:56 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [FEBRUARY, 1903. 
‘parent, but the other is altogether doubtful. The petals are spotted with 
purple-brown on their basal halves, and the hybrid should be compared 
‘with P. x argutus, a hybrid between P. x Arthurianum and P. x Argus. 
Three good forms of Paphiopedilum insigne are sent from the collection 
Of F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey, by Mr. Stafford, 
namely, P. i. albens, P. i. aureum, and P. i. giganteum, the latter being a 
rather large spotted form. There is also a pretty hybrid from P. x 
Leeanum X Chamberlainianum, in which the characters of the two parents 
-are well blended. It is a form of P. x Maria. 
A fine inflorescence of Odontoglossum Uroskinneri album is sent from 
‘the collection of the late R. Tunstill, Esq., Burnley, by Mr. Balmforth. 
‘The plant was purchased in flower from Messrs. F. Sander & Co., in 
August, Igor, and again showed a spike in the following May, which was 
pinched off in order to get a strong spike from the next bulb, and this has 
now appeared. The history of the plant was given at page 334 of our 
first volume, and the doubtful point about its origin has, we believe, never 
been cleared up. Six good forms of Paphiopedilum x Leeanum are also 
‘sent, showing a wide range of variation in the amount of spotting on the 
-dorsal sepal ; also the handsomely blotched P. x Schlesingerianum Mons. 
-de Curte. 
Flowers of the beautiful Lelio-cattleya x luminosa, for which we 
believe that L.-c. x Truffautiana is an_ earlier published name, are 
sent from the collection of Sir James Miller, Manderston, Duns, N.B., 
by Mr. Hamilton. They show an unmistakable combination of the 
characters of Cattleya Dowiana aurea and Lelia tenebrosa, and the habit 
is said to be that of the former, with longer bulbs. The lip is rich purple, 
and the sepals and petals of a coppery yellow shade, which in one flower is 
-darker than the other. 
Flowers of five different forms of Odontoglossum x Andersonianum are 
sent from the collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.p., 
Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay, all of them having the ground 
-colour light yellow, but differing greatly in the number and arrangement of 
the spots. A flower is also sent of the pretty little O. blandum, which is 
now in flower in the collection. 
Flowers of some interesting hybrid Paphiopedilums are sent from the 
-collection of Reginald Young, Esq., Sefton Park, Liverpool. Two forms of 
P, X Omphale differ considerably, though out of the same seed ped 
P. X Xanthus is sent, with P. x chloroneuron, one of its parents, and two 
wpretty forms of P. x Hera. Flowers of the brilliant little Sophrolezlia X 
Psyche are also sent, from a plant which is carrying two inflorescences.
