APRIL, 1903.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 123 
flowers, one of which has been kindly sent to us. It is fairly intermediate 
in character, the sepals and petals being light green, tinged with brown 
towards the apex, and measuring two inches long ; while the lip is yellowish, 
with a white disc, and a number of large dark red-brown blotches on 
the front lobe. At present it most resembles the pollen parent in habit, 
but has probably not yet reached its full development. The name is an 
abbreviated combination of that of the two parents. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X BEARDWOODIENSE.—A very pretty hybrid from 
O. Pescatorei @ and O. X elegans Eastwood Park var. 3, which was 
exhibited at the R.H.S. meeting on March 24th last, by J. Rutherford, 
Esq., Beardwood, Blackburn (gr. Mr. Lupton). The sepals and petals are 
light yellow, the former heavily blotched with deep red-brown, and the 
latter bearing very numerous smaller spots, which are more or less 
confluent in a large group on the disc, leaving the apex and margins clear 
yellow. The lip is clear yellow, with a very large red-brown blotch, some- 
times partially broken up, in front of the crest. In shape it is fairly 
intermediate, the sepals and petals being somewhat acuminate, and the 
latter 2 inch broad ; while the lip is broadly oblong, over an inch long 
by § inch broad, closely denticulate all round, and undulate in front. The 
crest shows the characters of both species, and the column wings are 
enlarged and well toothed. It is most like O. x elegans, with all the 
segments much broader, and such a form might have been anticipated 
from the combined influence of O. Pescatorei, Hallii and cirrhosum. 
Puaius X Haro_p.—This is a very handsome hybrid raised in the 
collection of N. C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne, from P. 
Wallichii Sanderianus 2? xX Norman ¢, to which an Award of Merit 
was given on March 24th last by the R.H.S. In colour, and the shape of the 
lip, it greatly resembles the pollen parent, but the spur is about twice as 
long, and the segments are about a fourth longer. On the whole it 
resembles the hybrid parent more closely than the original P. Wallichii. 
ORCHIDS FROM CHELTENHAM. 
A very beautiful series of Orchids issent by Messrs. James Cypher & Sons, 
of Cheltenham. It consists largely of Dendrobiums, which are grown to 
perfection in the establishment. A series of flowers of D. nobile shows the 
remarkable variation to which the species is subject, as the forms range 
from the pure white D. n. virginale up to the large and richly coloured D. n. 
nobilius. D.n. Sanderianum has shorter segments of the same dark rose- 
purple shade, while Fischeri is equally rich in colour, but intermediate in 
shape. In D. n. Ballianum the usual maroon disc is replaced by pink, the
