 tioda Cooksoniae received an Award of Merit

 Manchester Orchid Society, July 20th, igi6. 



Cattleya Rachel. — This majestic hybrid 

 has flowered in the collection of Mr. Philip 

 Smith, Haddon House, Ashton-on-Mersey, 

 whose gardener, Mr. E. W. Thompson, sends 

 on the bloom for our inspection. The 

 parentage is Syros (Enid x labiata) x Gaskel- 

 liana, and as Enid is a cross between 

 Warscewiczii and Mossias this new hybrid is 

 composed of four large-flowering species. 

 The immense flower has all the segments 

 equally well developed, the expansive 

 hp showing much of the Warscewiczii 

 characteristics. 



L.-elio-Cattleya General Sakharoff. 

 — A fine result from L.-C. callistoglossa and 

 C. Gaskelliana, the large rose-purple flower 

 having a wide hp with the throat bright 

 orange. Raised by Messrs. Charlesworth 

 and Co. 



L.elio-Cattleya Appam. — The result of 

 crossing L.-C. Scylla (C. Lord Rothschild x 

 L.-C. Cappei) and C. aurea. In colour terra- 

 cotta with rose suffusion, the lip crimson. 

 Raised by Messrs. Charlesworth and Co. 



L.elio-Cattleya General Letchitsky. 

 —A richly coloured hybrid between L.-C. 

 callistoglossa and L.-C. bletchlcyensis. 

 Raised by Messrs. Charlesworth and Co. 



Cattleya Nena. — This promising hybrid 

 was obtained by crossing C. Adula (bicolor x 

 Hardyana) with C. Dietrichiana (superba x 

 Hardyana), Messrs. Flory and Black being 

 the raisers. A special feature is to be seen in 

 the richly coloured and well-displayed lip. 



Odontoglossum merldenense. — In 

 recording this hybrid on page 210 one of the 

 parents was stated to be eximium, which is an 

 error. The correct parentage is percultum x 

 mirum, as recorded on page 216 in the report 

 of the Manchester Orchid Society for June 1st, 

 1916, on which date it was awarded a First- 

 class Certificate. 



Cattleya Loddorado.— A flower of this 

 elegant hybrid comes from Mr. C. J. Lucas, 

 of Warnham Court, Horsham, who raised it 

 from C. Loddigesii crossed with C. Eldorado. 

 The sepals and petals mauve-pmk, the tubular 

 labellum bright yellow mside, the front lobe 

 purple. This is a pleasing addition to the 

 Eldorado hybrids. 



Cattleya Kitty Wren.— This is a large 

 flower of a pleasing rose-purple colour, the 

 segments being well balanced and the 

 labellum broad and open. The parents are 

 Gaskelliana and Fabia. Raised by Messrs. 

 Charlesworth and Co. 



L.elio-Cattleya Lemberg.— The re- 

 sult of crossing L. tenebrosa and C. Germania 

 (granulosa x Hardyana). The wide flower has 

 the sepals and petals of a bronzy-buff tint, 

 the elongated labellum crimson-purple. 

 Raised by Messrs. Armstrong and Brown.
