MAXWELL T. MASTERS, M. D.; F. R. S.; F. L. S.;

My Dear Sir,

Just ten years have passed since the day that you laid
your hand upon my shoulder and lead the way to the
room where the Scientific Committee of the Royal
Horticultural Society in South Kensington met. Just ten
years. It is Sunday to-day. I look from my desk over
the snowcapped peaks of the Sierras in the direction of
the land where you reside. Quietness reigns around
me. There is not a soul near but my dear wife under-
neath the window, busy trimming dying branches out
of her flower bushes. The sun is setting beyond over
the Pacific Ocean hundreds of miles away, but still to
be recognized from my lofty Alp. — I come to you. I
hear the bells ring as of yore, when I first caught sight
of your fair land. I was coming up the Thames on that
Sunday morn after I bid farwell to my native land.
Dear Sir, lay again your hand upon my shoulder and
press my right with the other as you did when first we
met. I breathed the air of this grandest of all churches
with its high, azure dome, and still fresh with this air,
still reverend with the impression of my mountain
home, I come to you with a gift, praying for its accept-
ance.

See here this book: A list of Orchid Hybrids, com-
plete and classified. Do not use the few moments of
our meeting with its perusal, but let rne say a few words
with my gift. My book has two qualities: copiousness

and system. And two reasons exist for my gift: respect
and friendship. Accept out of respect the labor part,
the gathering of so much material. You are a worker,
and your hidden hand as an editor has done more ser-
vice to our gardening-world than the thousands of readers
of your journal have a full conception of. There is but
one " Gardeners' Chronicle " and you are its molder. I
do not want to rank my humble work with your achieve-
ments; far from it. But I believe it honest, enough to
be dedicated to you, as a sign of respect and acknowl-
edgement out of the wide circle of those who appreciate
your service to our profession. The other reason is one
of personal character: accept, out of friendship, the dedi-
cation of the systematical, the genial part of my work.
Its idea, its classification is my own. Whatever its
success in the way of reception by outsiders may prove
to be, will you take it from me as a sign, an humble
proof of my gratefulness for kindnesses extended upon
me? Please, do not waive the idea. I have experienced
more than once what it is to be cast upon a rugged shore
and receive succor from an unlocked for direction. One
word of encouragement spoken at the proper time, goes
further than riches towards satisfaction in this struggle
for existence. Ten years have passed over the land; and
vivid like my love for orchids was the remembrance of
your kindness.

Dear Sir, I thank you for your friendly reply. I do
not hear any longer the pealing of your Abbey's bells.
There is but one up-train on Sunday and I cannot
afford to miss it. I live a lonely life, lonely because I
have no occasion to discuss with fellow-thinkers the
changes of this life and world. But I live with you and
for you, and as a proof of my existence see here this little
tribute of leisure hours. Time has wrought its changes

with you since we met last. Take from me the wish
that fate may be gentle with you and give you still many
years in enjoyment of your favored pursuits. — I? 0
never mind about me. We human beings have all our
share of burdensome times. I have been side-tracked
for years; and if my mind has been forced to abandon
its flight for a period, let me tell you the glorious truth:
I live a happy home life. I had occasion to show my
wife a few orchids, 'and tell her about the rest. She is
a soul like the character that dwells in our spectabile
ladyslipper. I promised her to take her to your land
and show her your treasured orchids. I trust that day
will come, and may fate grant that we find you well and
hearty. Farewell! —

Our sun here has set. There is no noise to be heard
but the crickets in the grass and the ringing of my cow's
bell from the pasture below. My dear wife has left her
pansy-bed, and I hear the solemn strains of Chopin's
Funeral March, a favored tune of mine. I have to
leave my desk and pass the rest of this Sunday in my
wife's company. Farewell again

from sincerely yours

After All.

"After all," are the words of the orchid cultivator,
when reading the announcement of my list. It has
been embarrassing for him to read, hear and be talked
to about this, that and the other orchid hybrid, and not
as much as an enumeration, not to say classification,
was to be had in print of any nation's tongue.*

"After all," so sighs the raiser of hybrids, the man
who recognizes the value of an artificially raised orchid.
He did not know for certain which crosses had been
perfected, and without a guide like my list, he could
work in the dark only, and even then despair of light
coming to him after years of hard and trying work.

"After all," so exclaims the man acquainted with
my intention of compiling this list, for already so long

a time that he gave up ever hearing about the realization
of my plan, though he had given me in good faith and
with pleasure the use of his "record" in the hybrid
raising community of orchid growers.

" After all." Let me too vociferate thus, and breathe
a sigh of relief. I was nothing more or less than one
of those hundreds of young enthusiasts, to be found
where orchids have a home in the glass-structures of the
plant-loving nations. But it was only a short while
until I perceived the necessity of keeping track of those
" mules " springing up all around us ever since Dominy
and Seden achieved their first successes. The nucleus
of my collection of notes on orchid hybrids was formed
in the year 1884; just ten years ago this month. — Did you
not read about the stick of tropic-grown wood washed
upon the shores of your Isle of Wight? So with me. I was
reared and grew up thousands of miles away from where
I landed in this my resting place. Like the stick that
you picked up and tried to trace the origin of, so have
1 been tossed about by the gulf-stream of fate, and grew
rugged and rough, dancing and floating in the whirl-
pools of this life's waters. But hidden under the smooth,
indiscernible outside of water-worn bark, I had concealed
the marrow of my strength, the value of my life. The
sheltering spinal column grew crooked, and the capability
of erection is very much impeded, but in this dwarfed state
of brain and life I still retain the character of my kind.
You can still tell by the grain of your stick where the
soil should be found that gave nourishment to its roots.
— It is but a trifling addition to our knowledge, this my
hybrid list. But it is the best I am able to produce
under the circumstances. You who knew about my
plan, do not call little the effort made by me. I have
guarded and nourished carefully and lovingly the nu-

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 11

cleus of my list through a succession of ten years. I
have added and revised; I have stopped and entirely
suspended the work begun then, saying to myself over
and over again: ere you place this list before the public
ten others will be ready likewise. None of them made
their appearance. And again I stuck to my plan. A
year ago last Xmas, that was the time when you should
have had my list on your table of gifts. But the funds
to cover the expense of printing (I learned long before
this that I had to be my own publisher) they have been
taken from me after being for years before my very eyes.
Did you, my reader, ever perform work and did not re-
ceive the duly earned remuneration? 1 can sing a
goodly song of such experience, the refrain of which
sounds something like: Such are the ways of the
predatory well-to-do. Still, time heals all sores, and
once more approached the day when the messenger from
my recluse should go forth. But in all of us is yet
fresh the remembrance of what the papers love to term
" hard times." This course of civilization, this gradu-
ally brought about accumulation of conditions and cir-
cumstances to rearrange the social positions of millions,
to please the trifling fancies of the ll upper four-hun-
dred," it approached me while my hand clutched the
glittering metal saved, saved and saved again to pay for
my pet's outfit: and my grip loosened when it came to
the question of holding above water the head of the
only other one born by those whom I call father and
mother. This song has the well-known refrain: Such
are the ways of the generous hand-to-mouth.

(P. S. — April 27, 1895. One more year has passed,
and it is just one span of twelve months since I, driven
by desperation, stood before a son of Sem and asked
him to loan me the required funds to carry on the print-

12 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

ing of what now, after it seems a decade, will shortly
appear before you. — A son of Sem. — I never knew per-
sonally of a generous, unselfish trait of that race to a son
of Ham or Japhet. But I had heard from a man whose
every word I would endorse and spread as gospel, that
this man, a glittering member of the jeunesse dorec,
was the only representative of all his society companions
who could be lookexl up to as a man of higher principles.
To him I went. Not humble; I was not begging. Not
proud; I was petitioning. Petitioning for what? For
a paltry loan of a few hundred dollars, on interest which
would admit breathing under. He knew' of me; he
knew my salary; he knew what position I held. And I
knew that he had the disposal of not hundreds of thou-
sands, nay, millions. — I went to him, and went from
him. Not angry with him; I knew better. Angry at
me for having gone against my conviction, my positive
opinion of judging of his kind with the right measure.
Twelve months have passed. The 'Gardeners' Chronicle
has brought a list of hybrid Cypripediums. Mr. Meas-
ures has felt induced to publish a second edition of his
list, and now comes the Orchid Review with its first in-
stallment of Selenipedia. Twelve months of waiting,
of saving, of fearing. Twelve more, and my manu-
script would remain where it is. If any of my readers
know what it is to have once lived in affluence, and
to be reduced to need, if he knows that, conditions a
hundred times worse than to have been poor at all times:
he better join with me into the most damning curse
which ever has been pronounced over riches. The
French Revolution of crime and murder may have been
nasty to those subjected to the blind folly of an em-
bittered mob. But, poor creatures, with all your terrible
deeds, you can never equal in ten such periods the see-

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 13

ing, the calculated, the premeditated cruelty of the rich
reigning over and corrupting amongst us. — It is glorious
satisfaction to know that a day of reckoning is bound
to come ere night settles around us.)

Do not mind the spoiling of so much paper through
relating of personal grievances. But I have wo*rked
with hundreds of my acquaintances in rank and file,
and to them I owe an explanation how the quiet scient-
ist of their knowledge has developed into a politician
after disappearing for so long a time, as if swallowed
by an abyss. If I still cling to the plan of this my
orchid hybrid list through all these trials, forgive me if
I maintain that my effort was not a small one.

Reason for Writing this Book.

That the interest in orchids is general and on the
increase was already manifest ten years ago, and it is
more than ever so this very day. I do not like to call
this state a sport, a fashion. No, I see in the increase
of the interest taken in orchids a higher standard of
taste and judgment of the plant-loving world. There
are a large number of species of plants from all regions
of the globe in cultivation which have quite as peculiar
a way of growing as our orchids, though perhaps for
them as a genus we claim a more general interest in
their oddity, but I have found the most just solution for
this problem in the character of the orchid flower. My
ideas upon that subject were put into words ten years
ago, and as I was then more direct under the influence
of observing these plants and their flowers, I do not
like to rewrite my words from those days but give at
another place in translation what belongs more cor-
rectly here.

14 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

The advance-guard of the army of orchid hybrids
which has been arriving with us in the early sixties, has
been followed by a steady increase of their number until
now we almost despair of ever getting order into the
leadership-lost legions. The Cypripedia-crosses, which
have been recorded by me, pass the thousand mark. If
I should be told that I come too late with my effort to
restore order in this vastness of accumulated material,
I feel satisfied such voice must come from a man who
has been baffled in the attempt to sift the multitude of
varieties for himself. I agree with him that it is a great
pity that a weeding out of this bed of plant-names has
not taken place before this, but what is this wilderness
grown up in the past thirty years to what it will be only
three years hence? We can not take up a journal with-
out finding reference made to the hundreds, nay, thou-
sands of seedlings growing up in every collection where
orchids find a home. Like the cat in Scheffel's Trum-
peter from Saekkingen, remarks:

Seinen Hausbedarf an Liedern
Reimt ein jeder selbst sich heute

so does everybody who devotes a few square yards of
glass to orchid culture try to raise his homeconsume of
hybrids. It is, therefore, good time yet to come forward
with my list, before the period sets in in which we will
attribute more praise to the products of home cultiva-
tion than to the importing of ever new varieties.

If you read in one number of our principal horticul-
tural journal that the old, old cross of Cypripedium
vernixium has been reraised with no material difference
than the use of another variety of the original species,
and that its progeny receives the two distinct names of
Murillo and Dibdin; and the next week's edition of this
very same journal tells us of two more places where this

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 15

same hybrid sprung up, and while the seedlings from
the one place are recorded as merely vernixium, the
other is given the name of Daviesianum; if you notice
this, and are interested in such culture: does it not dawn
upon you that it is very high time that some definite
plan was devised upon which to depend for naming and
classifying the nurselings of our care? It must. And
should not every one rejoice and gladly consent if some-
body proposes such classification, provided his list is a
presentable and acceptable one? I myself do not be-
lieve in authority any more than the next, and openly
confess to the knowledge of the detriment worked unto
science when blindly following the arrangements of an
autocrat. But now when the trouble has assumed such
threatening proportions, and everybody interested is
clamoring "Where are we going?" would it not be best
to adhere to some plain system and be ruled by it in
future? Do not mind that it is an obscure and unheard-
of person who proposes a reorganization. The gambling
fraternity of the race-course has its stud-book, and swears
by its record. Let us — dealing with scientific objects —
unite and stay by a standard of organization, not mind-
ing the hurting of the feelings of this or the other just
because his seedling's name is not the legitimate one.

My list should establish order in the chaos, and the
purchaser of it can depend that with every year I will
put before him, at a nominal figure, the supplement
record of the past season.

16 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

How should we Classify Orchid Hybrids?

Let us contemplate the possibilities of a single instance
to illustrate how we should be guided. Let us take
Cypripedium barbatum and insigne, for instance. Do
not pay so much attention to the scrupulously scented
out varieties of those willing to pay for the naming of
such unica only. There is but one variety of barbatum
which claims sufficient distinction to exert a determining
influence in hybridizing, viz.: Crossii (more righteously
named Crossianurn). Of Cpd. insigne nothing but the
three varieties, Chantinii, Maulei and Sanderee, will dom-
inate sufficiently in hybridizing to admit of tracing in
their progeny. It will never do for us to allow more
than the mere citing of any of those varieties recorded
by legion, but recognized only by those who have a
personal interest in any of them. We therefore have
the following possibilities:

barbatum ? X insigne — Ashburtonise.

" X insigne ? — " var.

X " Chantinii,

Maulei or

Sanderse. — " 3 var.
" Crossii.. X insigne or any

of its 3 var.. — " 4 var.

Such are the possibilities. But then, how many of
them will stand the critical examination of an unbiased
judge and pass as sufficiently distinct to deserve varietal
rank? Very often the reverse of the original cross will
turn out to be identical, and while the possibilities of
the above hybrid could be increased ad infinitum by
allowing the establishment of varieties according to
whichever sexes of the kinds were employed in the
progeny, I do not enumerate such chances, as it must

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 17

be left to the committee before which such crosses may
be put for a certificate of existence to determine whether
or not sufficient character has been obliterated to refer
the progeny to varieties already catalogued.

The offsprings of an identical cross should not receive
different names unless a variety has been used which
gave additional arid prominent features to the seedling.

To apply different names to seedlings originating^
from the same seed-capsule is an insult to intelligence,
Such cases have happened, but should be objected to in
the most outspoken manner. I am aware though of the ^
possibility of suppressed characters, of missing links
occasionally appearing, in which case their existence
should be put before scientists to be properly taken
notice of. Such plants should be bought up by botanic
gardens to be preserved becoming their kind. [I speak
of one case, Cypripedium medea monstrosa — Ceres later
on]. What I am alluding to in general is such dubbing
of bastards as Cpd. Laforcadei and Barteti, the Jolibois
annex to nomenclature, the whole rigmarole of Reichen-
bach about the set of Warner's hybrids herded under
the rubric of Cpd. calophyllum, or Sander's salvation-
army-lot of daily-fresh-to-order bastards.

If reverse crosses are displaying features entitling
them to recognition, accord it to them, but only as vari-
eties of the antecedent.

If you meet with obscure crosses, be it that the ex-
hibitor was not concerned in their origin, or be it that
a stray seedling reaches the flowering stage, or be it that
the person growing the plant was not of the caring kind:
refuse them recognition from the very outset. Compare
their description with anything already recorded, and
if any ways admissible, order them under such lines.
It may happen though that the plant is remarkable for

18 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

one point or other, so glaring as to deserve attention:
then admit it, christen it, and watch for every plant
which may be recorded later on displaying a character
similar to the one given thus recognition. In such case,
do not grant the newcomer specific rank, but subdue its
claim for originality under the title of the one given a
previous certificate, the clamor of the originator of the
bastard notwithstanding.

If a cross has been given the name formed by com-
bining the terms of his parents — no matter whether it
has been done rightly or wrongly according to botanic
usage — uphold the name. If Cpd. Javanico-Spiceriaiium
is established, do not try and rechristen it lutescens
(what for all I know may have been done unconsciously).
Remember that it is the rule of botanists when joining
such names, to place the pollen parent first. But though
it is more than desirable to adhere to such usage, it is
not of such piercing effect as to warrant a rechristening
of the material already known as interfering with such
rule. Sometimes the reverse is perfectly identical. It
can be suggested that we deal with natural hybrids also
and — unless proven by repetition in actual experiment —
their parentage, though admittedly the one given in
joined name, leaves still room for speculation as to
which was the seed-bearing parent.

Bigeneric hybrids claim a place of their own. If we
recognize Laelia and Cattleya, and join either with any
orchid, we must uphold the difference of their progeny
and create a new class for each group. Do not admit
distinctness in generic rank to the reverse cross, but
make his seedlings subservient to the class already estab-
lished. This rule should stand even if such characters
as the difference in the pollen-masses of Laelia and
Cattleya should be entirely obliterated; it should be up-

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 19

held, if for no other reason, for the convenience with
which their kind may be picked out and classified.

The clearness of our system will be materially inter-
fered with as soon as we engage secondary crosses for
our operation. How our speculations on the possibili-
ties illustrated in the case of Cpd. insigne X barbatum
can become fallible, that is obvious to all those in daily
contact with the products of cross-fertilization. Such
cases are not rare now, and will become more trouble-
some frequent the more complete the ranks of our army
of hybrids get to be.

As soon as secondary hybrids are employed, their off-
springs will lose so many of the original characteristics
that they never should be allowed to go forward as
christened individuals, but should be sunk in names
already established, though the fact of their creation
and the reasons for their subordination should be
chronicled. We have not yet entered the time when we
will be bothered with tertiary and quartery hybrids.
But when we are, it is then that an orchid committee
will be of service, a conditio sine qua non. The most
glaring instances, so far as I know, are the crosses of
Selenipedium caudatum X longifolium. The first cross
of that kind received the name Spd. grande, the variety
Roezlii of longifolium having served as one parent. We
are made acquainted later on with the Spd. macro-
chilum, the result of crossing caudatum Lindenii with
longifolium. Of course, we are forced to reduce this
cross to varietal rank, the two species having been em-
ployed previously. Now comes 'Mr. Holmes, the culti-
vator of the orchid treasures of the late Mr. Geo. Hardy,
and introduces to us his Selenipedium Hardyanum.
Spd. caudatum and Ainsworthii x were the producers
of his plant. The report of the orchid committee of

20 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

the Royal Horticultural Society of London (Oct. 18, '92.)
states its " great resemblance to macrochilum." The
article dealing with the exhibits of the Royal Botanical
Show at Manchester, says right out " synonym with
Spd. macrochilum " (Gard. Chron., May 27, '93). And,
looking at a paragraph (Gard. Chron., Dec. 31, '92), we
learn " positively the same as that raised by Messrs.
Veitch, of Chelsea." And in the meeting of the R. H. S.
of Jan. 17, '93, we have before us Spd. Penelaus raised
from crossing caudatum Lindenii with (Ainsworthii)
calurum x. What is that but a variety of Hardyanum,
and this same Hardyanum is " positively the same as
macrochilum."

Cases like the foregoing are matters to be decided by
an authority, as all the committees called together " on
orchid nomenclature " have been flat failures. I am not
in a position to decide those questions, being too far re-
moved from the center of orchid cultivation to have a
clear insight for final opinion. Those of you who are
in such a quandary, apply to Mr. Rolfe, of the Orchid
Review, and submit your case. Remember that it is not
well possible for your orchid committee to combine all
the knowledge required for such specialties in your ranks
to guarantee correctness and uniformity for the subjects
under question.

Taking secondary hybrids in general, do not allow any
of those which contain more than three quarters of the
blood of one species to figure as named hybrids. Cast
them into the lots where their seven-eighths blood be-
longs, knowing how immensely variable each and every
species is, if you only take the trouble to find it out. If
you cross Spd. longifolium with cardiiiale x you come
about as near to Sedenii as need be to shear them over
one comb. To name the cross of Calanthe (Sedenii x

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 21

X Veitchiix), Florence is absurd, and many more cases
like this can be cited. Such should not happen any
more in future, and should be suppressed if forced upon
the orchid growers.

What 1 did in Classifying.

My arrangement of the list is so plain that no explana-
tion is called for. I have followed the rules laid down
above, and handled the material on hand without creat-
ing any new names. I let the established ones pass re-
view and list them according to their qualifications.

If a hybrid was mentioned as having been raised, and
nothing but the parentage was given, it is entered as
found, and thus indexed.

If the seed-bearing plant was mentioned as such, I
have marked it in every case. If the cross in question
was repeated at some other place, and is arranged by
me in the proper line, I have again noted which of the
parents was the seed-bearing plant, provided such came
to my knowledge. If I say " also raised by so-and-so,"
it means that the same parentage was used at that time,
whatever it was in the first case. If no sex was marked
in the first instance, it is to be understood that I am not
acquainted either with the sexes used for the duplicated
cross, provided I have not stated otherwise.

As I have recorded all crosses coming to my knowl-
edge, even if they did not reach the flowering stage at
the time of registering, my list contains already material
with which we may meet again on future occasions. It
must be remembered, though, that such crosses are not
indexed so as not to interfere with the crosses known
under the joint-names. I considered it wise to take
cognizance of those hybrids nearing the time of their

22 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

coining of age, to partly offset any efforts of renaming
them.

The only times that I have altered names attributed
to hybrids were those of which their record stood in
direct opposition to their name and would lead to
misapprehensions. As long as no plan has been agreed
upon to have secondary hybrids, which revert back to
either pollen or seed-bearing plant, arranged in a differ-
ent manner, I did not feel justified in casting thus
hybrids with seven-eights blood of one kind to the con-
trolling parent. Still I believe this to be the best plan,
and by looking over the number of hybrids related to
Spd. Sedenii, it becomes obvious that ere long we will
be forced to proceed upon such rule. But I, with the
first attempt to classify the hybrids of orchids, keep on
terra jirma, if for no other reason for that of avoiding at-
tacks upon my work. Whatever criticism may be called
forth by this proposition, I will gladly rearrange in the
supplement of next year's record what may be deemed
most acceptable. Hoping that this my discussion will
call for further and wider debate, I put together the
cases which I changed. If the authors of the following
hybrids attempted to make an arrangement on such*
lines, they should have stated it at the time of issuing
the certificates of birth in writing the descriptions.
They have not done so, and to do away with those per-
plexing cases I cut their names in two which, luckily,
in no case interferes with previous nomenclature. They
are
Cypripedium (Crossianum) Castle Hill.

" (callosum) sublaeve, syn. Siamense.

Selenipedium (macrochilum) giganteum — not to be taken

for Cypripedium giganteum.
Thunia (Veitchiana) superba.

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 23

Seven more such contradictiones in adjectum happen
to be synonyms of previously established hybrids and
should be engrossed by them. They are the Cypripedia
marmorophyllum superbum syn. Parksianum, villosum
violaceum syn. Germinianum, Haynaldianum Mdlle.
Clotilde syn. Clotilde Moens, Harrisianum robustum
syn. Loochristianum, Dauthieri violaceum purpureum
syn. Marguerite Mantiii, Dauthieri latifolium syn.
Alfred Bleu, and Ddr. splendidissimum illustre syn.
Rubens.

Cpd. modestum (Harrisianum x X tonsum) raised by
Grey, claims priority to Sander's cross of that name
from (purpuratum X Io x), and to signify in its name
the origin, and to also brand it as the only one inter-
meddling in any way whatever in my list I call it Cpd.
molestum.

What kind of Names should we apply to
Orchid Hybrids?

A name is an expression put up for convenience in
usage, or rather is supposed to be such. That one nation
has its people's tongues moulded in a different way from
another is a fact not to be denied nor to be quarreled
over. Pronounce it to suit yourself, even if you cause
your neighbor's lips to ache with the words of ridicule
pressing upon them. We gardeners are cosmopolites

sides we adapt ourselves to a good many terms. But let
us be spared such mouthful of Greek like we have
inherited from Reichenbach films. Knowing him as
well as I do, I feel satisfied he tried to force his unap-
proached education upon us. There have to be some
Solons amongst us; we can not all be fools. But the

links between the two are wonderfully easy to trace.
And then again such ladles full of molasses of personal
flattery as are dished up to us from such striders as
Sander & Co., they turn the stomach of any man with
an every day constitution. An orchid hybrid is a bas-
tard after all, and most of them so far retain the odor
of illegitimacy as long as they show a flower to look at.
Since the days of Dr. Lindley it is against good taste
to attach a deserving collector's name to a decent orchid;
that would make a plant unsalable; there would be
11 nothing in it." Please, those who are performing the
acts of christening these foundlings, do not consider
the name of a gallant collector the proper noun to at-
tach to a characterless hybrid. To feed them with the
swill of obsolete bastards is adding insult to the injury
done to most of them every day of their life. Such
idiocities as to attach names as Calantha vestita Cornelius
Vanderbilt to a hybrid which at best is no vestita, and
then, such common rubbish as now these days every
fourth-class gardener can raise by the box full," to be be-
spoken", that looks to me like jeering at the man whose
name has been used, and as an effort to perpetuate the
contempt which has been put into such act by the savant.
Such footprints in the trail of science lead to the very same
road which "The Professor" used to pace, and end in
the orchid junk-shop of the "Xenia," the garlic odor
of which refutes their xenia character and verifies the
expected, when in one number only "three of the four
species described must take the ranks of synonyms."
Of course personalities of " Sanderianum " and " Wend-
landianum" have to pop up from their mixed ranks and
remind us of the fact that when people can not gain
glory from unlooked-for quarters, they pick the dried up
laurels from their spice-chests and decorate each other.

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 25

Messrs. Veitch have set a shining example when
naming their select lot of seedlings after objects of
fiction and mythology. Latin has been the language of
science and is to remain such. Those hybrids which
received names after the fashion of scientists, well and
good, they have to stand. But let us avoid such expres-
sions further on.

When acknowledging established varieties, be guided
to some extent by certain authorities, say Veitch's
Manual, though I myself have preferred to disagree with
several of them as I mention further on. Do not attach
immense importance to such trifling distinctions as
some of your long-way's-down species exhibit. You
name them by the big noses and drawn-out-of-shape
faces which they please to exhibit, and because they are
different in such ugly characters, do not persuade your-
self to believe that they are pretty and worth preserving.

About joined names, 1 have had occasion to speak
before.

Do not reuse names already established as synonyms.
Once synonym, always synonym, is a rule accepted by
so many that it is rejectable to invite its application.
Still, do not try and rename those you encounter. Life
is short at best, and our fraction of gray matter too
much employed already now to call for further engage-
ment. Avoid cases like Cpd. Simonii and Siemonii.

But, above all, do not forget your x sign to mark the
plant in question as hybrid. The Orchid Review has
applied it before the species name throughout. Much
as I like to follow that journal's example, I set it after
the word. Reichenbach, deceased, I understand, pro-
posed two and three, to mark secondary, etc. Lucky for
him to depart life ere he would be obliged to employ as
many as twenty. By the time our mule-breeders got

that far, he would have had a fair sized cemetery along
every one of those little curiosities. The modern art of
naming lets us earthliiigs escape with a single cross, but
not without that. If anybody should be tempted to
remark that I have not followed the rule throughout this
book, I neglect it only then when it is plain from the
sentence that I speak about a hybrid. Remember, too,
that I am one of those dancers that have to pay the
piper, and I have had to pay enough for extra type,
without laying in an unnecessary stock of crosses. I
do not see any reason whatever, though, for burdening
bigeneric hydrids with a cross. Ever since Dr. Masters
established his Philageria, everybody concerned knows
that a hybrid is spoken about as soon as you pronounce
a plant to be a Catlselia, a Zygolax, etc. To affix to them
a x is nothing but an uncalled for display of wisdom,
and burdensome at that.

We have grown into the habit of adopting the most
cumbersome conglomerates of names for bigenerics,
without uttering a word of objection. It may be the
rule of scientists to express in their combination-name
as fully as possible how the plants in question originate;
but I want to enter a very urgent claim for convenience's
sake. We have to learn every name, good or bad, diffi-
cult or easy to adopt. Hundreds of roads lead to the
seat of St. Peter, and if we are obliged to make our way
towards it, why not take a ticket for the most direct
route, the most convenient? If I recollect right, it was
Mr. H. N. Ridley, then of the Museum of Natural His-
tory, South Kensington, who proposed at the Orchid
Conference (sic!) at Manchester, the name of Catleelia
for hybrids between Cattleya and La3lia. That is as
good and convenient, as euphonious and significant as
Dr. Masters' classic Philageria. The scientists use these

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 27

names but once, where we will have to deal with them a
hundred times. They owe us the consideration of con-
venience, and if they deny us such blessing, let us re-
volt and rule ourselves. I, therefore, propose the follow-
ing, besides Mr. Ridley's Catlselia for (Cattleya x Lselia).
Have Cattleya and Laelia been crossed with Epidendrum,
Epileya and Epilselia resp.; with Sophronites, Sophro-
leya and Sophrolselia resp.; with Brassavola, Brassaleya
and Brassala3lia resp.; with Sobralia, Sobraleya and
Sobralselia resp. The cross of Phaius and Calanthe
name Phalanthe; of Zygopetalum and Colax, Zygolax;
of Cypripedium and Selenipedium, Cysepedium, etc.

The assault upon nomenclature by the French savant
who committed the horrible Miltoniopsis (do not let us
mention his name) shows at once how little understand-
ing and discernment that man possessed for the object
in question.

Looking at the legion of names applied to such com-
mon hybrids as nitens, Measuresianum, Harrisianum,
oenanthum, Ashburtonise, and what else their lot
amounts to, I do not feel like blaming those who chris-
tened their children. Every crow is entitled to the
belief that her squabs display the deepest black of any.
But as soon as they try to burden us with the products
of their fertility, we object to their rabble. Those
hybrids were in reach of possibility of all those who
did not possess any other plants to parent with. And
poorly as the raisers of those hybrids were placed, the
next degree of richness in. collections were but some-
what better. They all had an excuse so far for dubbing
their flock, but from this date they should be refused
recognition. Simplify the nomenclature, and a great
step of advance will have been made.

28 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

A Word to the Orchid Committee of the
Royal Hort. Soc. of London.

It is to that body of men that we have to look for en-
forcement of rules which may be adopted and endorsed
by the orchid-growing fraternity. If you can agree
upon a line of proceeding, subject to it every hybrid
which may corne before you for judgment. It must be
hard for a grower, after having raised a hybrid Cattleya
in years of care and watchfulness, and glorying over it
at the time of flowering by attaching his illustrious
initials to it, to be told then in cold language, that such
plums have been picked long before he got to the top.
But law is law, even if applied to such nonentity as the
boldest of the gorgeous orchid hybrids. It also should
be remembered that when a name has been attached to
a plant once, it has claim to existence, if it be only
under the obscuring cover of synonymy. If you cannot
relieve us from the Oregon boot we drag about already
now, at least avoid adding to its burden.

A Word to the Raisers of Orchid Hybrids.

The first orchid hybrids were raised in the early six-
ties, and they were but scattered pioneers of the army
which has been following their appearance in endless
number ever since. The hybrids of Cypripedia only,
that is to say the actual crosses perfected (not to count
the aggregate numbers of seedlings raised), has reached
the embarrassing number of one thousand. If it was
nothing but the idea of perfecting a cross between
orchids which induced the patrons of those nestors
among the multitude to raise that advance-guard, the
appearance of Selenipedium Sedenii taught us at once

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 29

that we might be moved by other reasons when crossing
our orchids. We learned that the health of our cross,
the vigor of its system was more fit to endure the treat-
ment we offered it than the sickly species used in their
parentage — exceptions as there may occur. I admit
that we have made wonderful progress in the culture of
our orchids, collected from so entirely different sur-
roundings, and brought into the narrow frames which
we make their new home. But need I recall the fact
that we are far from managing a Cattleya citrina?
that the whole section of the Cyrtochila Oncidia are
this very day as much of strangers to us as they were a
dozen years ago? Let that suffice to intimate that we
ought to pick out every poor grower amongst our pets,
and cross-fertilize him. Another point at which we aim
in cross-fertilization is the improvement in color and
shape of flower. Do not be deceived by the great efforts
made by those firms which have brought to us the origi-
nal plants from the tropics. Their glory may be daz-
zling and seem worth the trouble and the dangers
endured by those poor collectors who went out in
search of our treasures. But those regions have a limit,
and while the last group of islands in the Australias is
about to be ransacked by the greed of the importers:
the steady gain of the home cultivator has invaded their
ranks, and the time will come when we appreciate higher
the products of home-industry.

I mention that the aggregate number of distinct
crosses raised up to date is nearing two thousand. I
need not state that all the work done so far has been
to a very great extent of a speculative kind. Think
that so paltry a cross as Cypripediuin Harrisonianum
could receive almost twenty different names, oenanthum
twenty-five! Every one of their raisers thought his

cross momentous enough to be christened as the lord of
a manor. I think it is time that we consider a hybrid
among orchids as so common an appearance that we
pass it over without special ado, unless it be a great
improvement on what we already have on hand. What
do our results amount to at best? Cypripedium, the
genus most easily raised from seed, has been prostituted
with such a multitude of rabbling bastards that it takes
the eye and taste of a high mind to keep above them.
Remember that your most noble genus of Odontoglossum
is so far in the back ranks of your hybrids, that a few
lines will mention all you have perfected so far. Im-
press upon your mind that your success in hybridizing
has been so entirely one-sided, so minute in regard to
the difficulties awaiting you in future work, that it will
never do to rest satisfied with the little accomplished.
My list may be late in making its appearance, but it is
early yet if we pause a second to contemplate what
wonders are within the scope of our zeal. Consider
only that stock of hybrids which you boast of! Cpd.
Morganiee, the pride of your collections, how often has
it been repeated? Why was it that not dozens and
dozens of you attempted the very same as soon as the
world of orchid growers was on tip-toe about that wonder
of wonders? How many Spd. Schrcederse do you call
your own? Why not have your Croesus a whole stock of
self fertilized Cpd. Stonei platytseniurn corning on?
Where is the man who crossed Philippinense and hirsu-
tissimum? — My list can be a guide, to tell at a glance what
has been accomplished, and what combinations might
be entered into. Of course we should not forget that
every grower of orchids is dependent from the extent of
species in his possession. But you can mail pollen to
assist each other. And is there a large collection which

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 31

does not engage its care-taker in hybridizing? He
should contract for hybrids grander than those we add
at present by the legion to those already in existence.
Pursue your task with thought, and aim. at raising the
best, and that often. Thus you have an opportunity to
attach a reputation to your name which everybody will
be ready to attribute to you if deserving of it!

.Remember also that the scientists are interested in
your work. Our knowledge is but fractional in many
points, and if you hear about a puzzling problem arising,
lend your assistance and solve such problems.

If you have on hand seedlings which you think de-
serve weeding out from among the bed of idolized pets,
do not murder the unfortunate foundlings. Remember
that hybridizing is the greatest step towards acclimatiz-
ing those strangers in our greenhouses, and that every
grower in the cut-flower trade will — if he pays attention
to what is to his best — be only to glad to purchase your
bastard. They are easier to grow. They have but rudi-
mentary wants as compared with the perfected species,
and like the long-eared mule of our mountains lives on
the bark of the tree we chop down for him when pitch-
ing tent; so will your every-day-face bastard live on the
scrapings of the barnyard and grow like stocks and
jelly-flowers.

Futhermore let me entreat you to keep track of your
work. Take notes and be truthfully strict about what
you observe. You have but a faint idea how many are
interested in your work, and it is impossible for you to
anticipate what the result of your effort may turn out
to be. The law of atavismus may play the queerest
pranks with your plantlets, and confront you with results
that overshadow the astonishment of a cuckoo's mother.
Let us learn how long a time was required to land your

seedlings at the flowering stage, and teach us about the
irregularities which may puzzle you on the way. You
gardeners are the right hands of the botanists, whether
the latter own up to it or not.

A Word to the Patrons of Orchid Culture.

With you, gentlemen, rests the problem of placing
our orchid culture on a high or a low standard. You
guard the coin to pay for the work performed, and you
supply the trading grower with the sinews to carry on
his experiments. Often as you have been taken in with
plants which were not by any means what they were repre-
sented to be, you have now, in regard to hybrids, the
means on hand to watch the silver-tongued, glib-mouthed
trader when he paints unto the bastard of his propa-
gating beds your honorable name. With all respect due
to those whose names have been employed, refuse the
use of your letters if they are to be handled indecently.
By the time we receive hybrids bedecked without inter-
ruption with Ashworthii, E. Ashworth, AshworthiaB,
Ashworthianum, the man who employs your attention
thus thinks very little of you. Wells, Wellsiae, Wellsi-
ana, Oweiiii, OweniaB, Owenianum: that sounds like the
reciting of the first lesson in Latin by a little shaver who
got mixed up at the sight of the threatening switch. If
blue blood is dragged forth to be made the laughing-
stock of scheming traders, ah well, who looks for any-
thing different! If we were raised like that imbred caste
to live on the lying flattery of hollow-boned menials, we
would be vain-glorious like they. We could not tell any
more whether the thousand Odontoglossuin crispum we
bought for one guinea apiece were exchanged behind
our backs for the quick repotted smaller size than the

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 33

seller of Blenheim pictures was able to find out. But
if you are a man of that class which earns money to
own it, that class which reverts trade and figures to the
channels of deserving merit: you then can be a judge
of your purchases and the spirit they are proffered in.
It should not happen to you when the governor closes
the door of your brougham that he runs back to the
office like a kid and burst out: " By god, isn't she a
cow?" Such the repute of the Ked Duchess of Hay-
market-offensiveness. People raised for the purpose of
exhibition are pompous in appearance, like the fancy
poultry at fairs; but good for nothing else than to fatten
on the wheat watered with our brow's sweating. They
flourish on being fed stories of the thickest webbing of
lies, like the bosh of Eulophiella discoveries in Mada-
gascar. Cypripidium lo has been raised only once, but
if you acquire the gall of putting a couple of dozen
grande, splendidum, gracillimum, humbugianum at the
tail end of it, you find Johns and Jacks to put up for it.
Another kind petition to those generous patrons of
orchid culture. In the noble employ which you pursue
by devoting your time to orchid culture, you like to be,
and you are, discerned from the rest of those which can
spend leisure in sportive pursuit. Does it occur to you
that the man caring for your mind's pleasure is likewise
a discernible character? There is not a profession within
reach of our sun's brightening rays which enjoys less
eminence, and which at same time can depend on less
mutual organization and protection, than the multitude
of gardeners. It is likewise true that there is no more
noble occupation to mind or body than gardening.
None requires the qualities of a high-thinking, deep-
feeling mind more than gardening. And again, there
is none that is shunned more than this very profession,

which is the protector, the elevating motor of your
nation's sincerity. Laugh at me if you like; there is
nothing in this world that can wound this my heart to
death. Call your doctor, your medicus a more noble
aiming man. I do not gainsay it, though he does not
control his subjects like we do ours. But there is no
more religious training a human being can be subjected
to than the care of plants, of those beings closest to a
person's affection. Why do you celebrate your infant's
birthday by decorating with flowers? Why do you select
a bud to lay to the bosom of your beloved? Why do
you value higher than gold and myrrh the wreath picked
by that picture of innocence, the child of your moun-
tains? Why do you put a myrtle sprig into your bride's
locks? Why do you make the heart of your husband
bright with hope when he finds a spray of only the
most homely of flowers on his desk? Why do you place
before the window of your invalid friend a pot with
violet or snowdrop to cheer his wretched days? And
why? oh! why do you press a bunch of tear- wetted
flowers into the hand of the one whose features you are
about to look at for the last time? — Are not we gardeners
the caretakers, the nurses, the doctors of those objects,
those subjects? Do not we enable you to enjoy their
cheering presence every day of your life? Is it not we
who take up, improve and perfect those plants and
flowers? Where is the home that can do without the
products of our work, our skill, our art? Take a man
from the depth of wretchedness; a woman, the dirtiest
hoodlum woman, from whom you buy a buttonhole
when forcing your way through the crowd on Thread-
needle Street: you can touch them with the emblem of
life, a flower. I have worked in your houses. I have
studied in your colleges. Rich I was; poor I became.

man anyways near what he ought to receive? If you
value your plants by ciphers of three, four places, how
much is the caring of them worth in comparison? Do
not answer me that you can get dozens of men for the

there is something entirely wrong in the parceling out
of this world's gifts, and if it is perhaps in my interest
to look for a change, it may be in yours to be anxious
about a continuation. If you decide thus, you give the
rope around our necks another twist, and more narrow

Out on the porch before my office door lies my dog;
Prince is his name, and princely are his ways. To
enumerate his traits would be imposing upon my
readers' time. Let it suffice with the statement that
he is as intelligent as he is brave, as noble as he
is useful. Yet this very dog was raised (by the man
who left him with me when he emigrated to a worse
country) with nothing but bran and scraps falling
off the table of a batchelor prospector and pioneer. Not
that Prince was not worth any better food; no, it was
all his master was able to afford for the companion of
his lonely life. What the dog is amongst animals, that
is the gardener amongst men: his most faithful com-
panion, his most sincere servant. You can raise either
of them on the bran of your wheat or on the scraps of
your table; they are grateful and thrive under such con-
ditions. But, fellow-men of flesh and bone, would you
face your dog if you fed him thus? Do not try to inform
me about numerous curs, such news has grown stale
already with the linnets on my roof. In the town which
I overlook from my window they drop occasionally scraps

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 37

of meat with an addition of nux vomica for the canine
curs. But while the human curs are locked up by decrees
of "civilization" and fed at the expense of the com-
monwealth, hundreds and thousands of worthy dogs,
shepherd dogs of intelligence, have to subsist on bran
and soiled scraps. Your gardeners, nine out of ten, are
amongst them. Like my Prince, they do not growl, and
do not leave either to hunt up more humane masters,
more respected occupations. They stay, and swear by
their lords, and become degraded, until they are unable
to recognize the lowness of their position. But there is
a number of bulldogs and bloodhounds distributed in
the race of dogs. They do not only set an example by
their acts of freedom; no, they intermix in breeding,
too. Dog as they may be, dog as they may remain,
be not surprised if on the day of reckoning (which
" civilization " forces upon humanity) the very serf dog
at your door assumes the traits which up to then, you
have been applying to him. If your gardener is low
enough to accept from the nurseryman the tendered
check for the blackmailing percentage of your orchid
purchase, do not blame him if he feels like kissing the
hand that drops that crisp note. Blame yourself; nay,
despise yourself for having helped in the slow process
of debauching your fellow-man's ,manhood. — The hand
that forks the manure of your stable, did you ever touch
it? not to speak about pressing it? If not, try the ex-
periment, and do not get paralized if it dawns upon you
in the most glaring of all sunrises what revolution one

A word to those I am under obligation to.

We have been subjected to the most contemptible
treatment from the " Autocrat from Hamburg " for such
a number of years, that we had to rub our eyes and ask
whether all this was true, after the hero was deprived
of the sheltering robe of life. I hate to have the name
of kicking dead donkeys. But while I may be called
guilty of dealing in poundmasters' traits, I have wit-
nesses for having attempted to disrobe rascals in science
and profession ere this while they were still wielding
the murdering cleaver to chop whatever did not stand
in humble disgrace the administering of their insults.
Let us look back for a moment and contemplate what
this H. G. Reichenbach fil. has done for our orchids.
Did he not die and leave not as little as the most wretched
handbook to guide us through the mess which he
stirred up? Has he done anything but name species,
plain and simple, the recognition of which would have
been easy prey for any student who could have examined
the material usurped by him? As soon as it came to
puzzling objects, Reichenbach had a stunning ability in
applying the trick of breaking Gordian knots. Do not
challenge me for proofs, they are common property, and
aside from them I have a whole store of bunged-up
private ones, the odor of which would render abashed
the effects of a smashed jug of bi-sulphide of carbon.
A man who has to take refuge to registered letters only

about for a third person to address them to, his soul

would have killed him — that his leaves of criminal docu-

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 39

ments were scattered along railroad tracks, the amuse-
ment of those wrho studied them at " fresh air leisure,"
or the prey of fanning winds which tried to scatter the
shame to hide it behind hedges and roadsides. The
whole accumulation of Reichenbach's writing was not
worth the articles on Catlaelia elegans and Schilleriana,
which the author of the Orchid Review spread before
us. His mixed up stuff of Bletia, Barkeria, Epiden-
drum, Leelia, Schomburgkia, Cattleya, was such Irish
stew that he did not have the courage to swallow it him-
self. His contributions to the orchid conference were
simply absurd. He may have worked wonders in or-
dering the nomenclature of Bulbophyllum, Eria, and
the like genera, wonders to some, but perhaps but trifling
matters to those versed in such pages of our botanic
literature. But to us, who are confronted every day
with flowers attractive and large, we come across his
blunders often enough to place their author where he
belongs. The drawings which he has forced upon our
orchid bibliography are a disgrace to the century.
And his conceit uttered with every expression he used —
" Qu' on nous traite de meme ? " Has it ever occurred to
you, the subscriber of the " Reichenbachia," what
offensive trick of the boldest baseness it was for him to
undertake such publication? As a rule people want to
be dead before they like to have anybody mention their
epitaph. But "post equitem sedet atra cura," thus he
dreaded, and fearing to fall in the gutter of oblivion to
benefit solely through decay, he gathered in all the self-
made glory he could muster and caused the Reichen-
bachia to be created large enough to cover a cadaver of
almost any size. . Thus he reckoned, but looked out at
same time for the ringing sound of Bank of England
metal, to delight and satisfy the greedy black soul. That,

he could arrange, he could contract for, but the dread of
those ghouls — as he termed them — hovering over his
herbarium, that drove the sweet blessing of peace from
his eye-lids. What was it, this act of his to solder up
the treasures committed to his care? Call it criminal,
call it foolish, call it small or call it dirty: it stands there
monumentalizing the most contemptible act of any
scientist that ever could be committed. Let us be mer-
ciful with him, let us call it childish, and let us condemn
those who accepted the undignified, sordid duty of
carrying out his wish. He feared his scientific brethren
might turn out to be above such trickery; and well
guarded against such rejection was the iron-clad will.
They should have refused and refused again, that con-
clave of adherents of international science, until the lot
reverted where it belonged, to the island whence the
bulk of material came under his care. It hurt me at
the time to be forced to believe that magnanimity
amongst scientists was not as great by far as it might,
as it should be. He hoped we could not get along with-
out it, and would clamor over the loss he afflicted us
with.

It laid with him entirely to bless us with a book to
set right all the disputes warming up the multitude of
expecting hearers. He fought not to accomplish it, but
his contempt has never penetrated further than to those
admitted to the bar of inquisition and torture. Who
was it that strangled the reputations of every one of
those collectors which were swarming over tropical lands
and ruining their constitutions for the sake of science,
as they thought— for the sake of the devil, as they had
to sadly experience? If they gainsay what I preach and
maintain, poor fellows! they do not know the strings
that played the manikins. What have you, what has the
world heard about a Riernann, about a Foerstermann,
about a Bartholomaeus, about an Arnold, about a Ker-
bach, about a Micholitz, about a Schroeder, about a
Koebelen, about a Hennings, who have been sacrificed
to fill the coffers of squandering extravagance? to pay
the whims of idiotic trickery and tricky idiotcy? If
your bones bleach in the sun, and not a stone has been
rolled over the shallow graves of some of you martyrs,
I, for one, will turn the glare of a torch, the brightest
torch aflame, the torch of truth upon your white bones.

bidden the use of a pen to write up your experience
under the ban of digrace at the time that you were
ruined for anything but the lingering of a collector's
death. I have not sniffed where I had no business to,
though I do not claim to be listed a colonel for the legion
of the goody good. But if things are dumped before
your eyes, if facts are thrust under your nose, where is
the man that does not notice them? And aside from
that, a personal grievance served to sharpen the scent
to detect the direction whence a stab towards my back
was aimed from.

Enough, de mortuis nihil nisi verHft^aud for that
matter about the living likewise. It is a good thing
that we are not to be forgotten altogether. The
consecrator of the baptism of Dendrobium Guilelmi
secundi is inheriting some of the traits of scientific
smartness impaired through the death of past celebrities,
and if we remember how a Reichenbach had to stand
attack and criticism ere he found recognition, we will
(some of these dark days) rank equally the spooking
pranks of the orchid-sage of Heidelberg whose tomfool-
eries exuberate with the bouquet of Heidelberg's Big
Barrel. To disseminate his teachings, would be an
insult to the intelligence of our age. Unmentioned be
their names. Of all of them I write like H. G. Rchb.
fil., " t. m. t." " s. b. m." — to my taste, send better ma-
terial.

It is a pleasure to turn from these types to whom I
am under obligation for having shown me how not to
proceed when devoting myself to the study of orchids,
to the epoch beginning with the publication of the Qr-
chid Review. I felt sorry at the time of its issue to deem
that there should have been a disagreement between the
standard publication of horticulture, the Gardeners'

REVIEW AND INFERENCES. 43

Chronicle, and the leader of the new organ of the orchid
cultivating world. But as long as our Revieiv has turned
out as a perfect paper, let us congratulate ourselves upon
its appearance. It is a very difficult matter to establish
and uphold a noble positiveness in journalism. Germany
is swamped with worthless organs of every part, or
branch of horticulture, and taking the best of all of
them, it would require the import of a manager to give
them the heading of editorials. It is to the Orchid Re-
view that we look for advice and guidance, and to Mr.
Rolfe belongs the credit of having supplied us with the
much-needed leadership.

I have enjoyed the assistance of Dr. M. T. Masters
when addressing many of those people to whom I have
been applying for assistance in getting my material com-
pleted and corrected. Though quite a number of those
addressed have not considered it worth their while to
answer, I am under obligation to a great many corre-
spondents. I take these means of again expressing my
sincere thanks to them, and while I cannot enumerate
individually the information given, I have to single out
some, on account of their readiness in extending the
much-sought information. Mr. Drewett 0. Drewett,
Mr. F. M. Burton, Sir William Marriott, and Mr. Regi-
nald Young, exhausted their notes in answering me. Of
the nurserymen engaged in orchid growing, Messrs.
James Veitch & Sons were the very model of a firm, a
reputation attributed to them wherever mention of their
name is made. Messrs. Low, Williams and Bull were
equally ready to tell what was wanted. Messrs. W. L.
Lewis & Co. displayed a great amount of kindness, as
winsome as it was acceptable. Mr. John S. Treseder,
of Messrs. Heath & Son, captivated through his vivid
interest in my work, and to him and Mr. Wm. Murray,

44 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

N. C. Cookson's head gardener, I owe the most thorough
supplies of information received from any source. Many
thanks also to Mr. R. H. Measures, for his list, and to
Mr. W. B. Latham, for telling me so exhaustively about
the queer Cypripedium medea monstrosa x. Mr. W. H.
White, Sir Trevor Lawrence's man, dealt extensively
with all the questions put; also W. Stevens, for Mr.
Thompson, Stone. On this side of the water, Mr. Robert
M. Grey and Win. Grey deserve special gratitude; also
many thanks again to Mr. William Robinson, of Mr.
Ames' collection, Mr. H. T. Clinkaberry, with Mr.
Roebling, Trenton, and Mr. R. Gardner, at Newport.
Messrs. Pitcher & Manda showed a spirit of favor and
debonnairness, which in rny experience stamps them
the Veitch firm on our side.

There are two reasons, though, for which a person
might be under obligation: one for positive, the other
for negative assistance. The latter may not be generally
practised, but either of the two is valuable; the latter
specially, if its proffered "xenia" might be as the
wooden horse of the foes of Troja. Messrs. F. Sander
<fe Co.'s bastards in the orchid line are so impertinent
and rude in insisting to obtrude our ways, that their
clamor for recognition forced me to address their sanctum
for condescending information. Alas, we all are aware
how notoriously irregular and insecure the mail service
is. My missive, therefore, never reached its destination,
and I thus was deprived of the crowning lot of knowl-
edge to link with truth the faulty lines possessed. To
be serious, I have given their crosses the places which
they claim, according to the information going with
them at the time of exhibition. How much is that? I,
who knows, think: the less the better. If we cannot
cross a Cattleya Trianee without calling it Leeana, an

lo without making it grande, or any other one without
elevating it to princeps, grandiosum, superbissimum, I
would fear the effects of stilting on ice wiih donkey's
hoofs. I have it upon authority of an informant, that
the description of Cypripedium Youngianum has su-
perbiens and Philippinense as seed-bearing parent all in
the same breath. Sic Reichenbachia! Catlselia Wellsi-
ana, bragged about as (Ctl. superba x Ctl. elegans) — [in
which case it would be only a re-editon of Ctl. Sedenii] —
on your Temple show in '93, pops up once more at your
R. H. S. meeting, June 12, '94, as (Ctl. Trianse Leeana
X LI. purpurata). If reported wrong, it is not followed
by any protest. Then exhibits itself Wellsise as (Ctl.
labiata X LI. purpurata), as a newborn Lourdes-image of
the old bella. If that is not enough for whosoever has
eyes to see, take Cattleya Mrs. M. Wells (Prince of
Wales X Warneri), exhibited R. H. S. meeting Aug. 14,
'94. The firm which can raise this cross when its
Prince of Wales saw the light only at the Temple show
on the May 29, '91, must yet have a "Co." with the
master of necromancy, whose soldered relics are the
only memorials for us common lot to gaze upon. But
if it does not take enough interest in the children of its
raising as to supply them with the required legitimacy,
one such stray bastard brands every one of them with
the notoriety of unreliability.

I have to take leave of my readers. You never had a
classification of your orchid hybrids spread before you.
A list appeared some time back in the French language.
But as the author's reputation had already to balance
quality of paper and print, the repetition of accumu-
lated descriptions was useless, though without afflicting

any chronic harm. I promise to continue my work
with every information which reaches me. Will you
help me ? yourself? Consider that every knowledge you
may be good enough to place at my disposal is so much
gained towards perfecting our efforts at clearness and
progress! Let me learn, if you please, what you have
raised. If my data are wrong, inform me, and we all,
who are interested in this work, will thank you. Do
not mind telling about any cross you may have raised,
even if perfected three, four and ten times before you.
It is interesting to know how often a hybrid has been
grown, and entertaining to find out how many of those
seedlings have been sent out, from how many sources
our stock has gone forth. Every New Year shall bring
you a new installment of my work. Have your book
bound so as to enfold a narrow strip of paper between
every page of the list, and my annual supplements will
be arranged to admit cutting into strips and pasting to
these leaflets. The print of them will be on one side of
the paper only, and thus provided for your book will not
bulge in its binding.*

I do not want to beg; but if you are ready to receive a
plea for assistance, for recognition of honest services
rendered, look at the concluding of this reading matter
back to the page where I introduced my book with
the sigh " After All." There is no more condemnable
course resting upon this our fair world as alms. If we,
all of us, were practicing justice, and employing what
fate placed in our trust for the short span of our lives,
we all would have a chance to live and walk upright. I
live, but I do not walk upright. I think upright, I
preach upright, and bitterness of experience is the salt
of my sermon. You who rest their eyes upon orchids,

the pets of their ideas, think of me who has not seen
an orchid for years. Since I left your salubrious island,
I have felt the pangs of pity for a few orchids tortured
in cruelty at the misty conservatory of the badly gov-
erned Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I wish I had
never known about them. Do you know what it is not
to have at times the means of paying as little as a sub-
scription to " Gardeners' Chronicle?" The material for
my list was gathered on leaves formed by the insides of
the envelopes from letters addressed to me. Is my book
good? If yes, buy it; and more, get your friend to pur-
chase another one. I can not advertise. Do this for
me, it is all I ask of you if you think me deserving of
such favors.

I sit by the light of my lamp, housed with the only
human being near me for half a mile, my wife. A little
stove can hardly warm the room exposed to the storm
blowing with terrific force from the snowcapped Sierras.
It is grand up here, elevating for the mind, healthful
to the body. I have a pair of lungs in my chest which
could over-sound that raging gale outside, and call to
me the neighbor far as he resides. But they can not
reach you, who lookl kindly upon my writing. Take it
instead as a greeting from a man who unites with you
in a heartfelt interest for our orchids.

ABOUT THE CHARACTER OP THE FLOWERS OF ORCHIDS

LIST OF PEOPLE CONCERNED IN THE RAISING OF
ORCHID HYBRIDS — REFERENCES AND ABBREVIATIONS

MADE USE OF ORCHIDS RAISED FROM SEED OF

THEIR OWN KIND.

About the Character of the Flowers of

Orchids.

The parts of an orchid flower and their functions are
fairly well known to all those engaged and interested in
orchid hybridization, and as the floral diagram is to be
had in most of the books about orchids, I can dispense
with further explanation. But even if we know that
their structure in its origin conforms to lilies, if we do
understand how and for what purpose all those parts
have been transformed, does that explain the attraction
they exert over us? Does that lead us to the realization
of the very reasons for their fascination, so efficacious
and unresisting? Let us try to penetrate the ethical
expression of our orchid flowers, given to us in the en-
semble of their members, their outline and their color-
ing: their ideal character.

What is it, this sudden, this potent difference which
in the judgment of the philosopher ranks higher even
the most humble, the most insignificant orchid than the
Eucharis, the lily? The element, the base, the constitu-
ent idea of an orchid is an entirely different one. It is
that of a life, of organization, of a being, of a face with
all its parts, its lines and expressions. What is a

CHARACTER OF THE FLOWERS OF ORCHIDS. 49

Eucharis but an ornament? which, fine and beautiful as
it may be, is and remains nothing but an embellishment,
a rosette. Turn it whichever way you please, it appears
the same from any side, and does not enable you to tell
which is top or bottom respecting its position on the
stalk, if once severed from the ovary. How different
an orchid ! Present it in any position you choose, it can
be told without hesitation: this way she was attached to
the spike, this is the way she looks at you, and there is
no margin for doubt about it. They look at us, indeed
they have faces, and so many thousands and hundred
thousands of orchids with which I have been face to
face, I never yet tired to again and again study the
character of their kind. They have faces. And who-
ever has tried to penetrate the inwardness of their
character, he will conceive with me the fact that with
the application of orchids in our floral decorations, we
are to reach the hight of that art at present possible.

I have read a great deal of what the botanists wrote
about orchids, and when meditating about their writings
I put the question to myself: Have they understood in
their innermost the life of the orchid flower? Were
they conscious of what is revealed to us in every single
orchid bloom? But little is told us about that, and
sometimes when we do come across attempts to initiate
us into the secrets of those beings, we get the unpleas-
ant impression that we are confronted with cliche of
others' writings. I never have been troubling myself
with the obliterated limits of intricate systematic botany,
nor have I been favored with leisure to devote myself to
the depth of the world unbosomed through the micro-
scope. But I have been fortunate enough to keep myself
possessed of the nature of a gardener, who has an in-
ward persuasion of what his eyes behold, whose mind

50 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

shares the company of thoughts about what his senses
have been impressed with. I have strolled through
green-houses and have observed many a time how gar-
deners have afflicted the orchids with intense1 distress
by tying their spikes in the most unnatural positions.
Spikes produced in proper direction were tied to stakes
in the most horrible fashions, forcing the unfortunate
flowers to twist their necks against inclination and pos-
sibility. What would your Eucharis have done? What
any other flower? She would — as the trivial saying has
it — have turned to the light. So our orchid. But while
the others choose the shortest way, our orchid has but
one certain way or none at all. She twists her ovary
just so much and not any further, until her flowerface
has assumed the position becoming a face. Let it be
understood, though, that such motions can be gone
through by the spike and ovaries only so long as the
power of growing, the capacity of adaptation is potent
in our plant.

When I first came into possession of Darwin's book
on orchids — (and understood heartily little of its con-
tents)^-! was attracted by one sentence more than the
others, viz.: the ovary of the orchid flower is subjected
to a turning which takes place to put the lip into a
proper position to allow the visiting insect a landing
place — (exceptions and contradictions as there are by
the legion). I felt obliged to lay aside a book for the
study of which I did not have at that time the necessary
primary knowledge. But my head was possessed of that
and other sentences further on. Every orchid which I
came across had to pass review: is your ovary turned or
not? I even went so far as to establish a list, register-
ing all species known to me according to the position of
their ovary. How vividly there again appear before

CHARACTER OF THE FLOWERS OF ORCHIDS. 51

me the little flowers of Nephelaphyllum pulchrum! (see
Neubert's Gartenmagazin, 1882). How I have meditated
about their organization! How often did I change my
notes about it! How many sketches did I outline of
their ways! And how happy the fellow (of then) was
when he, without advice, without elementary knowledge
on the subject, reasoned why in this case the labelluin
was placed upward, and how the other parts conformed
to its position!

Let me refer to a few instances to illustrate our ways
and the orchid's inclinations:

Collector K., of much travel and much renown, was
looking over my shoulder while I was trying to repro-
duce the sweet blossom of Odontoglossum Cervantesii.
" Why, man, they are all standing on their heads!" —
'Do you think so?' — " Well, of course, those flowers
grow the other way." He talked to me, I listened; he
assured me, I denied; he placed himself upon experience
of ten years of travel in their homes, and ten thousand-
fold observations during their culture. I regretted not
to be able to concur in his ideas. But when I at last
came out flatfooted and denied that such pretty faces
could have their eyes where the dimples were placed by
nature, K.'s patience was at an end. " I'll fetch you
some plants and prove that I am right." K. went, but
no plants made their appearance. I came across him
in the nursery later on, and quizzed him a little, only
to get for an answer: " Yes, with these plants you are
right, but they are different in their home."

I remember a large photograph of Vanda coerulea,
much packed about at one time for show and advertise-
ment. At first look I felt satisfied that those flowers
never grew the way they were represented. Upon in-
quiry, I learned that the flowers had wilted, and were
fastened to such positions through wires.

52 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

Well known and accessible to many is the illustration
of Aeranthus Leonis (Gard. Chron., July 18, '85).
When I opened it first I said to myself: what similarity
with the fatal Angrsecum eburneum, which with its up-
right lip mesmerized my fingers when visiting the Berlin
Botanic Gardens. But when I saw Leonis in flower, I
knew then that business persuasion must have tricked
a publisher into illustrating from alcohol specimens, and
that by an artist who did not know it all. — See also the
topsy-turvy illustration of Oncidium insculptum, G. Ch.,
March 9, '95.

Very interesting and illustrative for our point is the
flowering of Laelia aiiceps. A very tenacious secretion
prevents a free separation of the ovary and buds from
the bracts, and we perceive at once that this was the
cause of the very irregular position of the flowers of
that species. But I never once found one which after
strenuous exertion had not succeeded in perfecting suffi-
cient turn to occupy a favorable position for a landing
insect.

Let us suffice with these instances to prove that in
orchids we deal with an exceptional family, with much
altered conditions conducive to the cross-fertilizing in-
sects' agencies. Through it is easily understood, though
not explained in its causes, the wonderful centralizing
effect of the coloring, all calculated to attract and lead
to just such direction and no other. All these circum-
stances, as constant >&s tfeey are inferring, they prove
to me the character of these flowers, the presence of a
face.

I imagine I hear the objection: " Well, that is not
so wonderful after all; do not dozens of flowers known
to everybody show a face?" I admit, dear friend, there
are plenty of them; let us see. A rose, like any Rosae-

CHARACTER OF THE FLOWERS OF ORCHIDS. 53

florae is an ornament, which you may call the Lilies of
the Dicotyledones. An Azalia, a Rhododendron is
higher developed; they show coloring on their corolla,
and bear marks which remind us of the lip of an orchid
flower. Pelargonium liken them and show us a clear-cut
face. And the Pansy is a flower which Dick and Tom
term "face" any day. Plainer yet, and still higher
organized, are to me the Labiatse, and I would like to
see a system claim highest rank for them as they un-
doubtedly show higher breed than the proletariat of
Composites. The Papilionacese are most rightly placed
at the head of the natural system. But are they indeed
the highest development of our present flora? I feel
satisfied that they carry the material for the highest de-
velopment, though their position is far from perfection.
But much as all these instances illustrate, much as they
prove and more as they offer for debate, who is more
praiseworthy, he who accomplishes much with much or
he who perfects more with less? The latter, most assur-
edly; and let us conclude therefore: in the present state
of flora's realm no family equals in organization the
development of the orchid. All those cases cited of
Pansy, Pelargonium, and Azalia, they one and all belong
to the Dicotyledones, plants built up after the five sys-
tem. But the orchids are composed of organs associated
in threes. And what have not they accomplished!
Their structure, their irregularity in denied symmetry,
their coloring in centralizing effect, all these are facts
the worth of which we can not estimate too highly.
Where is the orchid flower which betrays its humble
origin? which lets you guess at its relationship to grasses
and sedges? In vain you trace for the traitor. There is
the cause why we should esteem them more highly than
all the faceshowing flowers of the Dicotyledones, in the

54 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

fact that they select one of their leaves of the six-
company, transform it by sacrificing additional organs,
and mark it with the loveliest of color for the most noble
of purposes. In this grand commonwealth of such
household, in the organization of their parts to serve
one purpose, giving the outward appearance as if they
were members of the thousand-year younger tribe of five-
membered plants; there is given unto us a hint of what
was placed beyond the common reach of the Monocotyle-
dones, what only in the Dicotyledones can be accom-
plished, in future perfected. " Les extremes se touchent."
The way in which a nation makes at home art and
science at her hearth, is the way we judge its place in
civilization. The way in which a gardener chooses his
culture, he proves his taste, his character.

It is with deep reverence that I again go through those
lines of thought dotted down eight years ago this month.
They formed the leading idea for a book on orchids
written in the days of enthusiasm, finished almost and

contracted for and, then . I again hear the sound

of the ocean at my ear, I lose my thoughts on the un-
ending stretch of that enormous water. Let this passage
be the only one to give witness of days when youth and
enthusiasm were at their height, when everything was
within reach of a loving heart, nothing crippled with
an idea of impossibility of perfection. These sentences
were put down when the soul was in full enjoyment of
work, friendship and success. They were read to a circle
of like-minded fellows, all enthusiastic and willing to
burden themselves with their shares of adversity, to
occupy the foremost rank, if it should be as a lost picket.
A pity the foreign tongue hampers the expression,
brightened up by the old ardor under the recollection of
increased happiness and divided sorrow.

60 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

References and Abbreviations Made Use of.

I mention specially that of all citations, I have given
the greatest importance to the date on which the hybrid
in question was shown for the first time, be this with
the description or with only the simple record of its
parentage. I have not attempted to give a record of all
those places where a description was published, and add
besides and after the date of publication (be it in show or
journal) those places only where figures of the plant appear.

While descriptions of hybrids are essential to science,
the different plants raised from the seed of one pod show
so great a variation, that to us their record of parentage
is the only determining fact in the ranking of hybrids.
My citations vary in so far from the rules of botanists,
that I have substituted the date in place of volume
and page, except those references which I had to copy
from citations. I know this will lead to criticism and
objection. But there surely is nothing wrong about my
way. And is not for us gardeners the date more plaus-
ible than volume and number? Priority has to be
recognized most vigorously, and its right applied strictly
throughout, if for once we shall establish a base to work
upon for the future, and at the same time do justice to
past results and efforts.

Another point. As far back as 1864 (see Gard. Chron.
July 16th), we find our attention drawn to the coming
revolution in orchid nomenclature. It was Reichen-
bach who gave us a sample of his tumultuous, autocratic
spirit, and while he yet was below the horizon of recog-
nition, people did not mind criticising his doings and
urgings. Lindley's death made him the laureate, meta-
morphosing into a bullfrog soon after. Coward he
proved himself a dozen times, if once, when refusing
to apply his twists and crooks in nomenclature to his

very writings. Should I, writing for gardeners, who
seek but reliable information, and do not want and
should not be hampered by scientists' obligations any
more than necessary, be forced to entangle myself and
them by citing in every instance who first applied the
term of Selenipedium to this or that species? Seleni-
pedia they are, and separated with equal right as Lselia
and Cattleya. I admit them as such, and still retain
E-chb. f. or Rolfe or anybody else, for that matter,
if they happen to be the authority of any cross in ques-
tion. Beware of obligations the carrying out of which
is not improving our cause, and the omission of which
is not establishing any precedent nor creating any wrong
or harm. Should my most unfortunate initials be at-
tached to Phalanthe, to Zygolax, Mr. Eidley's to Catlse-
lia? If I am the first innocent one to group those
hybrids under new heads, new for usefulness, new for
reasons and new for progress; let us adhere to them for
convenience sake, and not wrangle over the comparative
worth of the three hundred and odd nails from the
cross of Christ.

Do not blame me either for giving room to hundreds
of records obscure, obliterated, indistinct and unpub-
lished. Have not all of us sinned in the past for going
as long as we did without recognizing any standard? If
Cypripedium what-its-name and the-other-kind have
been crossed by the unknown man, and I heard of it,
learned its name, found out a little more: he is entitled
to recognition, entitled as long as the land has not been
surveyed and parceled out according to law, and previous
possessory right. If others accomplished like crosses,
they are subjected to the oldest name, if known but to
local fame. It is hazardous to be just to all while living
in amongst you orchid raisers, affected and subjected to

62 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

side-influences. Like Reichenbach, independent, and
still under latent regimes, you cannot survey all you
own. It sometimes is a question of pounds, nay,
guineas, to reject Lord Tom gardener's product, while
Uriah Johns should be enthroned with his bastard.

I further have to apologize for reducing citations and
abbreviations. Gardeners' Chronicle is known where
gardeners stoke a furnace. If you abbreviate it " Gard.
Chron." every child could guess what is meant, un-
known as such journal may be to it. But, from begin-
ning to end, I address myself only to those at home
amongst orchids, acquainted with our standard publica-
tions. My citations of Reichenbachia plates are incom-
plete throughout in so far as I had to copy whatever
pictures I found recorded in other publications. Even
they, favored with inspection of such plates, cannot
possibly keep track of Sander's tricks and traces. I am
satisfied he forgot himself at what volume he arrived,
and worries whether it would pay to sandwich Queen
Lil with his next number. I have consulted books which
my poor purse could purchase; do not blame me for
having accomplished but what was possible; my, our
poorness is others' fault. Look at my writing in a
friendly spirit, and you will readily understand what
"G. Ch." "0. R." "RHS." means. If not, if a dif-
ferent spirit rules your mind, think that a day may
come for you or your children when you have to raise
chickens for eggs, peddle flowers in the street, haul
manure for a living, and with all that, not only think
about publishing books like mine, but accomplish it
too, when bordering on the satanic proposition: tails,
no gain; heads, no go.

REMARKS RESPECTING THE GENERA AND SPECIES EM-
PLOYED IN RAISING HYBRIDS.

Cattleya, Laelia, Catlaelia.

The grouping of numerous Cattleyas as varieties of
labiata has been ignored by me when classifying the
hybrids. After all every species is more or less closely
related to others, and to fight over the degree of rela-
tionship appears to me rather trivial. The gardening
community recognizes an unlimited amount of varieties,
and to allow easy recognition, I have mentioned every
Cattleya, as we gardeners have been wont to do for years.
Ct. labiata vera is labiata plain and simple. Eldorado
and Mossiae and all the rest stand on their own merit.

Ct. Harrisoriiana Batem., is given by Veitch's Manual
as variety of Loddigesii and I retained it as such, though
the Orchid Review recognizes a distinct species in it.
We look at them in the light of value in hybridizing,
and are satisfied that the influence of Harrisoniana is
not bold enough to insist upon recognition. But as the
variety is mentioned in every instance in which it was
employed, no harm has been done.

Cypripedium.

The Cypripedia having been employed most of any
orchids in hybridizing furnish many cases of embar-
rassment, which it was not pleasant to compromise. I
have been in doubt whether to let Cpd. Boxalli occupy
the rank of a species or of a variety of villosurn only.

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 67

I am prepared for all the objection which can be raised
on account of my having decided to subdue in my list
this Cypripedium as a species. But who of you calls
Cpd. Sanderse anything but a variety of insigne? As
long as I have ranked the crosses raised with Boxalli as
varieties of the class which was formed previously with
villosum, or vice versa, I feel satisfied that justice has
been done to all those placing more importance in
that lady-slipper. Cpd. villosum aureum will impress
its progeny with characters as conspicuous as the black-
est Boxalli atratum could cause; and does not any good
orchid collection furnish an assortment of varieties
linking these two extremes so gradually that you could
not draw the line where one begins and the other left
off?

Cpd. Elliottianum is nothing but a variety of Roth-
schildianum.

The controversy over Cpd. excellens I have cut short
by retaining this name for the hybrid exhibited origi-
nally as excelsior. It amused me having decided in just
this way ere the number of the Orchid Review reached
me in which that journal proposed the very same. But
why go back and re-establish excelsior? That is a syno-
nym of Buchanianum, and to prevent any attempt of
christening another hybrid by that name, let us adhere
to excellens.

The name of Cpd. Memoria Moensii x has been refused
recognition on account of its oddity; Moens and Moensii
have been suggested instead. We are so lucky to be
able to dispose of both Moens and his Memoria, as the
bastard is nothing but a duplicated Tityus of Messrs.*
Veitch.

Cpd. Lucienianum x is one of those unfortunate
hybrids that does not remember who its father was, and

68 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

in its anxiety to gain respectability bothered me consid-
erable in straightening out the records. Let such cases
be a warning to us not to recognize foundlings, or at
least depreciate them so much in dollars and cents that
the firm sending out such things will take more trouble
next time to keep track of their lots.

At the sale of the Fernside collection, April 7 , 1891,
plants of Elliottianum with seed of that species crossed
with Lathamianum x and euryandrum x resp., sown
unto the pots, were sold. What has become of them?

I am one of those unfortunate orchid enthusiasts to
whom never was granted acquaintanceship with the king
of Cypripedia, Stonei platytsenium. Do not blame me,
therefore, if I make a blunder in suggesting that it be
a natural hybrid between Stonei and Lowii. Such cross
artificially raised has not flowered yet, and though there
is every possibility of a seedling of such parentage
growing in some collection at the present time, do not
mind trying it over and over again. You know how
much hybrids vary, and if you do not flower a Stonei
platytsenium, may be it will be a platytsenium never-
theless.

Several names have been used twice in christening
hybrids. Three of those, viz., Adonis, Macfarlanei and
Horneri stand as good hybrids, their namesakes requir-
ing subduction as synonyms. But all the rest are elim-
inated entirely from the rank of distinct hybrids as they
had been raised at other places previously. They are
Denisianum, Sirius, gloriosum, Roberti, Hebe, Hera,
Cecilia, and the commonplace hybridurn.

All those hybrids of Cypripedia which, as far as I
could learn, are identical with the reverse of the original
cross, deserve special enumeration:

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 69

Arthurianum, calophyllum, Lathamianum,

Leeanum, nitens, Measuresianum,

Morganise, oenanthum, Savageanum.

selligerum, Tautzianum.

The only ones of which I found mention to the con-
trary are the crosses of niveum and Lawrenceanum:
Antigone and Aphrodite. But how fallacious a con-
clusion a priori can turn out is taught to us by Cpd.
Lawrebel of which " the first flower resembled the pollen
parent (bellatulurn), but another plant showed just
opposite characteristic." Observations like these con-
firm the decision I made from the very outset of my
classification, that the progeny of two species belong
under one name only, and if found to vary sufficient to
admit special distinction, allow them varietal rank.

Though I believe it possible to say at the time of cross-
ing two species what the result will be in shape, color
and plant, we will be safer in our supposition if we pre-
dict: one of the numbers is apt to display the characters
we attribute to the seedling. Look at the number of lo
in circulation, and be surprised how nearly they revert
to one species or other. At the RHS. meeting, No-
vember 14, 1893, Mr. Fitt, of Panshanger, Hertford,
showed Cpd. Leeanum (insigne X Spicerianum) " and
also a plant from the same seed-capsule which had re-
verted very near to Spicerianum." Still fresh in every-
body's mind is the remarkable case reported by Mr.
Wm. Grey, grower of Mr. Erastus Coming's orchids, at
Albany, N. Y. [0. R., Aug., '94]. He fertilized Gode-
froyse with niveum and reports that he " produced con-
color, niveum, Godefroyae, leucochilum, leucochilum pure
white, bellatulum, and nearly fifty distinct forms." Taken
cum grano satis, I do not see anything so remarkable in
this case. Let us remember that niveum and Godefroyse

70 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

are not very far separated as species, and that with
bellatulum and Regnieri we have nearly the full set of
what we term the niveum-group. Look around in your
own or your neighbor's relationship, and do not be sur-
prised at the analogy you will discover. Does your boy
raise pigeons? or your wife chickens? Why is it that
your boy possesses pigeons which display color and spots
never traceable to the parents in question? Why is it
your little flock of pullets has quite a number that carry
double combs, whereas you know for a fact that rooster
and hen both have a single lop-comb? Keep your eyes
open, and the records of your hybridizing strict and
truthful, and you will lend a strong and generous helping
hand to the botanist who -tries to father you. Let us
speak fully about the remarkable Cpd. medea moiistrosa
raised as (Spicerianum $ X hirsutissimum) by Mr. W.
B. Latham, the curator of the Birmingham Botanic
Garden, at Edgbaston. He had sent it to Mr. R. A.
Rolfe, who named it provisionally as above and added:
" Veitch's hybrid is normal in character, yours may or
may not become so hereafter. Others from the same
cross may come all right if you have them. The lip is
not really absent, but abnormal in shape, more like a
sepal. Its greatest curiosity to my mind is that the two
stamens are changed into perfect staminodes. I should
keep it, if only as a curiosity, it is a very instructive plant.
If proof were wanted that the staminode is only a mod-
ified stamen, surely here it is." Let me, as a far-off
observer, add that the plant should be grown on, divided
and distributed to centers of learning where botanical
objects of scientific value are supposed to be taken care
of. But one plant was raised, and though it would have
been interesting to have a dozen more seedlings from
the same capsule, it is just as likely that not one other

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 71

might have displayed such character. It has now
flowered for four years and proves its character to be
constant. "W. D.," in Gard. Chron., Dec. 10, '92, re-
ports on this medea monstrosa and tells us that it has
been impregnated again with a view to restore the pouch.
If "W. D." should not have quite understood the char-
acter of the abnormal, though constant flower, we are
neverthelesss very much interested with what he may
produce, and thank him for further information.

Next time when you have a trilabella flower of an
orchid in your collection, use its pollen and also fertilize
its stigma; though, of course, a trilabella being a mon-
strosity, or rather an abnormal flower, you have to make
the best of whatever of the sexual organs you find in
healthy condition. If your first attempt at fixing such
abnormal state fails, try again, and again. If you do
not produce gorgeousness or beauty, you perhaps suc-
ceed in arriving at flowers the product of which should
be paid highly for by botanic institutions.

It might also be cited at this place the instance of the
dimidiate Cpd. Harrisianum Dauthieri x fig. in G. Ch.,
March 16, '95, showing a separated marking of barbatum
and villosum. We learn that it is a "sport," an un-
perfect blending of the characters of the resp. parents.
But the report fails to inform us whether this sport is
constant or only temporal.

The contents of a very interesting letter from William
Grey, Kenwood Gate, Albany, N. Y., have been em-
bodied in the list of hybrids wherever the crosses per-
fected required their place, but aside from expressing
my obligation for such liberal information as furnished
by him, I have to mention specially a cross performed
with Cypripedia. He writes: " In 1892, feeling Pick-
wickian, I fertilized barbatum pulcherrimum with one

72 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

anther of niveum, one of Spicerianum, one of Chantiiiii
(which would have given resp. Tautzianum, Eyermani-
anuin, Ashburtonise). The three anthers were placed
on the stigma in a few seconds. I have nine nice plants,
two very strong growers with leaves mottled like Aylingii
(which is from ciliolare x niveum), but longer and twice
the width. The others look all Spicerianum stock.
This trial was made with the idea of saving flowers and
having finer plants to take up room; my space for seed-
lings is very limited." I have given the names these
crosses would require, and look for hybrids direct in the
line of those already resulted at other places. As I have
not found mention of other experiments to equal this —
though many may have been tried — I like to give it
special distinction. It is highly interesting to know
that different pollen will fertilize at the same time the
ovules in an ovary, though, of course, exceptions will
be to this rule, as there are to every other.

Other interesting notes, across which I came while
writing up my subjects, have been related in connection
with the hybrids in the list.

Seedlings, one parent of which was Cpd. Stonei, are
stated to require longer time to arrive at the flowering
state than others. D. 0. Drewett in Gard. Chron.,
March 3, '93.

While Cypripedium seedlings have flowered already
in the second year, other seedlings from the very same
seedpod have required double that time. H. Horner,
Gard. Chron., July 8, '93.

Dendrobium.

Of interesting notes not included in the enumeration,
I have to mention the following: Ddr. Dalhousianum
is reported as hard to cross (J. Douglas, Gard. Chron.,

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 73

July 8, '93). Wm. Murray, Mr. Cookson's clever man,
mentions that he took "considerable over a thousand
Deiidrobes from one seed vessel " (Gard. Chron., Feb. 24,
'94). 0. R., July, '93, states that the cross of (Ainsworthii
x and Findlayanum), chrysodiscus, is "remarkably
different " from the reverse cross, melanodiscus.

Odontogrlossum.

It is only with the appearance of the Orchid Review
that order began to reign amongst the multitude of
Odontoglossum hybrids. Reichenbach suprised us once
when attempting to classify the relatives of Od. Ruck-
erianum and Andersonianum under the name of lan-
ceans. But of what little weight such effort was is
obvious, when we learn how he himself deprived his
attempt of all importance when stating " for my corre-
spondents I use the older names." To dub Odontoglos-
sum hybrids with all kinds of names has become such
mania that it seems incredible to many that people could
be found to allow the use of their names for such tramps
amongst the noble class of species belonging to the
Odontoglossa. I have mentioned in another place that
I have not beheld an orchid for now almost eight years.
Of all the impressions received from subjects in garden
and nature, none have remained as vivid and bright as
the faces of all my orchid friends. But I trust that my
adapting of Mr. Rolfe's classification will not be ascribed
to me as theft. My intentions to restore order in this
class have been honest and persevering, as hundreds of
drawings and paintings on this very subject will bear
me out. I have exhibited them at the meetings of the
scientific committee of the Royal Hort. Soc., at South
Kensington, and of all the scientific work once under-
taken by me and rudely interrupted through fate's

74 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

ruling, the abandoning of my Odontoglossum study
was a cruel blow. Like this very day, when I rove
through the forest here or ride through the canons of
our Sierras, I tell at a glance which oak is of hybrid
nature, and figure on the percentage of strange "blood"
assimilated in a specimen before me: so with my Odoii-
toglossa. But years have passed over the lands; and
as the work which I may leave to-day at this place per-
haps has already found a fresh enthusiast in a home
with our antipodes ere the sheltering cover of hair has
left that forehead under which the battle between
thought and fact was fought: so little difference does it
make who solves these trifling problems of our universe.
The ant fills a place, arid its work is weighty with its
people. While one man is engaged to prove the extent
of this mundane sphere, another, his neighbor, is plant-
ing the potatoes which serve as his food; and both are
filling a high vocation.

It would have been a pleasure for me to adopt Mr.
Rolfe's classification in the very form he offers it, if I
could have made it agree with the rules laid down for
my system. If Od. Andersonianurn and Ruckeriamum
are both hybrids from the crossing of gloriosum and
crispum, they should be ranged under the name claiming
priority, and, if need be, a variety established for the
later discovered cross. To class all the bastards of the
two species mentioned under the combination name of
Od. glorioso-crispum is conforming to rules of botanists,
and a good solution when dozens of established names
claim equality in rank with the first discovered natural
hybrid. But we can not adopt such course in one in-
stance, if in every other we simply refer every additional
hybrid to the name established long since. That stands,
and is understood to be the result of the parents given

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 75

as record. As the followers of this cross have reached
so large a number and are so inveterately established
with us, it was a lucky idea of Reichenbach to propose
a new name and thus lop off the heads of all the bas-
tards clamoring for recognition: he founded his lanceans.
I adopt it, partly because it has been established and
has to be dealt with, partly while laboring under the
conviction that it will be almost impossible to do away
with such names as Ruckerianum, Andersonianum,
Pollettianum and the fifty others. Call all of them
lanceans and make as many varieties of it as you may
feel inclined. It might be said that for the rest of the
Odontoglossa groups I should also recognize a collective.
None have been established, and none should be created.
No other class is as numerous, so that we can more easily
adapt ourselves to the use of the ones in vogue. The
collective names are terms peculiar to botanists, and not
welcome as a substitute for the first established names.

The crosses of luteopurpureum and crispum are best
known as Wilckeanum. DenisoniaB claims priority, and
while I know that the gardening world will be slow to
accept such substitution, it nevertheless has to take first
rank.

I give separately all those hybrids across the records
of which I came, and which have not yet been spoken
of by Mr. Rolfe. Future supplements will bring what-
ever corrections might have been made to that list.

Selenipedium,

In spite of the ruling tendency amongst gardeners to
range this genus under Cypripedium, it cannot be up-
held as long as we recognize at all any botanical distinc-
tion. La3lia and Cattleya are more nearly related than
these two genera.

76 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

The nomenclature of this genus, if taken to Cypripe-
dium, would interfere in a few cases, viz.: giganteum,
Venus and robustum (robustius and robusticus, lingua
hortulanorum!).

Regarding the varieties of Spd. longifolium, I have
preferred to follow the division of Rolfe (Gard. Chron.
Dec. 20, '90.) in Hincksianura, the Isthmus of Darien
form, Roezlii, from New Granada, and Hartwegii, the
Ecuador variety.

Spd. longifolium is so variable a species that it can-
not be wondered at that all those crosses in which it took
part display a wonderfully great relationship; so much
so, in fact, that sooner or later some rearrangement will
have to be made defining those seedlings which display
a character rendering their certificate of birth liable to
forfeiture. I will mention those cases which came under
my notice. Spd. Albanense (Schlimii X Sedenii x)
Veitch's Manual, page 105, states " differs in no essential
character from the original Sedenii. " It is doubtful
whether Sedenii took any part in this cross, but if it
did not, I would not have referred it to that cross. —
Further, Spd. porphyreum (longifolium ? X Schlimii),
Mr. Drewett 0. Drewett writes in his letter of March 3,
'93: " The seedlings varied greatly. I have as good a
variety of Sedenii candidulum as there is from this same
batch. The above is a very dark, if properly grown." —
Again: (cardinale X longifolium) could "almost pass as
a light form of Sedenii." 0. R., Oct., '93.— -Further, Mr.
W.Vanner, Camden Wood, Chislehurst, in 0. R., June,
'93, Spd. pulchellum (grande x ? X Sedenii candidulum
x). He states " they are remarkably like Spd. leucorr-
hodum x, notwithstanding the different parentage. The
influence of caudatuin is almost lost. Of the six plants
raised, none were quite alike." Remembering that

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 77

grande was raised from Roezlii and caudatum, and
Sedenii from longifolium and Schlimii albiflorum, and
that leucorrhodum is the seedling of Roezlii crossed with
Schlimii albiflorum; the case is very natural indeed.
The Garden of May 26, '88, states, under W.'s signature,
the following: " I recently saw in Mr. Buchan's garden
at Southampton, a very good seedling of Spd. Roezlii,
which had been obtained from the same pod of seed
which produced Spd. Sedenii candidulum, evidently
proving that all the seeds were not crossed." Though
the latter part of that sentence is absurd, the statement
given in good faith is interesting enough. It would
have been desirable if a center of learning and teaching
like Kew had taken up a case like this and investigated
its record. About Spd. macrochilum x and Hardyanum
x I have spoken before.

Spd. cardinale offers debate for which I never looked
when confronted with it. Mr. D. 0. Drewett wrote:
" Please, note that the proper name is cardinaKs, not
cardinale. Reichenbach wrote on this point a very
bitter letter. Cardinal^ means of the Cardinal or car-
dinal colored, cadinale means hinged. The mistake has
arisen from making the specific name agree in gender
with the generic, whereas it is an adjective descriptive."
Nobody can be more ready than I to accept corrections
in nomenclature. But my old George's Dictionary went
to the store with the Perugian emblem when I left school
and thought I had done with Latin for good; and my
copy of the original description in Gard. Chron., Oct.
14, '82, states cardinale in two places. As it bore. H. G.
Rchb. f. at the tail of it, I do not mind the mesmer-
izing of the gone spirit. True as this statement of Mr.
Drewett's is, and correct as the reasoning undoubtedly
would prove, I must have lost trace of the correction in

78 ORCHID HYBRIDS.

the next number of Gard. Chron., as E-chb. f. never
failed to speak out the venom of his feelings. If he
failed that time at that place, the contemporaneous cor-
respondence only would chronicle the opposite, and
manuscript assertion cannot be regarded superior to non-
protested publication.

Special interest has been aroused by all those crosses
in which Spd. caudatum Lindenii participated; and well
it might. If the progeny of this abnormal peloria shows
pouches exceeding in size by far what human calcula-
tion would predict, we are confronted with a problem
worthy the engagement of any scientist's study. I
enumerate all those cases belonging here. Of Spd.
grande var. macrochilum (longifolium $ X caudatum
Lindenii) it is said that its lip is " twice as large as of
longifolium." — Spd. Hardyanum var. Penelaus (cauda-
tum Lindenii X Ainsworthii calurum x). — Spd. gigan-
teum (caudatum Lindenii X grande x), of an ' 'unusually
large form." — Spd. nitidissimum Cloiiius (conchiferum
x ? X caudatum Lindenii), "with a large chaste lip."
All of which cases go to show that the variety Lindenii
fails to impart its abnormal state to any of the seedlings
raised; indeed, it is hard to say with certainty whether
this peloriate variety had taken part in any of those
productions of the gardener's skill.

About other genera, I have to mention generally only
that my arrangement with Phalaenopsis leucorrhoda is
made according to records published with those supposed
hybrids which I now group under that name. The mass
of Calanthe vestita hybrids has become so mixed that we
might just as well give up the hope of restoring order
in their ranks. But that much is certain, that if we
cross a variety of vestita with another one of the same

GENERA AND SPECIES EMPLOYED. 79

species, our hybrid can be but a vestita and nothing
else. But little importance should be attached to seed-
lings of Calanthe vestita as regards scientific individu-
ality. Their kind is too closely related as that we could
look for distinctness in their progeny. As illustration
may serve the statement of Swan, at Oakley, Fallow-
field, who writes in G. Ch. Dec. 9, '82: " Some seedlings,
the result of crossing Cut. Veitchii x with the pollen of
vestita have turned out true Cnt. vestita, both the red
and the white eyed varieties, without a trace of Veitchii
in either form or color." Such peculiarity, of course,
has nothing whatever to do with the exceedingly great
value of Calanthe hybrids for the uses of the gardener.

Of Masdevallia, I find mentioned that Lutwyche, of
Beckenham, pollenized coccinea Harryana successfully
with bella, and coccinea Lindeni with Houtteana, rais-
ing good capsules in either case, though he never suc-
ceeded vice versa. (See 0. R., Jan., '94. )

Of horticultural oddities in the line of hybridizing I
have to mention:

Homer crossed Zgp. Mackayi with Epd. ciliare, as
well as Oc. tigrinum, and had seedlings of both. Gdn.,
Nov. 2, '89.

Chapman, for Measures, Camberwell, effected a cross
between Msdvl. leontoglossa and Pleurothallis Roezlii.
0. R., April, '94.

Roezl narrates in L'O. (report G. Ch., July 7, '86) that
in Rothschild's gardens at Vienna, Schomburgkia tib-
icinis had been crossed with LI. purpurata, and Sobralia
macrantha with Ct. Mossiae.

It is not known to me what became of the crosses.

Veitch reports having crossed Zgp. Mackayi with
several Odontoglossa, but the result proved to be Zgp.
Mackayi in every instance.

Cpd. Boxalli Rchb. f.

In the foregoing classification of Cypripedia hybrids
this ladyslipper has been regarded by me as a variety of
Cpd. villosum only. My views on this subject are set
forth on page 66, and looking over my notes, drawings
and water-colors, and taking in consideration so weighty
a dictum as Veitch's Manual, I refuse, in the face of the
Orchid Review's firm stand, to change my position. But
have not all of us, near and far, experienced that the
Orchid Review proves about as unbiased as it is possible
to become? And do not all of us look to " R. A. R." as
the supreme voice which renders the decision in any
case of dispute? Can it be wondered at, therefore, if
I feel forced to give the key and list of synonyms for
the hybrids of Cpd. Boxalli, and to note in which respect
the key to those of Cpd. villosum will be effected? I do
this as a tribute of recognition to a journal whose every

CYPRIPEDIUM.

185

statement is valuable, and the more so the older its voice
becomes. As noted before, every cross brought about
through the agency of Cpd. Boxalli has been given
varietal rank, and in those few instances where the ar-
rangement interferes with the alphabetical grouping as
hybrids of villosum, the page is noted on which the
hybrid has been classified.

CYSEPEDIUM. 187

CYSEPEDIUM.

(Cypripedium X Selenipedium.)

If I propose to order under this combination-name all
those attempts at cross-fertilization of species of the
genera Cypripedium and Selenipedium, I do not see why
the fact that not one of all those attempts has ever pro-
duced a flowering plant should interfere with my pro-
posal. Have we not in cultivation at many establishments
already plants now raised in this way? Are we not all
interested and debating about this class of orchid hybrids?
More than that, do we not firmly believe that we are on
the eve of the red-letter day on which the first of these
unica bursts into flower? And if we should be disap-
pointed, it is convenience that names objects, and if
my name hits the head of the nail, and drives it home,

R. M. Grey states, in litt., Jan., '94, that he "suc-
ceeded in but two instances with raising seedlings, though
they did not flower." " Sowed over a hundred pods of
seed."

These are the only cases across which I have come in
all my researches, and I took care not to overlook any.
I trust my notes will be encouraging to all those who
care to leave the well-worn tracks of everybody's vehicles.
But, gentlemen, do not let us be fed with such meager
notes, when we are troubled with ravenous appetite
for information, and the worse so the nearer we think
we are getting to the day on which you will appease our
greed. Keep track of what you perform, give time em-
ployed, and all circumstances developing, and when the
hybrid flowers, I trust that the godfathers of the plant
of your care will have the moral courage to attach to it
the name of its raiser, the successful gardener.

standpoint, and puzzles when considered by the scientist.
They swell the number of those crosses (enumerated in
the supplement) which refuse to combine the characters
of the parents employed, and instead take wholly after
one parent only. They are:

Cspd. Corndeanii, " supposed to have originated from
(Cpd. Lawreiiceanum ? X Spd. Sedenii x), though
only the influence of the former is apparent " (0. R.,
June, '95). " It was bought at a sale of Proth. &
Morris, and cannot be vouched for in its record. Sown
April, '90; sdlgs. July, '90. Exhbt. at RHS., May 14,
'95, for Swinburne, Corndean Hall, Cheltenham, by
Rendel.

Cspd. Cunea (Spd. longifolium Hartwegii $ X Cpd.
Stonei). Raised by Robert M. Grey, for Graves,
Orange, Mass. Its record is not clouded through un-
certainty. It was crossed March 4, '92; sown May 8,
'92, germinated July 8, '92, and flowered Aug. 23, '94.
" The pollen was removed from the seed-bearing plant
before the flower was fully expanded. The plant re-
sembles the seed-bearing parent very closely; scape
pubescent; flowers colored much as in Hartwegii, but
broader at apex of lip." He remarks: "I had very
many hybrids between the two genera up when I left
Mr. Graves' employ." In litt. , July 27, '95.

perfected so far.

Od. DenisoniaeLeroyanum(crispum ? xluteopurpureum).
Raised by Jacob, head-gardener at Armainvillers, near
Paris; named after Leroy, gardener to Rothschild,
Paris, fg. L'Orch., June, '91. Rchbch., t. 37. 5
years 6 months growing were needed to raise this first
Odontoglossum hybrid. We are told that during the
first 18 months the seedlings resembled Zygopetalum
more than Odontoglossum.

Od. Leroyanum Castle, in G. Ch., '90, i, p. 704.

ODONTOGLOSSUM ODOPETALUM. 227

Od. excellens (nobile ? X triumphans). Seden, for
Veitch, Chelsea. Temple Show, May 29, '91.

Od. excellens Tresederianum (nobile Veitchianum ? x
triumphans). Treseder, for Heath, Cheltenham. He
writes about it, Feb., '93: "11 plants were raised in
1887; ten died in first and second year; one plant is
now flowering, with a strong spike of 22 flowers.'7

Od. (crispum x Hallii). "Nice plants." Yet unflowered.

Murray, for Cookson, Oakwood. G. Ch., May 11, '95.
Od. (crispum ? x Harryanum). One plant, unflowered,

with Vuylsteke, Ghent. 0. R., June, '95.
Od. (Insleayi ? x crispum). 20 plants, unflowered, with

Vuylsteke, Ghent. 0. R., June, '95.
Od. (luteopurpureum x Harryanum). Sdlgs. with Im-

schoot, Ghent. Germinated after 3-4 months. Men-
tioned G. Ch., April 6, '95.
Od. (Rossii x Cervantesii). Sdlgs. Leroy, Paris. G.

Ch., Dec. 21, '89.

I further have to cite that De Barry Crawshay, Seven-
oaks, had good capsules of (Rossii ? xDenisonise Wilcke-
anum), as well as of (crispum ? X gloriosum).

Murray raised for Cookson, Oakwood, sdlgs. of Od.
crispum with gloriosum as well as Uro-Skinneri, but all
died. Gdn., Feb. 10, '83.

"We have seedling Odontoglossum 12 months old."
Stevens, for Thompson, Stone, in litt., March, '93.

ODOPETALUM.

(Odontoglossum X Zygopetalum).

Odontopetalum or Zygoglossum are inadmissible on
account of previous establishment.

Seedlings raised by Veitch, of Chelsea, between Zgp.
Mackayi and several Odontoglossa have turned out to be
simple Zgp. Mackayi. Report RHS., Orchid Confer-

FIRST SUPPLEMENT;

RECORDING ADDITIONS TO LIST OF HYBRIDS PUBLISHED
UP TO OCTOBER 15, 1895.

While the printing of this book was proceeding, every-
thing new and appertaining was inserted in proper place,
as far as such course could be pursued. "The remaining
additions are offered in this first supplement. I note
again that the pages listing the new and corrected
hybrids might be cut into pieces and attached to strips,
which have to be provided for by the binder when ar-
ranging pages 80 to 245. As need makes itself felt, I
will publish further supplements.

Hybrids which display characters of but one of their
parents in more or less prominence, have been attract-
ing attention and causing discussions for quite a time
past. We have analogies in our home-life, and are thus
prepared to look upon them with interest only, not with
astonishment. I resume:

Cypripedium Ashworthice , ''apparently identical with
Leeanum." — (CfodefroycB X niveum) gave a multitude of
seedlings resembling related species. — Leeanum " revert-
ing to Spicerianum." — Marshallianum " seedlings gave
poor venustums." — Tautzianum " with no trace of

o»

248 LIST OF HYBRIDS.

Cysepedium-crosses evidently refuse to combine the
characters of their parents.

Dendrobium (nobile Cooksonianum )< nobile nobilius)
" producing ordinary forms of nobile." — Sibyl "with
no trace of bigibbum."

Epidendrum O'Brienianum " reverting to Epd. evec-
tum."
• Epiphronitis Veitchii with " no trace of Sophronitis."

Odopetalum, raised so far, turned out to be forms of
Zgp. Mackayi.

Selenipedium pulchellum "resembling leucorrho-
dum." — Porphyreum and albidulum from the same cross.
— Sedenii, resembling longifolium Rcezlii (see page 77.)
See also remarks on page 19.

Who is the first to introduce the blood of the wild
decideous Cypripedia into our race of hybrids? Would
not Cpd. spectabile with its vigorous nature, its stately
habit and its lovely bloom reward the hybridizer beyond
expectation? An entirely new race of Lady-slippers
should be raised with these species, neglected so far.

Corrections in nomenclature were called for in two
more instances. Cypripedium Romulus had been estab-
lished previous to the naming of Grey's hybrid of that
name. I substitute " Remus. "Thunia Veitchiana mag-
nifica, as exhibited of Sander-origin, has nothing to do
with Veitchiana, and is registered as magnifica.
