THE HYBRIDIST. 
L&LIA X GROGANII.—This is a very pretty little hybrid raised in the 
collection of J. H. Grogan, Esq., Slaney Park, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow, 
from Lelia flava X L. crispa. The spike sent bears seven flowers, which 
have an expanse of four inches, on the whole most resembling a much 
enlarged edition of L. flava as regards shape. The colour is light yellow, 
with a considerable amount of the usual purple veining of L. crispa on the 
lip. Mr. Grogan remarks that it is a small seedling now flowering for the 
first time, and that he considers it an attractive little plant. _It is probably 
not yet fully developed. 
ODONTOGLossuM X CLYTIE.—A distinct and handsome hybrid, derived 
from O. Edwardii X O. nobile (Pescatorei), for which Messrs. Charlesworth 
& Co., Heaton, Bradford, received an Award of Merit at the R. H. S. 
meeting held on March 3rd last. It bore a large and gracefully-branched 
panicle of numerous flowers, most like those of O. Edwardii in shape, but 
considerably larger and much modified by the influence of O. nobile. The 
colour is lilac, with large dark purple blotches covering about half their area. 
The lip is pandurate, with an acute apex, the basal half bearing large purple 
blotches, and the crest bright yellow. The column wings are broad and 
minutely denticulate. A second crossing with O. nobile might yield some- 
thing interesting. 
OponToGLossuM X ELEANOR.—Another pretty hybrid, exhibited by 
Messrs. Charlesworth at the same meeting. Its parents are O. cirrhosum 
and O. Uroskinneri, the former being the seed bearer. In shape the flower 
most resembles the former, but the segments are much broader and densely 
dotted with reddish purple ona pale ground. The lip has much of the O. 
Uroskinneri shape, and has two large denticulate yellow keels. The 
column wings are square and nearly truncate. It is very promising, but 
evidently not yet fully developed. It appears to be the first hybrid from O. 
Uroskinneri. 
OponTiopa LuTetiA.—This is a : 
exhibited by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. at the same meeting. It was derived 
from Cochlioda Neetzliana X Odontoglossum luteopurpureum, and 1s fairly 
intermediate between them in size and colour. The flowers may be 
described as light vermillion, with traces of narrow yellow lines on the petals, 
The lip is very pandurate, half adnate to 
third very interesting hybrid which was 
representing the ground colour. : hil
