NEW HYBRIDS. 



Brasso-Cattleya Lady IIanbury. - 

 I here are several niuch-prix.ecl varieties ol 

 species that ha\'e all the segments ol their 

 flowers uniformly coloured, and to which the 

 \arietal name concolor, meaning" similar in 

 colour, has been given. In these, the colour, 

 whether it be intense or otherwise, is evenl)' 

 distributed over the whole flower, the labellum 

 being no darker than the other segments. So 

 far the hybridist does not appear to have 

 attempted the production of anything of 

 similar nature, consequently there is a wide 

 field open to- those who care to experiment in 

 this direction. An excellent example of this 

 class is Brasso-Cattleya Lady Hanbury, the 

 result of crossing C. Mantinii (Bowringiana x 

 aurea) with B.-C. Mdme. Chas. Maron (B. 

 Digbyana x C. Warscewiczii), and which has 

 recently been raised in the collection of Mr. 

 Frederick J. Hanbury, Brockhurst, East 

 Grinstead, and named in honour of his cousin. 

 at La Mortola. The large flower resembles 

 in form the general habit of Brasso-Cattleyas, 

 the expansive and fringed labellum being the 

 conspicuous feature. But the most attractive 

 point in this particular flower is the pleasing 

 delicate rose-mauve tint evenly suffused 

 throughout all the segments, and imparting a 

 chastely appearance. It is one of the best 

 hybrids of the concolor type. 



L.klio-Cattleya Miss Dorothy 



BUSHELL. — A pretty hybrid between L.-C. 

 Bryan (crispa x Gaskelliana) and C. aurea. 

 The influence of L. crispa is very marked, 

 while C. aurea is responsible for much of the 

 rich coloration of the labellum Raised in the 

 collection of Mr. Frederick J. Hanbury, 

 Brockhurst, East Grinstead. 



L.elio-Cattleya Atina. — A useful 

 addition to the yellow-flowering section has 

 been raised by Messrs Armstrong and Brown, 

 l unbridge Wells, by crossing C. aurea with 

 I^.-C". L^usitania (Phryne x Iris). Many of the 

 \arieties frf)m this seed-pod have fleshy 

 flowers which last well after being cut. 



L.elio-Cattleya Attica. — The result 

 of crossing C. aurea and L.-C. Dumatii 

 (clegans x tenebrosa). The seedlings show 



considerable diversity m lial)it of growth and 

 coloration. Raised by Messrs. Armstrong and 

 Brown, Tunbridge Wells.

 \arieties of this very pretty hybrid come from 

 the raiser, Mr. F. C. Puddle, Scampston Hall 

 Gardens, Rillington. The parents are ('. 

 Maggie Raphael alba and C. aurea, yielding 

 a light rose coloured flower with a handsome 

 labellum of bright rose-purple and gold. It 

 is a hybrid of considerable promise. 



Brasso-Cattleya sulphurea. — The 

 result of crossing C. Gaskelliana alba with 

 B.-C. Mrs. J. Leemann. Exhibited by Mr. 

 R. Ashworth at the Manchester Orchid 

 Society, November 5th, 1914. 



L/ELIO-CaTTLEYA EuRYALUS. — A very 

 pleasing hybnd between L.-C. Canhamiana 

 Rex and C. Warneri alba, which has been 

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

 Ouintin, Scampston Hall, Rillington, York. 

 Sepals and petals silvery-white, the broad 

 labellum mottled with bright rose-ixirple as 

 usually seen in C. Mossiae, one of the parents 

 of Canhamiana. 



CyPRIPEDIUM AstARTE. —This charming 

 hybrid between Psyche (niveum x bellatulum) 

 and insigne Sandera? has been raised by Mr. 

 F. C. Puddle in the Scampston Hall Collec- 

 tion, Rillington, York. The fleshy flower is 

 white, the basilar portions of each segment 

 and the labellum shaded and veined with light 

 greenish-straw colour, while there are some 

 very minute purple spots on the lower portion 

 of the dorsal sepal and on the inner parts of 

 the petals. The orbicular dorsal sepal is 

 almost equalled m size and shape by the 

 lateral petals and ventral sepal, thus giving
