124 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [APRIL, 1909. 
was sown in June, 1903. The other is a form of L.-c. Myra, and was pur- 
chased from Messrs. Charlesworth, in 1900, as a small seedling, with the 
parentage C. Trianz formosa X L. flava. It has light yellow flowers, with 
the front lobe of the lip reddish-maroon, much crisped, and margined with 
light yellow. 
Dendrobium X Ainsworthii var. Mary McCartney is a beautiful white 
variety, with a rich purple-maroon, slightly feathered disc to the lip. A 
flower has been sent from the collection of J. McCartney, Esq., Hey House, 
Bolton, by Mr. Holmes, who remarks that it was raised from D. nobile 
Cypheri x D. heterocarpum philippinense. Lelia x Marjorie is a pretty 
little hybrid from the same collection, which is said to have been raised 
from L. prestans X L. flava, and was exhibited at a meeting of the Man- 
chester Orchid Society on March 18th last. It should be a form of L. X 
Flavina (L. prestans being a form of L. pumila), but it differs so completely 
in colour that there is a doubt if the two can be identical. L. X 
Flavina has a primrose yellow flower, with an orange-yellow disc 
to the lip, while L. x Marjorie has purple sepals and petals, smaller than 
L. pumila, but otherwise similar, the undulate lip is yellow, with some 
reddish-purple marking and veining on the front, and there are four obtuse 
keels in the orange-coloured throat. It remains to be proved if both are 
forms of the same hybrid. Mr. Holmes remarks: ‘‘ We have now in 
flower 150 fully expanded Cattleya Trianz and Schroedere, one of the latter 
with an inflorescence of five grand flowers, while some have six spikes of four 
flowers each ; also a fine lot of Dendrobium Wardianum in bloom. 
Two secondary hybrid Paphiopedilums are sent from the collection of 
O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury, by Mr. Rogers. One is from P. 
villosum aureum X Buchanianum, and flowered for the first time in 
March, 1908. It bears a certain resemblance to P. x Lathamianum, but 
the flower is smaller and more yellow, while the petals as well as the 
dorsal sepal show a dark purple band down the centre, a character 
derived from the pollen parent, which is a hybrid from P. Spicerianum 
and P. Druryi, both of which have the dark band in the dorsal sepal, 
while in P. Druryi it is only present in the petals. The second hybrid is 
from P. xX Measuresianum Amesianum X exul, and flowered for the first 
time in March, 190g. It is most like the latter in general character, and 
bears distinct purple blotches on the dorsal sepal. The influence of P. 
villosum is chiefly seen’in the villous ovary. 
A fine form of Dendrobium x Ainsworthii is sent from the collection of 
James Geddes, Esq., The Lodge, Red House, Ascot. It has blush-pink 
sepals and petals, and a very large feathered reddish maroon disc to the 
lip. It may be referred to D. x Ainsworthii splendidissimum. 
A Cattleya is sent from the collection of Sir John Edwards-Moss, Roby
