OcTOBER, 190y.| THE ORCHID REVIEW. 315 
ODONTIODA GRAIREANA.—A remarkable hybrid, raised by M. H. Graire, 
Amiens, France, from Odontoglossum Rossii X Cochlioda Neetzliana, to 
which a Certificate of Appreciation was awarded at the R.H.S. meeting 
held on August 31st last. The plant closely resembles the Odontoglossum 
in habit, the bulbs being ovate, somewhat compressed, and bearing a broad 
spreading leaf at the apex. The inflorescence is arcuate, and at present 
bears six flowers, one of which has been kindly sent, and measures 2} inches 
from tip to tip of the petals. It is fairly intermediate in shape, the petals 
being elliptical-ovate, and acute, and the sepals narrower, while the lip is 
strongly three-lobed, and over an inch long. The sepals and petals may be 
described as light scarlet, inclining to salmon-colour, with the apex and 
margins of the petals light rose, and the lip pale creamy yellow with a 
suffusion of pink. The lip is free from the column, and the front lobe 
strongly recalls O. Rossii, being suborbicular, undulate at the margin, and 
nearly ? inch broad. The side lobes are broadly rounded, and the large 
oblong crest is four-lobed in front, and bright yellow, with the basal part 
brown. The column is rose-coloured behind and paler in front, with a pair 
of rounded wings. It is a very distinct and striking form. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X MOORTEBEEKIENSE.—A very attractive hybrid, 
raised in the establishment of Messrs. Linden, Moortebeek, Brussels, from 
Odontoglossum Edwardii crossed with the pollen of O. cirrhosum, and 
most like an enlarged edition of the seed parent. It has oblong-lanceolate, 
undulate, very acuminate sepals and petals, which are deep violet-purple, 
with a lilac-coloured apex, while the lip is ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, and 
similar in colour, with a bright yellow crest. The flowers are about twice 
as large as in O. Edwardii, and very numerous. 
L&LIOCATTLEYA DayANa.—A very pretty little hybrid from the 
collection of H. S. Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney (gr. Mr. Day), whose 
parentage is recorded as Cattleya velutina x Leelia crispa. It is rather 
larger than the Cattleya parent, and has oblong-lanceolate, buff yellow 
sepals and petals, the latter being somewhat undulate. The lip is strongly 
three-lobed, cream yellow, with acute reflexed side lobes, and a rounded 
undulate front lobe, veined with purple at the basal angles, this colour 
extending along the sides of the isthmus, and down the disc to the base, 
while the centre of the isthmus and base of the front lobe are yellow. It is 
a distinct and attractive little hybrid. 
CATTLEYA X CRASHLEYI.—Another very pretty hybrid from the same 
collection as the preceding, said to have been raised from C. granulosa X 
Loddigesii. The sepals and petals are bright rosy-lilac, and closely 
resemble those of the latter parent in shape. The lip is strongly three- 
lobed, with broad white acute side lobes, and a broadly rounded, crisped, 
front lobe, which is reflexed at the sides, and closely veined with bright
