NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society wil] be held at the Drill 
Hall, Buckingham Gate, Westminster, during January, on the 13th and 
27th, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock 
noon. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Societies will hold 
meetings at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on January 8th and 22nd. 
The Orchid Committee meets at 11.30 a.m., and the exhibits are open to 
inspection from 12.30 to 3 p.m. 
Mr. A. J. Keeling, The Grange Nurseries, Westgate Hill, Bradford, 
writes that he has taken his three sons, Arthur Owen, Alfred Edmond, and 
William Archie, into the business, which will in future be carried on under 
the style of A. J. Keeling & Sons. 
A flower of a very pretty seedling Cattleya, ‘‘C. Trianz x bicolor,” is 
sent from the collection of the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, M.P., 
Highbury, Birmingham, by Mr. Mackay. It is a form of C. x Pandora, 
which flowered with Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, in 1900. 
Mrs. Ross, of Florence, has just flowered a good form of Paphiopedilum 
radians, a hybrid between P. Charlesworthii and P. Spicerianum. Mrs. 
Ross writes:—The flower is as large as a fine Spicerianum, and much 
resembles that species, but the dorsal sepal is dark yellow-green at the 
base, with a magenta flush fading into pure white at the edges, and a dark 
magenta line up the middle. The petals are yellow green with light 
chestnut markings, and the slipper is chestnut coloured. 
It is extremely 
pretty. It is five years old, and has five leaves. 
A very curious seedling with the record “L. cinnabarina X autumnalis” 
as sent from the collection of E. F. Clark, Esq., of Teignmouth, which 
chiefly differs from L. autumnalis in having narrower sepals and petals, and 
a large blotch of yellow in the throat. It was sent last year, but owing to 
its great resemblance to L. autumnalis, and the strong influence usually 
exerted by L. cinnabarina, the parentage was suspected. Mr. Clark, 
however, remarks that the bulbs are certainly intermediate, being longer and 
more pear-shaped than in L. autumnalis; and now a similar hybrid is 
figured in the Dictionnaire des Orchidées under the name of Lelia X 
autumno-cinnabarina, which is said to have been raised in the collection of 
Sir Trevor Lawrence from L. autumnalis 9 x L., cinnabarina g. In 
each case the colour of L. cinnabarina is almost entirely obliterated, which 
as very unusual.
