had collections from the new district, and there is great difference of 
opinion as to where the best forms are found. It was also M. Claes who 
kindly gave us the habitat of Odontoglossum Harryanum.—ED. | 
LAZLIA x ADRIENNE. 
ANOTHER very interesting and pretty natural hybrid has been sent by the 
Marquis de Wavrin, Chateau de Ronsele, Ghent, through Messrs. Sander & 
Sons, of Bruges. At the first glance it recalls a form of L. pumila with 
rather elongated sepals and petals, but on looking into the throat of the lip 
one detects instantly the prominent orange-coloured keels of L. Jongheana, 
which supplies the key to its origin, for it is clearly a natural hybrid between 
the two species, which are both recorded from the Province of Minas Geraes 
(see O.R. viii. p. 106). As the two parents resemble each other so much in 
colour there is little need of a description beyond saying that the flower is 
abont intermediate in shape, with the addition of the L. Jongheana keels in 
the throat. The specific name, in commemoration of Mdlle. Adrienne de 
Wavrin, is given by request. It would be interesting to raise the cross

ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A very beautiful Odontoglossum is sent from the collection of M. Jules 
Hye de Crom, of Ghent (gr. Mr. Coene). It was exhibited at the meeting 
of the Société Royale Linnéene et de Flore de Bruxelles on December 
15th last, under the name of O. crispum memoria Battle of Waterloo, the 
plant carrying sixteen flowers. The ground colour is white, very evenly 
blotched with purple, somewhat after the fashion of O.c. Mossiz. It is 
not stated whether it came as an imported plant. 
A beautiful yellow form of Cypripedium insigne, called var. Madame le 
Doux, is sent from the collection of R. le Doux, Esq., Marlfield, West 
Derby, Liverpool. It is of excellent shape, with broad dorsal sepal, on 
which are some partially developed blotches, something after the style 
of C. i. Ernesti. The upper half is white. 
Several fine Orchids are sent from the collection of W. Waters Butler, 
Esq., Southfield, Edgbaston, Birmingham. Odontoglossum xX Wilckeanum 
venerandum, for which M. Ch. Vuylsteke received a First-class Certificate 
in May, 1903, is a large and beautiful form, with strongly toothed petals, 
and a light yellow ground colour, very regularly blotched with brown. 
Mr. Butler calls attention to its now flowering almost at the opposite time 
of year as curious. Calanthe vestita luteo-oculata is well known as a very 
beautiful winter-blooming Orchid, and the flowers now sent came from 
an imported plant. There are also two good forms of Lelia anceps, a 
very bright rose form, closely approaching L. a. Hilliana, and a beautiful - 
white, which we think is L. a. Stella. All bear evidence of good culture.
