

LAZLIO-CATTLEYA x INGRAMI. 
A good flower of this handsome hybrid from the collection of E. 
Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, shows what a fine thing it is. 
As will be remembered, it is a seedling from Lelia pumila Dayana ? and 
Cattleya Dowiana aurea 3, which flowered in the collection of C. Ingram, 
Esq., Elstead House, Godalming, and received a First-class Certificate from 
the Royal Horticultural Society on August, 1892. Since then it has been 
exhibited on more than one occasion. It is most like the Lelia parent, 
though the flower is much improved in size, and the lip very richly coloured. 
The plant improves in strength, and this year has borne two flowers on the 
spike. It is certainly a very beautiful hybrid. 
NEUWIEDIA GRIFFITHII. 
The flowering for the first time in Europe of the remarkable Neuwiedia 
Lindleyi was recorded at page 70 of the present volume, and now a second 
species is flowering in the Kew collection. It is N. Griffithii (Rchb. f. Xen. 
Orch., ii. p. 215),a native of Malacca and Perak, growing in dense old 
jungle. It is dwarfer than N. Lindleyi, being little over a foot high, the 
spikes from three or four inches long, and the flowers. pure white, instead of 
yellow, and but little over a quarter of an inch long. It presents the same 
remarkable structure as the one previously sepa i and is particularly 
— as the most saan Orchid-known. +4
