294 THE ORCHID REVIEW 
NOVELTIES. 
CATTLEYA X HARDYANA, VAR. COUNTESS OF DERBY.—This is the mag- 
nificent Cattleya which was exhibited by T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, 
Whitefield, Manchester, at the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society 
on September 11th last, as a supposed variety of C. Warscewiczii (gigas), 
and to which a First-class Certificate was awarded. It has, however, 
several of the unmistakable characters of the natural hybrid between that 
species and C. Dowiana, and in fact it chiefly differs from the original 
C. x Hardyana in having creamy-white sepals and petals. It differs from 
C. x Hardyana Statteriana in having the whole of the front lobe of the 
lip of an intense purple-crimson, instead of only half of it, and a corres- 
ponding smaller amount of yellow. Inthe amount of veining derived from 
C. Dowiana, as well as in the general shape of the flower, it is very similar 
to the original C. x Hardyana, of which we have now quite a number of 
varieties. The present one is a superb acquisition. 
BULBOPHYLLUM LeEysIANUM, Burbridge.—A very distinct species, dis- 
covered by Mr. F. W. Burbridge on trees overhanging the river near the 
ford at Sinaroup village, North-west Borneo. The flowers are large, 
solitary, and borne on scapes from five to seven inches long, a little 
exceeding the leaves. The dorsal sepal is yellow with purple veins, and 
somewhat resembling that of B. Dearei, Rchb. f., and the lateral sepals 
connate, pinkish, and lined with purple at the base. It is named after the 
Hon. P. Leys, M.B., late Col.-Surgeon of Labuan.—fourn. Hort. Soc., 
Xvii., Proc., pp. 134, 135, fig. 19. 
DENDROBIUM M’GrReEGoRU, F. Muell. & Kranzl—A species of the 
section Dendrocoryne, said to have racemes of three or four flowers of the 
size of D. bigibbum or D. Phalznopsis. The sepals and petals are white, 
the latter with a rose-purple line, the side lobes of the lip purple, and the 
front lobe yellow with some purplish veins. It is not in cultivation, being 
described from a dried specimen, and nothing is stated as to its habitat.— 
Gard. Chron., Sept. 15th, p. 306. 
DENDROBIUM METTKEANUM, Krdanzl.—Described as a peculiar Den- 
drobium, very near to D. nitidissimum, Rchb. f., belonging to the 
Diplocaulobium group. The flowers are pale rose-coloured. It was 
introduced by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, through their 
collector, Micholitz.—Gard. Chron., Sept. 15th, p. 306. 
: CaTASETUM MACRocaRPUM LINDENI, O’Brien.—A variety which was 
imported by Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Internationale, Brussels, with 
Catasetum Bungerothii. The inside of the lip is a little darker, and the 
Mouth of the same a little more open than usual.—Gard. Chron., Sept. 
5th, p. 306.
