138 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1903. 
It is epiphytic in habit, and a rather difficult plant to cultivate 
successfully. 
P. x Cooxsoni, the dwarf plant immediately to the right of P. 
simulans (fig. 31), is a very beautiful hybrid between the two preceding, 
which was raised in Mr. Cookson’s collection, and flowered for the first 
time in 1890. Inthe rather open lip and obsolete spur it most resembles. 
P. simulans, but in other respects has retained much of the character of the 
other parent. It was the first hybrid Phaius. 
P. x Norman, represented in the upper right hand and left hand 
figures (figs. 27 and 28a), was raised in the same collection, and a batch of 
thirty plants was exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. in March, 1898, 
two of them receiving First-class Certificates from the R.H.S., and a third 
an Award of Merit. It was derived from P. Sanderianus ? and P. 
simulans g, and thus is a variety of the preceding, for the identity of 
P. Sanderianus with P. Wallichii has since been established. It is very 
variable in colour, and its decorative value will be apparent from the 
figure. 
P. x Haro cp, the two-flowered scape to the left of P. simulans (fig. 29) 
is a secondary hybrid, raised by Mr. Cookson, between P. Wallichii 
Sanderianus ? and P. X Norman ¢g, which received an Award of Merit 
from the R.H.S. on March 24th last, and was described at page 121 of our 
last issue. The lip most resembles P. x Norman, and the spur is stil! 
very short, but in other characters the increased influence of P. Wallichii 
is obvious enough. 
P. x CLiveE, the separate illustration on the preceding page (fig. 33), 
is another of Mr. Cookson’s hybrids, raised from P. x Norman ¢ and P, 
simulans g, and thus completes the series, the primary hybrid having 
been re-crossed with both its original parents. It is a very handsome 
hybrid, but much nearer to P. X Norman, both in shape and colour, 
than to the other parent. It would be interesting to again cross it. 
with P. simulans. 
-P. TUBERCULOsUs, shown in the right hand figure (ig. 32), is a 
Madagascar species, the original one described by Thouars, whose 
history has already been given (O.R. ix., pp. 41-44, fig. 7.) It was intro- 
duced to cultivation by M. Warpur about 2} years ago. It differs from 
P. simulans in being terrestrial, and in certain floral details, which were 
previously pointed out, though the general resemblance is remarkable, 
especially in colour. It is also more easily cultivated, and should. 
prove a valuable addition to the group, besides providing the hybridist 
with additional material to work with. 
We hope to give a special note on the culture of these beautiful 
plants next month.
