THE ORCHID WORLD. 



[Aujfust, 1914. 



yellow crest is a bright crimson blotch and 

 underneath it some radiating lines, all of 

 which are derived from M. vexillaria. The 

 column is formed in an upward position. 



Although the plant has taken some time to 

 acquire sufficient strength for the production 

 of its first spike of four flowers, it will 

 doubtless prove capable of remaining in 

 bloom for a considerable period, this being 

 one of the noted features of O. Uro-Skinneri. 



The creation of this hybrid has opened up 

 a wide field for future work in connection 

 with the allied genera. Practical tests will 

 soon prove whether it is capable of being 

 united with the various hybrids of Cochlioda 

 Noezliana. The raising of Odontioda Euterpe 

 (C. Noezliana x O. Uro-Skinneri) and 

 Miltonioda Harwoodii (M. vexillaria x C. 

 Noezliana) marks the initial stage ; the next 

 step will be the fusion of all three species. 

 The combination of Odontoglossum, Miltonia 

 and Cochlioda is known as Vuylstekeara, and 

 has more than once been effected. 



NEW HYBRIDS. 



Odontoglossum Troyanowski.e. — The 

 secondary hybrids of O. Edwardii are fast 

 reaching the flowering stage. This one is the 

 result of crossing Thompsonianum (Edwardii 

 X crispum) with Rolfeas. The flower still 

 shows traces of the somewhat narrow 

 segments, but this is more than made up by 

 the almost blackish purple blotches, which are 

 symmetrically arranged on all the segments. 

 Raised by Messrs. Sander and Sons. 



Odontioda Rubia. — An attractive hybrid 

 of rich red colour has been raised in the 

 collection of Mr. Richd. G. Thwaites, 

 Streatham Hill, by Mr. E. J. Hannington, who 

 sends us flowers of the same. The parentage 

 is Odm. Vuylstekei x Oda. Charlesworthii. 

 The reflexed labelluin carries a prominent 

 yellow crest, while the column is streaked 

 with reddish brown. 



Odontoglossum Uroanthum. — This is 

 the result of crossing O. Uro-Skinneri with 

 O. Kegeljani (polyxanthum), the flowers 

 being tawny yellow with brownish-red 

 markings on the sepals and petals, the 



labellum blotched with bright rose in the 

 centre and with spots of similar colour around 

 the margin. The spike carried seven flowers. 

 Raised in the collection of Mr. F. Menteith 

 Ogilvie, The Shrubbery, Oxford. 



L.elio-Cattleya Shogun. — The result 

 of crossing L.-C. Martinetti with L. tenebrosa, 

 and thus having a large proportion of the 

 tenebrosa colour. Raised by Messrs. Sander 

 and Sons. 



L.elio-Cattleya brugensis. — The 

 parentage of this hybrid is L.-C. Martinetti 

 and L.-C. luminosa, the flower being of buff 

 colour with purple suffusion on the labellum. 

 Raised by Messrs. Sander and Sons. 



OdONTOGLOSSUMS. — The following new 

 Odontoglossum hybrids have been raised by 

 Messrs. Sander and Sons: — Marathon 

 (amabile x eximium), Paulinus (altum x 

 armainvillierense), Lycidas (Andersonianum 

 X amabile). 



L/Elio-Cattleya Corncrake. — A very 

 pleasing addition to the golden-yellow 

 section, and resulting from L. Gwennie 

 (Jongheana x Cowanii) crossed with C. 

 Mossiae Remeckiana. Raised by Mr. H. G. 

 Alexander in the Westonbirt collection. 



Cattleya Irene. — A beautiful albino 

 produced by crossing C. Suzanne Hye de 

 Crom (Gaskelliana x Mossiae) with C. Mossiae 

 Wageneri. Exhibited at the Holland House 

 Show by Mr. J. Gurney Fowler. 



L.elio-Cattleya Constance. — By 

 crossing C. Mossiae with L.-C. bletchylensis 

 a very effective hybrid has been raised by 

 Messrs. Flory and Black and exhibited by 

 them at the Holland House show. 



L.elio-Cattleya Pallene. — This very 

 charming hybrid bears a strong resemblance 

 to some of the finest forms of C. Schroderae. 

 The parents are L.-C. Pallas and C. 

 Schroderae. Exhibited by Messrs. Flory and 

 Black under the name Sunset, which has been 

 previously used for Jongheana x Percivaliana, 

 but re-named as above. 



Cattleya Enchantress. — A very 

 attractive addition to the albinos. Exhibited 

 by Messrs. Mansell and Hatcher, Rawdon, 

 Leeds. The parents are intermedia alba and 

 chocoensis alba.
