THE ORCHID WORLD. 
[April, 1913. 
BrassO-CattLEYA FULGENS. — A charm- 
ing flower has been raised by Messrs. Sander 
and Sons with the use of C. Maggie Raphael 
and B. Digbyana. The former parent is a 
hybrid between Trianae and aurea. The 
influence of the fringed hp of Digbyana and 
of the rich coloration of the aurea will be very 
apparent. 
Odontioda Red Riding Hood. — A very 
pretty hybrid between Od. Rossii majus and 
Odontioda Bradshawi^ has recently been 
flowered by Mr. F. M. Ogilvie, The Shrubbery, 
Oxford. As is often the case with Rossii 
hybrids this species has predominated, 
although the Bradshawias is visible in the 
shape and coloration. 
Odontoma Langoivoyi. 
OdonTONIA LangOWOYI. — This new and 
interestnig hybrid is the result of crossnig 
Odontoglossum Uro-Skinneri with Miltonia 
Schroderiana. A reference to the illustration 
of this latter parent will show to what extent 
the very peculiar nature of the upright 
formed petals is transferred to the hybrid. 
While the two genera appear at first sight 
somewhat diverse, they are closely related 
geographically, both being Central American, 
the Uro-Skinneri coming from Guatemala 
and the Schroderiana from Costa Rica. The 
sepals and petals of Langowoyi are fleshy, 
green at the back with occasional spotting of 
red-brown, the tips being yellow. The front 
of these segments is of shining crimson-brown, 
and when held up to the light the whole surface 
is marked with obscure blotching. The 
labellum has the basal part blotched with 
crimson-purple, and the broader apical half is 
white with a few crimson spots. The back of 
the lip has considerably more spotting, and, 
as may be seen in the illustration, this 
is only obscurely visible from the front side. 
The column is arched and rose coloured. 
Odontonia Langowoyi bears the name of its 
cwner, Mr. A. Langowoy, a keen Russian 
amateur. Miltonioda Ajax (Cochlioda 
Noezliana x Miltonia Schroderiana) is another 
interesting hybrid which has the petals formed 
in the same upright manner. 
Brassocattl.5;lia Figaro. — A useful 
addition to the yellow-flowering section has 
been raised in the Westonbirt collection by 
Mr. H. G. Alexander, who has crossed 
Brasso-Lselia Jessopi (xanthina x Digbyana) 
with Brasso-Cattleya Mrs J. Leemann 
(aurea x Digbyana). The first plant to 
bloom has rather starry flowers, but of thick 
substance, as usually seen in Jessopi. The 
yellow colour is equally suffused over the 
whole surface. 
Odontoglossum James O'Brien. — A 
very unusual cross has been raised and 
flowered by Mr. Eric Davidson, Tw)ford, 
Berks. The parents are Duvivierianum and 
harvengtense ; both are natural hybrids, the 
former between nebulosum and maculatum, 
the latter between crispum and triumphans. 
The ground colour is golden-yellow, evenly 
blotched with chocolate-brown. The large 
lip has the immense blotch so characteristic 
of triumphiins. The influence of maculatum 
is to be seen in the shape and keeling on the 
back of the sepals. 
L.elio-Cattleya Valeria. — A rather 
unusual colour has been produced m this 
hybrid by crossing L.-C. luminosa with L.-C. 
Dora (Schroderje x Hippolyta). The terra- 
cotta segments have a pleasing soft red tint 
suffused over their whole surface. The 
Schroderae parent appears to have a softening
