same influence. On the whole, the hybrid inclines most to the Epidendrum 
parent in shape, with the exceptions pointed out, and to the Lelia in colour. 
It is a very graceful and pretty little hybrid, and particularly interesting on 
account of the distinctness of the two parents. Though named long ago, 
we think it has not been previously recorded, 
MASDEVALLIA X JESSIE WINN. 
This is a pretty little hybrid raised in the collection of C. Winn, Esq., 
The Uplands, Selly Hill, Birmingham, from Masdevallia tovarensis 2? and 
M. Davisii 3, which has much of the general shape of M. x Measuresiana 
(tovarensis £ x amabilis g), though the colour is very light yellow, 
approaching creamy white. The flower inclines to M. tovarensis in shape 
rather than to the other parent, but the peduncle is terete as in M. Davisii. 
It is, however, smaller than either of them, which only proves that it is not 
yet fully developed, which is almost invariably the case at the first time of 
flowering. The plant is quite small at present. There is a little trace of 
purple at the base of the perianth, as in the mother plant. It is an 
interesting little plant, which we hope to see again. 
CYPRIPEDIUM X GLORIOSUM. 
An attractive hybrid derived from Cypripedium insigne Chantini 2 and 
C. x Io grande @, for which T. Statter Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, 
Manchester, received an Award of Merit from the R.H.S., on October oth 
last. It has much of the general shape of C. x Arthurianum. The dorsal 
sepal is light green, lined with pale brown, and a broad white margin, and 
the lip and petals suffused with very light purple. It is a delicately coloured 
and very pretty hybrid. 
CATTLEYA X MANTINII. 
This is a most interesting and beautiful hybrid raised by M. Georges 
Mantin, Chateau de Bel Air, Olivet, France, from Cattleya Bowringiana 9 
and C. Dowiana aurea §. The cross was made in 1889, the seed sown the 
following year, and the first flowers were produced in October, 1894. 
Photographs received show two plants, one with a three-flowered raceme, 
the other with two. The flowers are large, and approach those of the - 
pollen parent in shape. The sepals and petals are rose-purple, the front 
lobe of the lip being much darker and very richly coloured, and the disc 
traversed with some golden yellow lines. The majority of the pseudobulbs 
are two-leaved, as in the mother plant, but one of the plants has the two 
oldest ones monophyllous, as in the pollen parent. It is a very handsome 
thing, and has flowered at the comparatively early age of four years, so
