,, Harrisander. Award of Merit, R. H. S., July SiSth, 1890. 
Raised in the Collection. Without doubt one of the finest 
hybrids raised ; it is a cross between Gyp. Harrisanum 
superbum .x Cyp. Sanderianum, raised by Mr Winn, 
and well combines the characters of the two parents ; the 
leaves are marbled as in Harrisianum, and the scape 
bears three flowers, most like Sanderianum in shape, but 
with the curved petals broader, and 5 inches long, the 
colouring being much modified by the influence of the 
other parent The dorsal sepal is lined with purple-brown, 
on a greenish ground ; petals spotted with a similar colour, 
lip veined with pui'i)le. Fine plant, with 1 strong growth, 
7 leaves 1.5 15 0

H. Ballantine (Fairieanum x purpuratum). One of the 
best hybrids yet raised. The dorsal se[)al rather inclines 
towards C. purpuratum, while the purple longitudinal 
lines extend almost to the base, as in that species, with the 
transverse reticulations of C. Fairieanum in addition. 
The petals also resemble those of the seed parent in 
shape ; the dots of that species extend nearer to the apex 
in the hybrid, gradually passing into lines, on a light 
purple ground. The lip also resembles that of the same 
species, but without the keel. First-class Certificate from 
the R. H. S. Fine plant, with strong unflowered growth, 
5 leaves ... ... ... ... ... ... 19 12
