62 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (FEBRUARY, 1908. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A very beautiful form of Cattleya Triane is sent from the collection of 
Mrs. Fielden, Grimston Park, Tadcaster, by Mr. G. P. Bound, who 
remarks that it is the first time it has flowered. It is of excellent shape, 
with very broad, short petals, and the colour white with a faint tinge of 
lilac, and the front lobe of the lip bright lilac in front of the alate: disc. 
It belongs to the C. Trianz delicata type. 
Two interesting flowers are sent from the collection of R. le Doux, 
Esq., Marlfield, West Derby, Liverpool, by Mr. Davenport. The first was 
purchased as Cattleya Trianz alba, but a flush of pale lilac in the sepals 
and petals, and a still more decided one on the front of the lip, shows that 
it must be placed with C. Triane delicata. The spike produced three 
flowers, which have been expanded nearly four weeks. The other is a 
seedling Cypripede whose parentage has unfortunately been lost, but it is 
almost exactly intermediate between C. insigne and C. exul, and we believe 
is a hybrid between them. The dorsal sepal is narrower than in the former, 
with the basal green half very sharply defined, and on it occur about two 
dozen large roundish dark brown spots. 
An interesting hybrid Cypripede, is sent from the collection of Mrs. 
Ross, Poggio Gherardo, Florence. It is a hybrid been C. x Sallieri and C. 
hirsutissimum, and most resembles the latter in size and shape, and the 
former in colour, though the petals are lilac at the apex. It will be a form 
of C. Erato.

ORCHIDS FROM GHENT.—Three interesting and beautiful Orchids were 
recently sent from the collection of the Marquis de Wavrin, Chateau de 
Ronsele, Ghent, two of which were noted last month, but we regret 
that there was a mistake respecting their origin. The Marquis writes that 
the form of Cattleya x Imperator noted at page 32 was not a natural 
hybrid, but the product of a cross between C. labiata Lindeni, a very 
large dark variety, ? ,and C. granulosa Buyssoniana 3. It agrees well with 
the natural hybrid of the two species. Lelia x Adrienne (p. 31) was 
obtained by crossing Lelia Jongheana with the pollen of L. przestans, SO 
that this plant cannot yet claim a place in the ranks of natural hybrids. The 
third is a fine dark form of Lelio-cattleya Gottoiana, raised at Ronsele 
from a very dark Lelia tenebrosa and C. Warneri moortebeekiensis, which 
the Marquis says was purchased some years ago, and is the darkest he has 
ever seen. The seedling is still small, and should develop into a very fine 
thing, as the shape is good, and the colour very rich. It once more proves 
the parentage of a natural hybrid, whose origin was long a complete 
mystery.
