An extremely handsome form of a hybrid orchid now comparatively well- Turner, Slough, 

 known among orchidists. It differs from the type in having handsome flowers of 

 an exquisite orange shade with tinges of scarlet, or rather, cinnabar-red, towards 

 the margins of the sepals and petals. The long and somewhat narrow lip is of a 

 curious shade of rosy crimson, and is wonderfully waved and crisped. The plant 

 shown bore five splendid flowers. F.C.C., R.H.S., May 10. Walter Cobb, Esq., 

 Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells.

L/KLIO- CATTLEYA FASCINATOR. 



A bold and handsome hybrid with soft rose-purple sepals and petals, and a 

 huge bright purple lip having a yellow throat. The sepals are very narrow, but 

 the petals very broad, though with reflexed margins. The lip has a white tube, 

 but a clear and soft yellow throat ; the apex is rounded, large, broad, and frilled, 

 deep and rich purple with pale margin. Obtained by crossing Leelia purpurata 

 with Cattleya Schroderre. F.C.C., R.H.S., May 10. Mr. Bond, gardener to 

 C. L. N. Ingram, Esq , Godalming. 



Spathoglottis aureo-Vieillardi. 



A beautiful orchid and one of great interest, for it is a hybrid between the two 

 species indicated by the name. The foliage is long and plicate, pale green ; flowers 

 two and three quarter inches across, sepals somewhat narrower than the petals, and 

 of a soft primrose tint with faint rose tips. The broad, rounded petals are of a 

 similar colour but plentifully strewn, save at the tips, with very tiny rose-purple 

 dots. The Hd has crimson side lohps edcrpd with ™n™,r «*. <-i*~i~ 1 .
