x L. cinnabarina).--Bright orange with a rosy purplish tinge. The lip red-purple, much frilled. _L.-C. Zephyra_ (Catt. Mendelii x L. xanthina).--All Nankin yellow except the crimson disc, which has a pale margin. _L.-C. Amesiana_ (L. crispa x Catt. maxima).--White washed with amethyst. Lip purple-crimson fading towards the margin. _L.-C. Exoniensis_ (Catt. Mossiae x L. crispa).--White flushed with rosy mauve. Lip purple-crimson. _L. x Yula_ (L. cinnabarina x L. purpurata).--Scarcely larger than cinnabarina, bright orange, the petals veined and flushed with crimson. The lip of size proportionate--that is, small--shows more of the purpurata influence in its bright crimson disc. _L. x Yula inversa_ (L. purpurata x L. cinnabarina).--The same parentage but transposed. More than twice as large as the other and spreading, but thin. Sepals of the liveliest orange, petals agreeably tinged with purple. On the long narrow lip this pink shade deepens almost to red. Upon the whole, neither of them is to be commended for its own sake, but the brilliant orange of cinnabarina is retained so perfectly that both will prove valuable for hybridising. _C. x Our Queen_ (Catt. Mendelii x unknown).--Sepals and petals white, faintly flushed. In the throat, of brightest yellow, are several brown lines. The upper part of the lip is crimson, the disc purple. _L.-C. Empress of India_ (L. purpurata Brysiana x Catt. Dowiana).--Sepals and petals rose, tinged with violet at the ends, lip large, spreading, of the richest crimson-purple. _L.-C. Leucoglossa_ (Catt. Loddigesii x L.-C. fausta).--Rose-pink. Lip white, touched with yellow in the throat. _L.-C. Henry Greenwood_ (L.-C. Schilleriana x Catt. Hardyana).--Sepals and petals cream-coloured, tinged with pink, the latter veined with rosy purple. Lip purple with yellow throat. _L.-C. Canhamiana_ (Catt. Mossiae x L. purpurata).--White tinged with mauve. Lip crimson-purple, with a narrow white margin, crisped. _L.-C. Pallas superba_ (L. crispa x Catt. aurea).--Dark rose. Lip purple in the throat, golden in the disc, finely striped with crimson. _C. x Wendlandiana_ (Catt. Bowringiana x Catt. gigas).--Bright soft rose, lip purple-crimson with two yellow 'eyes' beneath the tube. _C. x Cecilia_ (Catt. Lawrenceana x Catt. Trianae).--Sepals and petals deep violet, throat buff changing to violet, disc purple. _C. x Louis Chaton_ (Catt. Trianae x Catt. Lawrenceana--the same parentage
