THE ORCHID WORLD. 
the combination of Bntssavola Digbyana with 
LseHa cinnabarina, both being strong domin- 
ating species of almost equal specific strength. 
The result has been a flower with a large, 
lairly open li[), but with narrow petals. 
Laelio-Cattlcya Charlesworthii (cinnabarina 
X aurea) attracted considerable attention 
when first produced, for, with the exception 
of the purple in the lip derived from Cattleya 
this will undoubtedly prove of value for 
future work. 
In Laelio-Cattleya Hippolyta (Mossiae x 
cinnabarina) we have still another good 
hybrid to record, and also of considerable 
interest, for the combination of cinnabarina 
with the large flowering Cattleya Mossia; has 
on several occasions contributed to the 
making of a really good hybrid. 
Lalio-Callleya Charlesworthii magnifica, received A.M., January 24lh, 1905. 
aurea, we have a hybrid devoid of the purple 
pigment which, in the case of the previously 
mentioned hybrids, has often produced flowers 
of such a muddy colour. 
Another distinct hybrid is Laslio-Cattleya 
Lady Miller (cinnabarina x gi-anulosa), the 
combination of cinnabarina with the olive- 
green sepals and petals of granulosa has pro- 
duced a pretty, coppery-yellow flower, and 
The Double Influence of One Species. 
We now come to what has proved to be of 
most valuable assistance to the hybridist's 
work, that of crossing the hybrid with one of 
its parents, and thus obtaining in the ne.xt 
generation a double influence of one species. 
We have previously observed that cinna- 
barina has, by its dominating influence.
