THE ORCHID WORLD 
NEW PLANTS. 
Brasso - Laelio-Cattleya Triune [L. - C. 
Hyeana (L. purpurata x C. Lawrenceana) x 
B.-C. Digbyano-Schroderas]. — A large flower 
of rosy-mauve colour with a fringed lip 
marked with purple. Exhibited by Sir 
Trevor Lawrence, Bart, K.C.V.O., at the 
Royal Horticultural Society, April 25th, igii. 
Odontoglossum ramos-Eclwardii (ramosis- 
simum x Edwardii). — A graceful free-flowering 
hybrid with a spike of ninety-five pinkish - 
mauve flowers, the segments being blotched 
on the inner and spotted on the outer half 
with purple, the crest is creamy-white. 
Exhibited by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., 
K.C.V.O., at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
April 2Sth, igii, when it obtained an Award 
of Merit. 
Odontoglossum bella (crispum x bella- 
tulum). — A series of nine plants, showing) 
great variation, was exhibited by J. S. Moss, 
Esq., at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
May 9th, igii. These were of interest, for 
the cross was made with the idea of pro- 
ducing blotched crispums with the aid of 
O. tripudians, one of the parents of O. 
bellatulum. Many of the flowers closely 
resembled crispums, but had a somewhat 
larger, fringed lip, otherwise they showed 
little evidence of the O. tripudians. 
Brasso-Leelio-Cattleya King Emperor (B.- 
L. Digbyano-purpurata x L.-C. Dominiana). 
— A large flower exhibiting many of the 
characteristics of La?lia purpurata. The 
sepals and petals are rosy-lilac, the lip broad 
and fringed, being well coloured with purple, 
and having gold lines derived from the 
Cattleya aurea, one of the parents of L.-C. 
Dominiana. Exhibited by Francis Wellesley, 
Esq., at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
May 9th, igi I. 
Lslio-Cattleya Nereus (L. Jongheana x 
L.-C. Pallas. — A fairly large flower with 
mauve sepals and petals, the lip marked with 
purple on the front, and with yellow on the 
side lobes. The throat is conspicuously 
marked with yellow keels as m Jongheana. 
Raised and flowered by Messrs. Armstrong 
and Brown, Tunbridge Wells. 
ODONTIODA BOLTON II. 
O. Vuylstekeas X C. Noezliana. 
This elegant Odontioda, which was exhi- 
bited at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
March 28th, 191 1, has the back of the petals 
marked with a broad yellowish-white stripe 
similar to that seen on Odontoglossum Vuyl- 
stekeae. This makes the back of the flower 
nearly as pretty as the front part. The 
colour IS rather distinct, owing to the break- 
ing up of the rosy-scarlet on a bright yellow 
ground, and, being perfectly flat, every part 
of the flower is visible. The petals are very 
thick and fleshy. The shoulders of the lip 
are very broad, of a scarlet colour, much 
larger than those usually seen in the Coch- 
lioda hybrids, and resemble a pair of scarlet 
wings, which makes it a very distinct hybrid. 
It seems to be the forerunner of a very 
handsome race of these hybrids, and as a 
chance cross it shows the possibilities of the 
future in Odontiodas. From this result we 
may expect to have some exceedingly beau- 
tiful flowers in the near future
