Cattleya Hecate. — Mr. F. C. Puddle 

 sends from the Scampston Hall collection, 

 Rillington, York, a two-flowered spike of 

 this new hybrid between C. Walkeriana and 

 C. labiata. Although resembling a small 

 variety of labiata, there is clear evidence of 

 the other parent to be seen in the shape of 



the petals, which, with the other segments, 

 are of rose-purple colour. There is a 

 peculiarity in the habit of C. Walkeriana 

 which distinguishes it from other Cattleyas ; 

 the flowers are not produced from the 

 summit of the bulbs, but from a small slender 

 shoot, growing to a height of i — ig inches, 

 which issues from the rhizome. When first 

 formed this shoot is clothed with green 

 scales, which, however, soon become dry ; 

 the flower-spike arises from the apex of this 

 shoot, and after the flowers have withered 

 a fresh bud is formed, which, in time, develops 

 into the new bulb. 



Odontoglossom crispum Piltianum.
