Cattleya X Maronii (J. E. Rothwell in Amer. Gard. xxii. p. 879, 

 fig. 180; 28/12/1901).— This hybrid was first raised by M. Maron in 

 1898, from C. velutina $ x C. Doiuiana aurea ^ . Sepals and petals 

 nankeen yellow, lip pale orange suffused rose, with crimson veins. The 

 photograph shows the pseudo-bulbs to be more like C. velutina, though 

 shorter and thicker ; as in C. velutina, each is two-leaved, though the 

 leaves are longer and narrower, as in C. Dowiana. In this case the 

 inflorescence is four-flowered ; but, curiously enough, the purple spots on 

 the sepals and petals and the white lip of C. velutina are quite obliterated.

 gardens in conjunction with the blue and lilac types. — C. T. D.
