THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



93 



ZYGOCOLAX x VEITCHII. 



A GOOD plant of this handsome hybrid has just flowered in the 

 collection of Sir Frederick Wigan, Bart., Clare Lawn, East Sheen, 

 producing two spikes, and Mr. Young states that it is the one called 

 variety Kromeri. to which an Award of Merit was given by the K.H.S. in 



Colax jugosus, in the establishment of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons. So 



wild plant a variety even, so close is the resemblance. It has long been 



Brazil, but we do not renumber any previous evidence that they actually 

 grew intermixed, such as is now afforded. It is a very interesting and 

 beautiful hybrid, the flower having an expanse of three inches, and the 

 sepals and petals being green densely spotted with dark brown, while the 

 lip is white closely veined with violet-purple. It has also an excellent 

 constitution. R. A. R.
