THE HYBRIDIST. 
MILTONIODA X LINDENI.—A very interesting and beautiful hybrid has 
been sent by M. Lucien Linden, of Brussels, but unfortunately there is a 
doubt about the parentage. M. Linden’s grower had the record Oncidium 
Phalznopsis x Cochlioda sanguinea, but it clearly came from some other 
cross, and thus may have been a stray seedling. It looks like a hybrid 
between Cochlioda vulcanica and a Miltonia, probably M. Phaleznopsis. Of 
the former genus there is not a shadow of doubt, for the brilliant deep rose 
colour tells its own story, and if character goes for anything the species is 
equally clear, for the resemblance is to C. vulcanica, not to the other 
species. The other genus is almost equally certain, for the shape and 
texture both show a great approach to Miltonia, and the distinct side lobes
