time to time prove so necessary to amateurs. 
A useful addition to the work is a number 
of pages giving tabular details of many 
species and hybrids. It is worthy of note 
that the paper, type and general appearance 
of the work are fully equal to the importance 
of the subject. 
We offer our heartiest congratulations to 
Dr. Troyanowsky for the praiseworthy and 
practical manner in which he has encouraged 
the love and cultivation of Orchids in Russia. 
The Moscow Orchid Society has just reason 
to be proud of its President. 
NEW HYBRIDS. 
OdONTIODA DesDEMONA. — This has been 
produced by crossing Cochlioda Noezliana 
with Odontoglossum Othello (Harryanum x 
Adrianas). A very fine variety, in which 
the labellum was particularly well-developed, 
was exhibited by the raiser, Mr. de Barri 
Crawshay, at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
July 2gth, 191 3, when it obtained an Award 
of Merit. 
SCHOMBOL.'ELIA TiBIBROSA. — A very 
interesting hybrid between Schomburgkia 
tibicinis and Laslia tenebrosa. The tall, erect 
spike carried several large flowers, of a pecu- 
liar bronzy-orange colour, the lip brown-rose, 
with darker rose markings. Raised by 
Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., and interesting 
for being the first hybrid between the two 
genera. 
L^Lio - Cattleya Fleureu.-e. — A 
flower of this new hybrid comes from Mr. 
Eustace F. Clark, Evershot, Dorset. The 
parents are C. Loddigesii and L.-C. Agnes, 
the latter being a hybrid between L.-C. 
Schilleriana and L.-C. callistoglossa. In 
general appearance the flower resembles a 
large form of C. Loddigesii ; the labellum 
is prettily crimped at the margin, well open at 
the shoulders, and has a rich purple blotch 
on the front of the middle lobe. It is named 
in honour of Madame Fleureau, of Paris. 
Odontioda Hemptinneana. — A very 
beautiful hybrid between Cochlioda Noez- 
liana and Odontoglossum eximium, raised by 
Messrs. Sander and Sons, and exhibited by 
them at the recent Ghent Show. The large 
flower of solid red colour, very bright, and 
with a narow rose margin to the segments. 
Brassocattl.'ELIa amabilis. — Messrs. 
Sander and Sons have raised this hybrid 
between B.-L. Helen and L.-C. Martinetii. 
This useful addition to the section has bronze- 
rose sepals and petals, a broad, fringed lip, 
orange colour in the centre, and deep rose on 
the margin. 
Odontoglossum Atalanta. — With 
reference to Odontoglossum Hermione men- 
tioned on page 255, we have since heard that 
Mr. W. R. Lee, of Heywood, used this name 
for an Odontoglossum which was awarded 
a First-class Certificate at Manchester, in 
igio, although the parentage was not 
recorded at the time, and, we believe, has not 
yet been stated. To prevent confusion, 
Messrs. Sander have decided to call their 
hybrid between Edwardii and ardentissimum 
by the name Atalanta instead of Hermione. 
Cattleya Van Houtte. — This new 
hybrid, between C. Warscewiczii and C. Lord 
Rothschild, obtained a Silver Medal when 
exhibited by Count Joseph de Hemptinne 
at the Ghent Show, August, 1913. The 
flower was of great width, of rose-purple 
colour, the broad labellum dark crimson with 
gold veining. A fine result. 
L^lio-Cattleya Jessica.— a beautiful 
result obtained by crossing L.-C. Clive (C. 
aurea x L. pumila) with C. aurea, and 
flowering in Mr. E. R. Ashton's collection, 
Camden Park, Tunbridge Wells. The light 
mauve flower has a large labellum, round 
which extends a broad margin of purple, the 
shoulders of the lip being equally well 
coloured. 
L.'Elio-Cattleya Elsie Lemare. — A 
spring flowering hybrid, raised from L.-C. 
Euphrosyne and C. Mendelii. The seedling 
is five years old, and when exhibited 
at the Royal Horticultural Society, May 
14th, 191 3, bore a spike of three flowers, 
the sepals and petals blush-pink, the lip rose- 
purple, with a deep yellow throat. Raised 
by Mr. C. Ahvyn Harrison.
