 Mons. Th. Pauwels. 



L.'ELIO - CATTLEYA MyROSA. — Messrs. 

 Armstrong" and Brown have produced this 

 iiybrid by crossing L.-C. Myra with L.-C. 

 luminosa. The flower is an improvement on 

 Myra, being hu'ge and h;iving bmadcr 

 segments. 



L/Elio-Cattleya Corneliensis. — This 

 attractive hybrid was recently exhibited by 

 the Earl of Craven. The pareiiis are L.-C. 

 Haroldiana (tenebrosa x Hardyana) and C. 

 Schroderae. The colour is delicate buff, the 

 outside of the throat and the front lobe of the 

 labellum being rose-purple. 



L.ELio - Cattleya Verona. — Messrs. 

 Flory and Black have recently flowered this 

 attractive hybrid between Lslia anceps and 

 Cattleya Hardyana. The flowers, which are 

 borne on an upright stem about one foot m 

 height, clearly show the anceps influence, but 

 the Hard\ ana has given colour as well as size 

 to the segments. 



L.ELio - Cattleya labiosa. — Messrs. 

 Cypher and Sons have recently exhibited 

 this useful hybrid between C. labiata and 

 L.-C. luminosa. The large flower has reddish- 

 purple segments, the labellum being unusually 

 large. 



Odontoglossum St Andre. — This is 

 the result of crossing Rio Tinto with 

 ardentissimum, the rich red-brown blotches 

 showing to advantage on the light ground 

 colour. Raised by Messrs. Sander and 

 Sons. 



Odontoglossum Vulcirrha. — A very 

 bright and pleasing addition to the cirrhosum 

 hybrids has been raised by Mr. Richd. G 

 Thwaites, Streatham. The parentage is 

 cirrhosum x Vuylstekei, resulting in a large 

 flower of bright golden-yellow colour with 

 brown spotting. As may be expected from 

 the use of cirrhosum the segments are long 

 and narrow. 



Odontoglossum Vulperulla. — By 

 crossing Vuylstekei with percultum, Mr. 

 Richd. G. Thwaites has produced a flower 

 with dull crimson blotches having a varnished 

 appearance. The influence of Vuylstekei has 

 yielded many excellent hybrids.
