and if the parentage is rightly given it should be a form of L.-c. Aureole. 
The size and shape, however, recall L.-c. Charlesworthii rather than C. X 
Iris, and we suspect was one of the parents. The flower is rather over four 
inches across, and the sepals and petals reddish orange, while the lip is ofa 
-brilliant ruby crimson, inclining to deep rose, with some yellow veining in 
the throat. The other two are probably new. Cattleya labiata x L.-c. 
bletchleyensis has large rose-purple sepals and petals, and a richly coloured 
lip, most like C. labiata in general shape and marking. The other is said 
to be from C. Mossiz xX L.-c. Henry Greenwood, and has rosy purple 
sepals and petals, while the front lobe of the lip is rosy lilac, reflexed, much 
crisped, and has Mossiz-like purple veining. The throat is rather open, 
and light yellow, with purple veining on the disc, while the margin of the 
side lobes is lilac. They form a very handsome group. 
ORCHIDS IN SEASON. 
A very large and beautiful form of Cattleya labiata is sent from the 
collection of Mrs. T. Fielden, Grimston Park, Tadcaster (gr. Mr. Bound). 
It is of excellent shape, and the sepals and petals are bright rose-purple. 
while the front of the lip is of the richest purple-crimson, the colour extend- 
ing well back into the throat. It is suggested as closely resembling the one 
called C. 1. Brilliant. 
Several interesting Orchids are sent from the collection of J. J. Neale, 
Esq., of Penarth, by Mr. Hadden, including a large branching panicle of 
the graceful Seraphyta multiflora, which is said to be one of four borne by 
the plant. Paphiopedilum is represented by a twin-flowered scape of P. 
callosum, P. insigne Ernestii, P. Spicerianum, and a very dark form of P. 
Fairrieanum, and Oncidium by O. varicosum Rogersii, O. excavatum, O. 
pretextum, and O. ornithorhynchum. Of the Epidendrum group may be 
mentioned E. nocturnum and E. ciliare, with Lelia pumila and L. Dayana, 
and the brilliant Sophronitis grandiflora. Other interesting things are 
Vanda ccerulea and V. Kimballiana, Dendrobium infundibulare and D. 
mutabile, the striking Ccelogyne barbata, Cochlioda vulcanica, Odonto- 
glossum Lindleyanum, O. tripudians, and O. xX Adriane, Zygopetalum 
maxillare, Phalaenopsis amabilis, Bulbophyllum Careyanum, the curious 
Masdevallia muscosa, Platyclinis Cobbiana, Stenoglottis longifolia, and the 
curious little West African Polystachya Adansoniz. 
Dendrobium Phalzenopsis is a most useful and beautiful autumn-flowering 
Orchid, though in urban districts it is at times disappointing, because, like 
the Calanthes and species of Phalzenopsis, it is rather susceptible to fog. 
Three nice forms are sent from the collection of J. B. H. Goodden, Esq., 
Manor House, West Coker, Yeovil, one of them being a pretty light form 
veined with purple on the lip, and tinged with the same colour on the
