{Catt. Ilayrisonicc x Sop. grandifiora). A good description of 
this beautiful hybrid is gi\en in the September number 
' (1898) “Orchid Review,” page 270. The flower shows 
much of the character of C. Marrisoniae in the sepals and 
petals, the colour, however, being modified to clear, deep, 
brilliant, rose-purple, which also e.xtends to the front lobe 
of the lip, and round the margin of the side lobes. The 
disc and throat are bright yellow, passing to white towards 
the base.' In shape the lip shows a good deal of the 
Sophronites character. It is a brilliantly coloured and 
very charming little plant, (jrand plant, 7 fine bulbs,
