82 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [MareH, 1908. 
The plant was also exhibited at the meeting of the Scientific Committee, 
and gave rise to some discussion as to the naming of generic hybrids, as 
may be seen by the report. Mr. Bound had previously submitted to me the 
question whether I considered Diacrocattleya to be the best way of 
combining the names Diacrium and Cattleya, and as I was unable to be 
present at the meeting in question, I should like to offer a few remarks. It 
has long been agreed that hybrids between distinct genera should receive a 
generic name formed by combining the names of the parent genera, or parts 
of them, to form a single word, the precedent being set when the late Dr. 
M. TI. Masters coined Philageria, to indicate a hybrid between Philesia 
buxifolia and Lapageria rosea. When Messrs. Veitch flowered a hybrid 
between Colax and Zygopetalum, in 1887, the principle was extended by me 
to include all the generic hybrid Orchids which had been raised, then seven 
in.number (Journ. Linn, Soc. xxiv. pp. 156-170), since which period twenty 
others have appeared. They may be enumerated alphabetically, as follows :—
