 hybrid of rich yellow colour. The very broad 

 labellum is of similar colour, but lighter near

 C. Puddle has raised this new h)-bnd m the 

 Scampston Hall collection, Rillmgton, York.

 France, the latter being a hybrid between 

 tenebrosa and bicolor. The result is a large 

 flower of rich reddish-copper colour, the 

 labellum of purple with the throat crimson. 



Odontoglossum chryseum. — A very 

 pretty result, with golden flowers, obtained by 

 crossing nobile and excellens. Raised by 

 Messrs. Sander and Sons. 



Odontoglossum aurosum. — One of the 



prettiest additions to the )-ellow flowering- 

 section. The parents are cirrhosum and 

 excellens, yielding a golden-yellow flower 

 with the well-known cirrhosum habit. 

 Flowered by Mr. Harry Dixon, Wandsworth 

 Common. 



Odontoglossum .St. Bavon.— Messrs. 

 Sander and Sons have raised this hybrid 

 between Lambeauianum and gandavense.

 colour, as well as being of good shape. 



Odontoglossum Cyrus. — By crossing 

 Rolfeas with eximium an attractive hybrid has 

 been raised by Messrs. Sander and Sons.

 parents of this are Rolfeae and percultum, the 

 Harryanum species being plainly visible in 

 the resulting seedling. Raised by Messrs. 

 Sander and Sons. 



CyAIBIDIUM Dryad.— An interesting hybrid 

 between insigne and Parishii Sanderae, the 

 rose-white flower having a broad labellum, 

 which is lined with red on the front and side 

 lobes, the column being rose. Raised by Mr. 

 H. G. Alexander in the Westonbirt collection. 



Odontioda Margaret. — A charming 

 addition, the parentage being Oda. Brad- 

 shawias and Odm. ardentissimum. Raised in 

 the collection of Mrs. Cookson, Oakwood, 

 Wylam. 



L.ELIO-Cattleya Julia. — Messrs. Arm-

 buff, the purple lip being well displayed.

 Low and Co. have produced this hybrid 

 between Sophronitis grandiflora and L.-C. 

 Cranstoun^ (Harrisoniana x tenebrosa). The 

 flower IS of dark red colour, the shape 

 showing the influence of the tenebrosa species, 

 although much broader in the petals. 



Sophrocattl.t:lia Herbertil — The 

 result of crossing S.-L. heatonensis and 

 Cattleya F. W. Wigan. A pleasing flower of 

 rich red colour. Exhibited by Mr. H. S. 

 Goodson, Fairlawn, Putney. 



L.ELIO-CATTLEYA CapuA. — Messrs. Flory 

 and Black have recently flovi'ered this hybrid, 

 the parentage being L.-C. Hippolyta and C. 

 Warscewiczii. A hybrid with similar parents 

 was shown by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Sept. 

 2(5th, igii, under the name L.-C. Phoebus, 

 which, however, was not tenable, the same 

 name having" been previously used by Messrs. 

 Charlesworth and Co. for a cross between 

 L.-C. Cappei and C. Iris, shown by them 

 November loth, igo8. 



L.5:lio-Cattleya Cimon. — By crossing C. 

 aurea with L. Juvenilis (Perrinii x pumila) this 

 new hybrid has been raised in the collection 

 of Mr. F. Wellesley, Woking. 



L.t:liO-Cattleya Trajan. — Messrs. Flory 

 and Black have flowered this hybrid between 

 C. labiata and L.-C. Ingramii. A plant with 

 similar parentage was shown October 2gth, 

 1907, by Lieut.-Col. Sir George Holford, who 

 used the name Ulysses, but it did not appear 

 to be recorded, consequently the name Trajan 

 takes its place. It is well to mention that 

 L.-C. LTysses has since been used for a cross 

 between L.-C. Fascinator and C. Mossise. 



Sophrocattl.t:lia Gem. — An addition to 

 the red-flowering section has been made by 

 crossing Sophronitis grandiflora with L.-C.
