﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW 



ones at the sides, nearly half of which extend into the white, Dormani- 

 anum, Green Bank var., with many small spots, half of which are purple, 

 owing to the restricted green area, Berryanum, a striking form described at 

 page 18, and six others, beside the magnificent Haretield Hall var., in which 

 the culminating point of development is reached, the flower measuring 

 5 J inches in diameter across the petals, while the dorsal sepal is three inches 

 broad. Lastly, the variety corrugatum is remarkable for its corrugated lip, 

 and Oddity (figured at p. 57 of our eighth volume), for its lip-like petals. 



The rest are hybrids. P. X Leeanum is represented by eight beautiful 

 forms, including superbum, giganteum, Clinkaberryanum, having a still 



latter are sent to show that no two are alike, presumably seedlings out 

 of the same batch. P. X nitens Wrigleyanum is excellent in form, and the 

 spots on the dorsal sepal are very small and dense, while in P. X n. aureum 

 they are over twice as large and not half as numerous, and there is a tinge 

 of yellow in the ground colour. Other striking forms are P. X Minos, P. X 

 Buchanianum, two forms of P. X aureum, the handsome P. X Titvus. P. 

 X Madame Jules Hye, and the richly-coloured P. X calloso-Warneri. 

 Finally must be mentioned two interesting seedlings. The first is from P. 

 X Mons. de Curte X Argus, and bears a close resemblance to P. x 

 Murillo, having both the dorsal sepal and petals very heavily blotched with 

 blackish brown. The other is derived from P. tonsum X niveum, but has 

 reproduced the former pure and simple. Whether it represents one 

 of those mysterious " false hybrids " or not is at present uncertain. 



Mr. Wrigley and his able gardener, Mr. Rogers, must be congratulated 

 on their success in cultivating this beautiful group.
