OcroBER, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 319 
E. F. Clark, Esq., Chamonix, Teignmouth, which Mr. Clark states is from 
a cross made a few years ago from Cattleya Gaskelliana * Lelia x Iona. 
It is about intermediate in size and shape, and has rose-purple sepals and 
petals, and a dark purple lip, without any yellow in the throat, in which 
respect it most resembles the pollen parent. . It flowers from the young 
growth without a sheath, like the hybrids of Lelia pumila and L. Dayana, 
a character which Mr. Clark has noticed as extending to the second 
generation where these parents are only represented to the amount of one- 
fourth. One other hybrid is recorded from Lelia Iona, namely, Lelio- 
cattleya Lucasii, of which Cattleya Warscewiczii was the other parent. 
A good flower of Paphiopedilum xX tonso-superbiens is sent from the 
collection of R. Gallsworthy, Esq., of Harrogate. It is of good shape, and 
has a broadly ovate, white dorsal sepal, closely veined with green, while the 
petals are broad and flat, ciliate, and about half as much spotted as in P. 
superbiens, but with rather larger spots. It was purchased as ‘‘tonsum X 
Veitchii,’”” hence must be referred to the above. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the

The Report of the R.H.S. Scientific Committee for August 31st contains 
the following Orchid notes :— 
CYPRIPEDIUM TIBETICUM.—This is one of the commonest herbaceous 
plants in open places at an altitude of 11,500 to 12,000 feet. A photograph 
was shown in an interesting series of Chinese photographs by Mr. E. H. 
Wilson. 
MALFORMED CYPRIPEDIUM.—Mr. R. W. Rickards, of Usk Priory, sent 
a flower of Cypripedium insigne in which the two lateral petals had a slight 
tendency towards the form of the lip, and the bract was green and leathery 
instead of membranous.
