May, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 137 
BRASSOCATTLEYA SUSANNZ. 
A PHOTOGRAPH of this handsome Brassocattleya has been sent by Mr. E. 
O. Orpet, South Lancaster, Mass., with the following note: 
‘* The photo enclosed is taken from the initial flowering plant of a cross 
between Cattleva xX Thayeriana ? and Brassavola Digbyana ¢. It is, 
we think, the first plant raised to flowering age in this country with B. 
Digbyana as a parent. It was exhibited before the Massachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society on March 25th last, and was awarded a First-class Certificate

of Merit. The flowers are about five inches across, of a pearly pink, 
well expanded, and had been in bloom a month before being exhibited, 
_showing their inherited durability from C. X Thayeriana. The seed was 
sown in rgor.’’ It is a handsome thing, and an analysis of parentage shows 
that it is derived from B. Digbyana 4, C. intermedia ¢, and C. Schroeder 1, 
and it may be described as intermediate between B.-c. Cordelia and B.-c. 
langleyensis, which if crossed would yield a hybrid of identical composition.
