AUGUST, 190y.| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 253 
Two pretty hybrids are sent from the collection of the Right Hon. J. 
Chamberlain, M.P., Highbury, Birmingham. One is believed to be Lelia 
x splendens, derived from L. crispa and L. purpurata, as it has white sepals 
and petals, and the front of the lip purple with a much crisped pale margin. 
The other has buff yellow sepals and petals, and a deep purple lip with some 
yellow at the base and apex. It is believed to be a form of L. X Pacavia. 
Mr. Mackay remarks that they are seedlings which were purchased under 
quite different parentage—in fact both should have been Leliocattleyas, but 
there are eight pollinia in each case, and we believe that the parentage 
above given is correct 
A three-flowered inflorescence of what is evidently a hybrid of Cattleya 
granulosa and Lelia purpurata is sent by his Honour Judge Philbrick, K.C., 
Bodorgan House, Bournemouth. The flowers are large, the sepals and 
petals whitish, and the lip very deeply three-lobed, with a long isthmus to 
the front lobe, which is purple behind and white with purple veins in front, 
while the tips of the front lobes are also purple. It is a form of Lelio- 
cattleya burbagensis. 
We have received flowers of several handsomely blotched Odonto- 
glossums from Mr. John Robson, of Altrincham, but unfortunately without 
names or parentage, though they are evidently seedlings of garden origin, 
one apparently being a very dark form of O. X armainvillierense, and all 
probably contain O. crispum in some form or other. 
A very fine dark form of Odontoglossum Harryanum is sent from the 
collection of John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill Hall, Bishops Waltham, by 
Mr. Kench. The flower measures four inches across its broadest diameter, 
and the segments are also very broad and of arich dark, almost blackish purple. 
A very fine inflorescence of Odontioda Charlesworthii superba with eight 
flowers is sent from the collection of W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, 
Stone, by Mr. Stevens. It is one of two spikes from the plant which 
received a Cultural Commendation at the last meeting of the R.H.S. The 
sepals and petals are deep ruby crimson, and the lip bright brick-red with 
an orange-yellow disc. It was originally purchased from Messrs. Charles- 
worth and Co. Flowers of four seedlings of Odontoglossum x Rolfez from 
the same pod are also sent, showing much variation, and all beautiful. 
A flower of Cattleya Warscewiczii rubens is sent from the collection of 
Richard Ashworth, Esq., Ashlands, Newchurch, Manchester, by Mr. 
Fletcher. The sepals and petals are bright rose purple, with a darker 
band near the apex and some darker marbling on the basal half, and the lip 
is very dark purple crimson, with the eye-like blotches rather small. He 
also sends a flower of Odontoglossum X excellens var. Richard Ashworth, 
from a panicle of forty-two flowers. It is a very distinct and pretty form, 
having a white ground and purple-brown blotches on the sepals and lip.
