Marcu, 1908. | THE ORCHID REVIEW. 93. 
that the flower must have been previously fertilised by the plant’s own 
pollen, or possibly by A. Clowesii, and this implies a doubt as to whether 
there is any Lycaste in it. But there need be no doubt under this head, at 
all events, so far as the genus is concerned, for the plate contains a separate 
drawing of the lip, which is totally different from that of Anguloa, and much 
nearer to Lycaste. There is, however, a doubt of another kind, and I 
believe that Lycaste cruenta instead of L. Skinneri was the pollen parent. 
The colour of the flower agrees closely with that, and the crest and markings 
of the lip are almost identical. L. Skinneri must have had quite a different 
influence on the colour. We hope to have the point cleared up. It is a 
very interesting addition to the list of generic crosses, a list of which is 
given on page 82. R. A. R. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
AN inflorescence of the handsome Cymbidium insigne Glebelands var. is- 
sent from the collection of J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, S. Wood- 
ford (gr. Mr. Davis). It has silvery white sepals and petals, and a pink 
lip densely streaked and spotted with claret-colour. The plant received a 
First-class Certificate from the R.H.5. a year ago. 
A series of very interesting flowers is sent from the collection of J. J. 
Neale, Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Haddon. The plant of Epidendrum 
polybulbon is said to be again quite a mass of flowers, which are very 
fragrant. Lelia is represented by L. harpophylla, L. anceps, L. a. Stella, 
and L. rubescens, the latter said to be bearing nine racemes, and much as. 
when figured two years ago (O.R. xiv. p. 41, fig. 5)- Vanda Amesiana is 
represented by two good forms, one being nearly white. Paphiopedilum is 
represented by a dark form of the pretty little P. F airrieanum, P. Spicer- 
ianum, and several others. There are also fine forms of Cattleya Triane 
and chocoensis, the brilliant Cochlioda vulcanica, several Odontoglossums, 
and many other well-known species which make the houses look gay at 
this period of the year. 
a of ee beautiful Dendrobium X Waltoni, a natural hybrid 
between D. Wardianum and D. crassinode, are sent from the collection of 
Max Isaac, Esq., Blundellsands, near Liverpool, by Mr. Driver. It is one 
of a dozen imported D. Wardianum, and a flower of the latter is sent for 
comparison. The hybrid was figured, together with its two parents, at 
age I ur eighth volume. : 
; a st the beautiful Paphiopedilum x aureum virginale is sent 
from the collection of E. Rogerson, Esq., West Didsbury, Manchester, by 
Mr. Price, which is remarkable for having an additional petal on one side 
of the flower. Mr. Price remarks that the plant of Odontioda Devossiana, 
figured on page 41, is now in Mr. Rogerson’s collection.
