flower of medium size, resulting from crossing 

 (". J^awrcnccana with L.-C. Myra. The sepals 

 and petals are rose-purple suffused with 

 cinnabar, the labellum lias the throat and disc 

 bright yellow, and with a broad band of 

 crimson-purple extending round the front 

 lobe and over the column. Raised by Mr. 

 Alwyn Harrison. 



Cattleya Mabel. — This very fine addi- 

 tion to the albino section has been raised by 

 Messrs. J. and A. McBean, the parents being- 

 Mrs. Myra Peeters and Warneri alba. 



L.elio-Cattleya San Juan. — Dr. 

 Miguel Lacroze has recently flowered this 

 fine hybrid between C. Mendelii and L.-C. 

 Aphrodite. 



Odontioda Earl Kitchener.— Oda. 

 BradshawijE and Odm. Rolfeas are the parents 

 of this new hybrid. Exhibited at the 

 Manchester Orchid Society, June 15th, igi6, 

 by Mr. S. Gratrix. 



OdONTOGLOSSUM I^UCILLA. — In this 

 hybrid between Pescatorei and percultum the 

 flower is exactly intermediate in character. 

 The white ground has lilac blotching on the 

 central area of the sepals and spotting on the 

 petals. The lip is principally that of Pesca- 

 torei, with basal lilac spotting. Flowered by 

 Mr. W. H. St. Quintin, Scarnpston Hall, 

 York. — dc B. Crawshay . 



ODONTOGLOSSUM WORSLEYI. — In this 

 elegant hybrid between amabile and miruni 

 the rose-purple blotching of the former parent 

 is carried forward, while the influence of 

 luteopurpureum, derived through mirum, is 

 shown in the attenuated labellum, with its 

 broad apex, and in the reddish-brown colour 

 of some of the blotches. In the collection of 

 Mr. PI. Worsley, Sherfin, Baxenden, near 

 Accrington. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM HAZELDENE. — The 

 parents of this are crispo-Harryanum and 

 Queen Alexandra (Harryanum x triumphans), 

 the latter producing the rich red-brown 

 blotching which almost covers the whole 

 flower. As may be expected, the labellum is 

 well-developed, with crimson spotting on a 

 yellowish ground. Flowered in the collection 

 of Mr. H. Worsley, Sherfin, Baxenden. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM RUTH G. WORSLEY. — 

 A painting of this very pretty hybrid between 

 amabile and harvengtense is sent by Mr. H. 

 Worsley. The broad segments are bright 

 yellow with reddish-brown blotching on the 

 inner two-thirds of their surface. The 

 labellum, pandurate in form, bears the charac- 

 teristic blotch of triumphans, derived through 

 the harvengtense parent, while on each side 

 of the yellow crest is some effective spotting. 



Cattleya Edala. — This pretty result has 

 been obtained by crossing Walkeriana with 

 Mendelii, the flower being of rosy-purjile 

 colour, with the labellum flatly displayed. 

 Raised in the collection of Mr. W. H. St. 

 Quintin (gr. Mr. F. C. Puddle), Scarnpston 

 Hall, Rillmgton, York. 



L.elio-Cattleya Egeria. — The parents 

 of this are C. Walkeriana and L.-C. Can- 

 hamiana, the rose-coloured flower having the 

 labellum tinged with rosy-mauve and with 

 darker veining. A peculiarity is the large 

 triangular, whitish area on the disc of the lip. 

 Raised m the collection of Mr. W. H. St. 

 Quintin, Rillmgton, York. 



L.^:lio-Cattleya Aglaia.— The result 

 of crossing L.-C. Wilfrediana (C. Aclandiae x 

 L. cmnabrosa) with L.-C. luminosa. The 

 sepals and petals rich cinnabar, the labellum 

 crimson with rose-purple on the side lobes. 

 Raised in the collection of Mr. W. H. St. 

 Quintin (gr. Mr. F. C. Puddle), Rillington, 

 York. 



Cypripedium niveum from Seed. — Not 

 content with the production of hybrids, the 

 seed-raisers are now taking an interest in the 

 production of fine species. Among those 

 who have taken up this work we may mention 

 Mr. F. C. Puddle, who has recently raised a 

 batch of about fifty plants of Cypripedium 

 niveum, the first to flower being of consider- 

 able promise, which suggest that some 

 superior to the normal type will in due time 

 be discovered. 



Cypripedium calceolus. — Mr. William 

 Stansfield, writing to the Gardeners 

 Chronicle, July 8th, describes how he found 

 this British Orchid growing wild in its native 

 habitat in the Yorkshire Highland. No
