AUGUST, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 241 
BRASSOCATTLEYA SANDHAGHENSIS. 
THE annexed figure represents a very interesting hybrid from the collection 
of Mr. Gustav H. Miiller, Huis Sandhaghe, Den Haage, Holland, and is 
reproduced from a photograph kindly sent by him. The cross is given as 
Brassavola Digbyana x Cattleya Schilleriana, and it will be seen that both 
- the dwarf habit and the floral structure of the Cattleya parent come out 
very strongly in the hybrid. The lip is very strongly three-lobed, and both 
the front and side lobes are beautifully fringed, the side lobes being infolded 
round the column. Unfortunately we cannot yet state the colour, as Mr. 
Miller was not able to send a flower, but he has promised to do so when

another seedling blooms. The sepals and petals, however, appear to be 
dark in colour, while the lip is delicately veined with a darker tint when 
examined with a lens, though this character is not quite so obvious in the 
reproduction. As regards the shape of the flower, it is most comparable 
with Brassocattleya Pluto, derived from C. granulosa and B. Digbyana, but 
it has a very much dwarfer habit, and the resemblance in floral structure 
may be attributed to the fact that in both C. Schilleriana and C. granulosa 
the lip is very deeply three-lobed, and the side lobes acute. It is a very 
interesting addition to the group, and has probably not yet reached its full 
development.
