374 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [DECEMBER, Ig09. 
in the Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, in July, 1905, producing a four- 
flowered inflorescence, which Mr. F. W. Moore forwarded to Kew. Sir 
Trevor’s plant produced a seven-flowered inflorescence, which is also 
preserved at Kew. The lateral sepals were about 11 inches long, so that 
the plant has probably not reached its maximum development. Their colour 
is cream-white, with five lilac-pink stripes, while the short dorsal sepal has 
a rose-purple apex and similar lines below. The dorsal sepal and petals 
are slightly ciliate, the latter being spotted with red purple.—R. A. R. 
SORE OSIT: 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A BEAUTIFUL albino of Cattleya x Williamsiz is sent from the collection of 
Lieut.-Col. Sheppee, Holly Spring, Bracknell, by Mr. W. Swanborough, who 
remarks that it was bought as a tiny seedling from Messrs. Sander about 
three years ago, and is now flowering for the first time. The parentage is 
given as C. Gaskelliana * Harrisoniana. The flower is white, with the 
disc of the lip deep yellow, and showing some of the corrugations of the 
C. Harrisoniana parent. The lip, however, is nearly entire, with the 
margin strongly crisped, while the petals are very broad. It is a chaste and 
beautiful variety, and may be called C. < Williamsiz alba. 
A form of Paphiopedilum Actzeus (P. insigne X Leeanum) is sent from 
the collection of Richard Gallsworthy, Esq., of Harrogate. It has light 
yellowish-green flowers, with a distinct purple stripe down the petals, and 
many small brown dots on the dorsal sepal, the upper third of which is 
white. It is a form of P. X Simoni. 
A flower of a pretty little Lzliocattleya is sent from the collection of 
W.H. St. Quintin, Esq., Scampston Hall, Rillington, by Mr. F. C. Puddle. 
It is said to have been raised from Cattleya Bowringiana crossed with the 
pollen of L.-c. La France, the seed being sown in February, 1906. The 
flower is bright rose-purple, with a pale throat to the entire, tubular lip, and 
thus most resembles the seed parent. Other seedlings may behave 
differently, but in this case neither the inflorescence of C. bicolor nor of 
Lzlia tenebrosa can be clearly traced in the flower. 
A flower of Lzliocattleya wintonensis is sent from the collection of 
John S. Moss, Esq., Wintershill, Bishops Waltham, by Mr. C. Kench, who 
remarks that it was raised in the collection from Cattleya Harrisoniana, 
crossed with the pollen of L.-c. Mylamiana, and flowered for the first time in 
October, 1908. He further remarks that the bulbs are two-leaved, like both 
the parents, while some of the plants show spotting on the leaves as in the 
pollen parent. Winton is the old Roman name for Winchester. The 
flower shows clearly the influence of C. Harrisoniana and Leelia crispa, one 
of the parents of L.-c. Mylamiana, but that of C. granulosa, the other 
parent, is not so easily traced. In shape the flower is most like the former,
