ODONTOGLOSSUM EVA. 
cirrhosum X Kegeljani. 
To sum this hybrid up shortly is to ciill it 
Hke a very fine form of elegans, but when 
placed by this natural hybrid there are several 
differences easily recognisable, in crest and 
column especially. 
Eva has a creamy-yellow ground in all its 
segments, the markings being of a rich deep 
blackish-brown, the base of the hp being a 
deep chrome-yellow 
Eva, of course, is a very close relation of 
elegans, but the latter, no doubt, was a wild 
cross of cirrhosum and cristatum. 
As both the species and Kegeljani grow- 
together there is no reason why they should 
not have intercrossed many times, and in a 
minor degree created confusion, as crispum 
and its allies have done further to the north. 
Mr. Charles J. Lucas, of Warnham Court, 
Horsiham, raised Eva, and has thereby 
thrown light upon another " nat. hyb." which 
will be much appreciated by all who are 
vainly attempting to keep Odontoglossum 
[)arcntage clear.

GEMMATUM. 
Another of Mr. Sander's decorative plants, 
rhe bloom is three inches across, of perfect 
starry form, bright yellow, heavily barred and 
spotted deep brown, with the characteristic 
l^asilar brown marks all round the base of the 
column, one of the best identifications of 
triumphans parentage. The lip is of elegans 
iorm, having one large blotch of lustrous red- 
l)rovvn, with }ellow base and apex.
