306 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
form with broad segments, which was included in the group exhibited by 
Welbore S. Ellis, Esq., Hazelbourne, Dorking, at the Temple Show. The 
arrangement of the blotches is very curious, as one side of the flower is 
nearly pure white, while the other is heavily blotched with reddish purple. 
The peculiarity extended to other flowers on the raceme, and may perhaps 
be constant. 
O. x ANDERSONIANUM SUPERBUM (Fig. 31) is a variety with long and 
rather narrow segments, from Baron Schréder’s collection, which received 
a First-class Certificate at the Temple Show. The ground colour of the 
flower is white with a rosy flush on the sepals, and the blotches reddish 
purple. It differs much in shape from the preceding, and thus the two 
figures serve to illustrate a little of the wide range of variation seen in this 
remarkable natural hybrid, for a full account of which the reader is referred 
to pages 170-174 of our last volume. The present form approaches O. 
gloriosum in shape, while the preceding is much nearer to O. crispum, yet 
both are natural hybrids from the two species in question. 
O, x Horsmanit (Fig. 32) was also included in Baron Schréder’s 
splendid group at the Temple Show. It is the rare and beautiful natural 
hybrid from O. luteopurpureum and OQ. nobile (Pescatorei) which was 
considered in detail at pp. 139, 140 of the present volume. The flowers 
are ivory white, beautifully spotted with cinnamon-brown, and quite 
intermediate in shape, and in the details of the lip and column. The 
flower here figured measured exactly three and one-eighth inches from 
tip to tip of the petals. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM x ANDERSONIANUM, YOUNG’S 
VARIETY. 
This is the very distinct and handsome variety from the collection of 
C. Young, Esq., The Thorns, Sevenoaks (gr. Mr. Ryder), which received 
an Award of Merit at the Temple Show. A flower sent to us was unfortu- 
nately received with one of the petals broken off, otherwise it would have 
been included in the above group. It is very remarkable, both in shape and 
colour. The flower measured two and three-quarter inches across the 
petals, which were three-quarters of an inch broad, and the sepals scarcely 
narrower, the colour ivory white with both sepals and petals richly spotted 
with deep cinnamon-brown, the blotches being arranged in concentric zones 
on their basal two-thirds. The lip has one large blotch in front of the crest 
and a few small ones at the sides. The lip, like the sepals and petals, is 
shorter and broader than in most forms of O. x Andersonianum, though it 
otherwise agrees both in shape and in the details of the crest. The raceme 
only bore five flowers, so that this remarkable variety will probably improve 
_ as it becomes stronger.
