FEBRUARY, 1993.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 63 
A pretty ‘‘ double ”’ flower of Odontoglossum crispum is sent from the 
collection of A. Warburton, Esq., Vine House, Haslingden, by Mr. Bailey, 
who states that it grew on a spike with eleven other flowers which were -all 
normal, the plant being strong and in good health. There are two flowers 
completely fused together in the common pedicel, but the two columns and 
lips are distinct, and there are eight other segments, four of which are 
exterior to the others, so that the petals are also duplicated, but two sepals 
are wanting to complete the series. 
Paphiopedilum X Sophie is a very pretty little hybrid derived from P. 
niveum xX Gowerianum, of which a flower has been sent from the collection 
of Frank A. Rehder, Esq., of Gipsy Hill. The ground colour of the flower 
is white, prettily suffused with blush, and the dorsal sepal lined with purple, 
while the petals and lip are minutely spotted with the same colour. It was 
first exhibited at the R.H.S. Meeting on August 5th last. 
One of the richest coloured forms of Paphiopedilum Charlesworthii is 
sent from the collection of W. M. Appleton, Esq., of Weston-super-Mare, 
together witha paler form, of which Mr. Appleton remarks that the dorsal 
sepal always keeps its distinctly concave shape. A large and richly coloured 
form of P. X bingleyense is also sent, together with a fine P. x Phoebe, 
and a promising byhrid from P. xX villosum X Charlesworthii. 
Another handsome hybrid is sent from the collection of F. Wellesley, 
Esq., Westfield, Woking, which received on Award of Merit from the 
R.H.S. on January 13th. The flower is very large, the dorsal sepal white, 
regularly spotted with purple, and tinged with green at the base, the petals 
and lined with brown, and lip marbled with the same colour. 
A brilliant little hybrid from Cattleya Schilleriana X Lelia cinnabarina 
is sent from the collection of Joseph Broome, Esq., Sunny Hill, Llandudno, 
which is likely to develop into a fine thing when the plant becomes 
strong. 
LYCASTE x JANET. 
A PHOTOGRAPH of the yellow flowered form of Lycaste x Janet, bearing 
29 flowers, is sent by Mrs. Ross, of Florence, to show what a floriferous little 
plant it is. It may be remembered that it is a hybrid between L. Skinneri 
@ and L. Rossiana 3, and that a note on the widerange of variation 
between the different seedlings from the same seed pod was given at page 
g5 of our ninth volume. It is fortunate that the exact history is known, for 
it would hardly have been suspected that both the yellow and rose coloured 
forms originated from the same cross.
