158 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [May, 1908, 
THE HYBRIDIST. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X GEMMATUM.—This is a very pretty hybrid raised by 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, from Odontoglossum X elegans X O. triumphans 
latisepalum, and now flowering in their establishment at Bruges. It most 
resembles O. X elegans, having very acuminate segments, but the lip is 
broader and shows the influence of the other parent. The ground colour is 
bright yellow, and the sepals and petals heavily blotched with deep brown. 
There is a trace of the characteristic O. cirrhosum shape about the base of 
the lip, and the apex is very acuminate. The column wings also show some 
of the same character, but they are much broader, and nearly entire. It is 
a very graceful hybrid. 
ODONTOGLOSsUM X HIAWATHA.—This is another handsome hybrid 
now flowering in the same establishment. It was derived from O. X 
elegans X O. Harryanum, and most resembles the latter parent in general 
character, except that the sepals and petals are more acuminate. Their 
ground colour is yellow, heavily blotched with brown. The lip is broad, 
light yellow, and spotted and marked with purple-brown at the base, while 
the crest is yellow, and has the characteristic Harryanum shape. The 
column wings are broad and somewhat acuminate in front. It should 
develop into a very fine thing. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X ARLEQUIN.—This is another very attractive hybrid, 
which was shown in the group of M. de Graire, of Amiens. at the Ghent 
Show. Its parents are recorded as O. X Fascinator x O.triumphans, and 
the flowers are clearly intermediate in character. They are good in shape, 
with the ground colour light yellow, very heavily blotched with light brown, 
while the lip most resembles O. triumphans. 
ODONTOGLOSSUM X NETHERNENSE.—A very charming hybrid, raised in 
the collection of R. G. Thwaites, Esq., of Streatham Hill, from O. 
Hunnewellianum X O. nobile (Pescatorei). It is comparable with O. X 
Adrianz in general character, but the lip is more distinctly pandurate, and 
the ground colour white, while the sepals and petals are very densely 
blotched all over with brown. The lip is broadly pandurate and white, very 
prettily fringed, with an irregular brown blotch in front of the yellow crest. 
The column wings are broad and entire. It is a very beautiful little 
hybrid. : | 
PAPHIOPEDILUM X _ VILLOSO-ROTHSCHILDIANUM, VAR. GAIETY.—A 
brightly coloured and very beautiful variety, now in the collection of W. 
Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, having been obtained from Messrs. 
Sander & Sons, Bruges, where we saw it bearing four beautiful flowers. 
The parents were P. villosum and P. Rothschildianum, whose characters are 
well combined in it. What gives it such a distinctive appearance is the
