Two elegant forms of O. Rossii are also 
sent from the same collection, one of which 
always produces two spikes of from four to 
six flowers on every new bulb. The flowers 
are large, especially the hp, with rich reddish- 
brown markings and the characteristic bright 
yellow callus or crest which, when transmitted 
to seedlings, as, for instance, in O. Jeanette, 
has proved itself to be a very attractive 
feature. The second variety is of the rare 
roseum variety, now so much sought after for 
hybridising purposes. All the segments of 
the flower are a beautiful rose colour, the hp 
having the additional charm of being veined 
with an even deeper tinge. It is of interest 
to mention that a rare natural hybrid between 
O. maculatum and O. Rossii roseum has been 
recorded by Reichenbach under the name 
O. aspersum violaceum, the lip of which was 
deep mauve-purple, and the petals sulphur- 
coloured, with a broad margin of light mauve- 
purple. 
NEW PLANTS. 
Ljelio-Cattleya Phyllis (C. Trianae x L.-C. 
Hippolyta).— A pretty flower of a soft flesh 
colour, the petals being slightly flushed with 
rose, the lip rosy-purple on the front lobe.

shown by M. Firmin Lambeau at the Meeting 
horticole de Gand, held on April 2nd, iqt I. 
Odontioda Cupid (C. Noezliana x O. ramo- 
sissimum). — The parents of this hybrid are 
both in strong evidence, although as yet in 
an immature state ; the cross was made in 
June, igo8, which allows less than three years 
from pollination to flowering. The sepals 
and petals are reddish-rose, the lip rose with 
a creamy-white crest. Exhibited by Messrs. 
Armstrong and Brown at the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society, April iith, 191 i.
