ODONTOGLOSSUM 

 ADRIANO-TRIUMPHANS 



This hybrid \v;is raised by Mr. Charles- 

 worth, and shown by him at the R.H.S., 

 February 13th, 1906. It has since been 

 raised by others, but as a "fine thing" of 

 these days it does not rank <at all ; neverthe- 

 less, it has enabled us to prove a hybrid which 

 is apparently very rare in a wild state. 



I never saw a wild specimen that was so 

 evidently the result of the two parents till 



Mr. Cooper, Mr. Sander's keen-eyed factotum, 

 sent me one a couple of days ago. Of course, 

 there must have been many of it, as in 

 their native habitat crispum, triumphans and 

 Hunnewellianum grow altogether, and as 

 there are so many Adrianaes and harveng- 

 tenses there must of necessity l)e many of 

 the subject of this note. 



By reviewing backwards with the aid of the 

 light thrown upon them by the hybridist, I 

 am much inclined to consider many of the 

 very heavily blotched Adrianass are of similar 

 parentage to {hh.—<^e B. Crawskay.
